Data Conversion,Migration and interface ..Why

important
Posted on June 9th, 2007 by Sanjit Anand | Print This Post | Email This Post
Have you tried OracleappsHub in ipad/iphone/smart Phone? Don't wait. try

it today
Do you know how many ways; we can enter the data into oracle application. Most of us can guess three different
ways as:
The Data can be entered using the application Screens.

The data can be entered using Oracle's Open System Interface.
The data can be stored in the database table directly
But those who works in some complex business environment may figure out some of more like:
3rd Party Software (for the third options)

Taviz (formerly SmartDB) which is EAI tool.
Crossroads
See Beyond (formerly STC)
Vitria
Data Loader: They have macro enabled spreadsheet kind of tool
More4apps
And there are many more, but most of these are used for master data, and few cases for transaction data via
Open interface if available.
Importance of data conversion/migration and interfaces within any ERP implementation project can't be ignored.
Since ERP mostly deals with data which finally leads into Information , thus it is equally important to
understand the aspect how "data" is important in any ERP system specailly in implementation phase, no matter
how simple and unified operation is. Since I been involved in some big transformation oracle apps project thus It
is a absolute a good cause to share some information about integration touch point, conversion/migration and
interface development to someone who is very new to ERP world as well as Oracle application.
Let's start with some common situation, we have three cases,
1. The Customer is running there some home grown IT application which cater most of the company need.
Now management has decided to go for any ERP solutions, then the question what will happen for data
which is already in the existing application?
2. Another situation is already using ERP
a. They want to upgrade to higher versionâ€¦presuming the structure of some table get changed? Lets say
10.7 to 11i
b. The company is acquired or merged with some other company, and the whole data need to move into
the parent or child company .
c. They want to enable some additional modules within existing application.
3. There are few data interacting with both the cases irrespective of database technology for where data is
coming and going based out of need.
The answer of the 1 is data migration and 2 is more pronounced as data conversion where as thirds is popularly
known as Interface. The ways these are working haven't much difference but it is more important to understand
definition and need. I never found any big difference between migration/conversion unless there is huge
transformation of data, the only things figure out is conversion might required some less steps to perform, as
assumption is that set up related stuff been already been taken care before execution of activity.
Let's understand like this: Data Migration as a process of moving required (and most often very large)
volumes of data from our clients' existing systems to new systems. Existing systems can be anything from
custom-built IT infrastructures to spreadsheets and standalone databases. Data conversion can be defined
as a process of converting data from one structural form to another to suit the requirements of the system
to which it is migrated.
Lets take a deep drive to understand better:
Why conversion/Migration is more important in ERP?
Before Go-Live in the production environment the required master data, the open transaction data and the
historical transaction data need to be imported from the old legacy applications to Oracle Applications. Since
data structure and data design in legacy systems are different from those of Oracle Applications, data need to be
messaged/ converted satisfying the business rules to suite the Oracle requirement. Initial data can be migrated by
any other means as discussed above depending upon cetain paramater like Volumn, usage, complexity , business
rule etc..
How we Define Data Conversion
Process where existing data from the client's old system is extracted, cleansed, formatted, and installed
into a new system.
These can be manual or automated.
The big difference is that these are One-time only process that requires extensive testing and preparation.
They must be executed and performed before a system goes into production.
What Is An Interface then
These are programs for connection between Two Systems In Order To Synchronize the Data.
They can be Manual, Batch or Real-Time.
Used Repeatedly and Should Therefore Be Designed and Constructed In the Most Efficient Manner
Possible.
These can Be Triggered by an Event (Such As Running A Concurrent Program) Or It Can Be Scheduled
To Run At A Certain Time.
Can Be Very Costly To Construct And Maintain.
Does the conversion/migration/interface have Life Cycle
Yes, they have, because they have a significant efforts required in development and design and implementation
Functional Designer works with business owners to determine the data mapping and complete the
functional design using the Design Templates.
If the interface/conversion is automated, the Technical Designer converts functional requirements into
technical specs for the construction of the interface programs.
The developer uses the functional and technical designs to build and test the interface/conversion
programs.
More rounds of testing are done until the interface/conversion is migrated to the production environment
for deployment.
Conversion is assumed as one time activity but never looks like small activity which can be performed
with couple of days.

