US 2021/0240692 A1 · UNIFIED DATABASE TRANSITION TOOL

Abstract

Disclosed are a system and method for transitioning a database from one computer environment to another according to a standard workflow. An individual issues a command relating to transition to the system, and a transition management processor selects an associated sequence of technical transition processes according to a dynamic, best practices workflow. Each such process is performed by a corresponding module in the system, which is first configured by the processor according to which environment the command pertains. Some of the modules may be built-in, while some of the modules may be provided by third parties, including the database vendor. After each module performs its respective process, it generates a report, and when all modules have completed the processor transmits to the individual a response based on the produced reports, e.g. as a webpage.
