Abstract
A computer readable medium includes executable instructions to audit data migration. The executable instructions include instructions to define a data migration path from a source to a target. Audit points are specified within the data migration path. Audit statistics to be generated at the audit points are identified. The audit statistics including data corresponding to individual data values transmitted over the data migration path. Audit rules to be applied against the audit statistics are established.

A computer readable medium including executable instructions to audit data migration, comprising executable instructions to:
- define a data migration path from a source to a target;
- specify audit points within said data migration path;
- identify audit statistics to be generated at said audit points, said audit statistics including data corresponding to individual data values transmitted over said data migration path;
- and
- establish audit rules to be applied against said audit statistics.
A computer readable medium including executable instructions to audit data migration, comprising executable instructions to:
- identify audit points within a data migration path;
- display the audit points to a user;
- establish specified audit statistics for said audit points;
- accept user input for audit rules applied to said audit statistics;
- process data flow within said data migration path;
- collect from said data flow dynamic audit statistics corresponding to said specified audit statistics;
- save the audit statistics as metadata;
- optionally apply audit rules to said audit statistics;
- and
- save the results of said audit rules as metadata.