How conversion and interface differ?
There are good numbers of parameter on which they can be categorize. Take few of
them:
Learn more
Frequency
conversions are a one time event
interfaces are ongoing
Occurrence in the project timeline
conversions executed before production
interfaces executed during production
Manner of execution
conversions are batch
interfaces may be batch or real time
Complexity
Conversion does have very complex, its totally depends upon the data
mapping activity.
coordinating with other systems make interfaces more complex
Maintenance
Maintence of interface is bit cost intensive task.
Interface Type
You have learned how interface is differ from Conversion/Migration. Now lets take few types of interfaces:
Normally in any system , there are two kinds of interface as:
Inbound Interfaces
An inbound interface receives data from one system (legacy) and inserts into Oracle
open interface tables.
A typical inbound interface would follow these steps:
1. Extract data from legacy system into a flat file.
2. Use SQL*Loader or equivalent tool to upload information into a temporary table.
3. Write a PL/SQL program to take data from the temp table and insert into the Open
Interface Tables.
4. Through the concurrent manager in Oracle Applications, run the standard Oracle
Interface program to transform interface tables into Oracle data.
Outbound Interfaces
o An outbound interface takes data from Oracle tables and inserts it into an external system (via
tables or flat file).
o A typical outbound interface would follow these steps:
- Write a PL/SQL program to extract data from Oracle base tables into a flat file.
- Use a custom program to read that data and post it into the legacy system
Do we have some other standard way to do interface?
Open Interface is a table based interface registered as a concurrent program

process records in batches.
spawned(Pro-C) or PL/SQL based programs.
API (Application Program Interface) is a parameter based stored procedure
directly impacts base database tables.
may be called from Oracle open interfaces,Forms, Reports.
EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) uses industry standard data definitions(US/ANSI/X.12) for
transmission of documents such as PO's, Invoices, Sales Order, etc.Oracle provides some EDI transactions
through EDI Gateway.(
Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) solutions are often used when complex integration requirements
exist.
What Is An Open Interface Table (OIT)?
For inbound interfaces, the interface table is the intermediary table where data from the source application
temporarily resides until it is validated and processed into an Oracle base table through a standard import
concurrent program.
Open Interface Tables are standard Oracle tables.
Oracle uses OITs to provide a simple interface to Oracle base tables.
Oracle has list of all the open interface that oracle offered in there product.
Oracle Interface Program
Most Oracle modules have standard import programs (concurrent processes) to facilitate custom inbound
interfaces. The specific processing performed varies by application.
These programs pull data from the open interface tables, validate the data, and then insert into one or more
Oracle base tables.
Upon successful completion of processing, the program deletes the processed rows from the interface
table or marks them as completed.
Depending on the import, errors can be viewed in various ways (exception reports, error tables, forms,
etcâ€¦).
Examples of standard import programs:
GL: Journal Import

AP: Payables Open Interface
AR: Customer Interface
INV : Item Import
AR - Autoinvoice
Ok, thats is all about Conversion and Interfaces briefing. I will write some more for Tools used for
Conversion/Interface and will discuss some granular details about a conversion/migration project and share
some information about how and where AIM's documents fits into conversion and Migration projects. So watch
out this space for some more stuff for conversions.. Till than..your comment and requset you to share some
information relaeted to these areas.

Patric,
take a quick look on doc B25516_06.

I donot know which API’s you are looking for, if you provide some input , i will surly assist you.
There are some Inbound supported API’s avaiable

Let me know does conversion use API while upoading the data from interface tables to standard tables….
If it is using we can use that conversion program as an interface.

Hi Anand,
I found this article quite informative. I am actually an applications DBA currently dealing with Merge a
Financial module into another instance which is running Manufacturing modules. Can you kindly provide
me any deatil doc for loading module wise from legact to existing system.
Thanks & Best regards,

Siva
20. Sanjit Anand Says:

February 4th, 2008 at 7:55 am
hello sivakumar,
there is nothing from Oracle side, which can quickly merge Unified Financial opartion with Unified
Manufacturing opertion, if running seperatly..
The point which need to be understtod that, the target instance should be one where the entire basic setup
have to be performed.This can be better understood less gap requirement, custaomization if pergormed by
inhoues team , but the more inmportant is ;
1.extending the existing COA of target instance to accomdate the new structure.
2. New setup required for all basic setup required for Manufacturing opertion like Inv org,accounting
structure,etc…
I donot find any critical role for a DBA side in this whole exercise, as the requirement is purly functional
from setup point of view, and more time to stressed on testing, as your more important exsiting system
can’t be jeoparadies.
And secondly, you need to do data conversion quickly and cleanly from One instance to other instance.
third, all customaztion and interface from one instance should be targetted to target instance.
Therefore whole exerice consist of:

1. Research on existing COA stucture
2. Extend the existing COA to accomadte new (???? most challengling)
3. Replicate the basic setup in target instance.
4. Test the setup
5.Do the data conversion activity atleast for open items, like item master, onhand, BOM,open sales order
etc etc..
5.test the migrated data
6. test the integaration of data with other module
7.Migrate all customzation and interface from one instace to another, Move is bit easy, but testing is one of
time consuming activity.
8. User involvement.
You can treat this as, some sort of re-implemenation exercise.The whole task would be based out of how
best existing chart of account can be extended.
As my experince ,PURLY FINANCIALAL instance the COA of account normally have 6 to 7 segments
where the Manufacturing will have some more additional 3-4 segments to capture at lower leval.
I donot have any formal document, but can walk through some high points what is really required in this
exerice.
I hope atleast , now you can think what is required.
More over, if you provide some more point like

