Adabas Data Conversion

The Adabas data extract and relational load process is simple and straightforward. During the extract process, all Adabas data is extracted and written to a set of sequential files that are ready to load to the new relational database target. The Adabas data extracts are fast and can be executed simultaneously. ATERAS can provide a number of extract variations for sites that have special requirements for a short Adabas conversion window. Data conversion during the cut-over weekend or evening is always fast and complete.

• Data Cleansing Workbench to provide rule-based data cleansing during the Adabas data extract process
• Date Conversion Workbench to allow the specification of the format of Adabas date fields along with the individual Adabas date field minimum and maximum values so that the DATE type specification can be used in relational databases (all date formats are supported)

• Record Re-Definition Workbench to allow changes to field types and lengths during the relational conversion
