Finley Consulting specializes in developing and executing highly automated OS/DB migrations. Error-free and successful production migrations are a result of a comprehensive planning, development, testing, and refinement processes. A methodology of continuous refinement through process automation is implemented at every step. An automated table analysis procedure has been developed to determine the optimum parallel degree and order of operation for all database objects across numerous distributed processing nodes. The results of this analysis are then implemented into the overall process automation framework which results in pre-planned, optimal and automatic distribution of workload during the production migration. The entire Unicode migration process, from database analysis, table splitting and preparation, system setup, communication with distributed nodes, actual execution, error checking, and final verification is performed by a fully automated end-to-end process.