1. COA stucture of two instances.
2.The product module which are targeted in final instance.
3. Are the both the instance running on same releases.

hello sagar,
it depends, but what the oracle is using internally is not public API’s.
Conversion and interface does not have any big difference. the name is only difference from project
prospective. the basic flow with in both are same, indeed interface will have some more error handling
mechasim , this is only big difference.
22. API’s or Open Interface Says:

February 12th, 2008 at 9:38 pm
[…] dear friend, there is hardly any difference the way both is working,do check my previous post.
Anyway here is back to basic […]

Is it possible to convert expenses invoice (AP)with project/task distribution and xferto PA but NOT to GL

Reason: Customer has been using AP, AR and GL for some time now. We are implementing PA. Customer
wants to convert cost (Expenses). These costs are allready present as expense invoices and hence the
converted costs should not be posted to GL.
Any help would be welcome.

You can use the item interface to update items and category assignments by populating:
– MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_INTERFACE
– MTL_ITEM_CATEGORIES_INTERFACE
then run the respective seeded program

29. Ehsan Says:

April 23rd, 2008 at 11:30 am
Hi,
How to define the steps in defining the scope of work and query to complete conversion process?
e.g.
– Legacy Data
– Ensuring Data of Interest
– Entities of Interest
– Quality of Data
– Integrity issues
– unmatched foreign keys
– Constraints issue etc etc
– Data Cleansing
– Creation of unnormalized data structures (Interface Tables)
– Simulation etc etc
There are many similar tasks involved in this process.
Do you have the ideal way of listing all such activities including Queries Scope and plan?
e.g.
Task: Data Of Interest
This task must execute 10 queries Q1, Q2..Q10
Q1 Scope: Shall determine the target data base (must Have fields) and Legacy Fields
Q2 scope….
etc etc
I need this type of document.

Thanks for emailing me any document/ template you have for conversion guys.!!!

July 7th, 2008 at 8:54 pm
Putting Validation either from table or Views , does not make any difference.Moreover Its depends upon
how comfortable you are in recalling table or view name with there corresponding column.
Just for example….validation for CCID either from base table GL_CODE_COMBINATION OR
GL_CODE_COMBINATION_kfv does not make any sense.
Its depends upon how you are using. Moreover there are some instances when views will nor serve the
purpose, as they are multiorg enabled where not need to set the environment for OU.
Moreover Lookups are only part of validation, and best practice is to use base table rather than view.
Another trick , is that if you are not sure what column and table details, better to navigate the Oracle form
and try to get the information from the last menu attached with that form.
Conversion or migration, the more you stress should be

1. rewind processs :how you are going to rewind the whole process as you are dealing of hell lot of bulk
data
2.Expection handling : your code should be smart enough in term of reporting so that exception should be
easily identified and you can fix it.
3.Putting data Loading in Batches : this is more important. Lets say you are dealing with 7 years
Transaction data, its not recommeded to load in one batch. design your program from easiness and range
of parameter so that other factors can be automatically taken care.
4.If you are retriving CCID, in code recomended to use CCID Function rather putting All segment value,
but again this is choice , and Volumn of data in a batch.

I have a case where client is maintaining Oracle application for 4 years with module stacks like AP,AR
GL,CM,INV,PO,OM. Now they want to move one of the legal entity to a seperate instance and also wants
history data to be migrated.There is no change of COA structure requirement.
Thanks

Hello Anand,
Many thanks for posting such useful notes on the website. I am a regular visitor.
Data conversion in an implementation can face 2 scenarios:
1) Fresh instance available for implementation and a business is going to go-live on the instance
2) An instance which is already used (other Operating Units are setup etc). In such a case, probably we
might need to look at what are the fields already used (for example attributes in master items table for
inventory)
With the above, we might need to work accordingly to prepare the data conversion templates. Do you have
any help document on how to go about preparing a data conversion template for various entities (for
example, items, open sales orders)
You can write to me on sajeedmujawar@gmail.com
many thanks again…

Thanks Sanjit for providing such an important information related to interfaces.
I have one question can you please help me to clarify my doubt…
What i have understood from this article that interfaces are meant to transfer or synchronizing the data
from one system to other system..
But when we synchronize the data within oracle apps from one module to other (say OM to install base or
OM to AR) then this kind of data synchronization can also be considered as interfacing …
OR
when data transfermation done between oracle apps with some other legacy system (say Geneva billing)
then only it can be said as interfacing .
Thanks and Regards,

Javed Khan
