System and Method for Managing Data Migration Based on Analysis of Relevant Data

A method for managing data migration from a legacy platform to a target platform, comprising:

• determining relevant data for data migration from among data stored by the legacy platform, wherein:
• relevant data is determined based at least in part upon whether the data stored by the legacy platform is used by the legacy platform, and
• the legacy platform is configured to store the data in legacy platform log files, database access files, and memory dumps associated with the legacy platform;
• determining frequently used relevant data, wherein the relevant data is determined to be frequently used when the relevant data is used more than an occurrence threshold number in a particular time period by the legacy platform;
• assigning a migration priority to the determined frequently used relevant data based at least in part upon a frequency of occurrence of the frequently used relevant data, wherein:
• a first frequently used relevant data assigned with a high migration priority are migrated to the target platform before a second frequently used relevant data assigned with a low migration priority;
• and
• the frequency of occurrence of the frequently used relevant data is determined based at least in part upon a number of times the frequently used relevant data is used in the particular time period by the legacy platform, and
• migrating the determined frequently used relevant data from the legacy platform to the target platform.

A computer program comprising executable instructions stored in a non-transitory computer readable medium that when executed by a processor causes the processor to:

• determine relevant data for data migration from among data stored by a legacy platform to a target platform, wherein:
• relevant data is determined based at least in part upon whether the data stored by the legacy platform is used by the legacy platform, and
• the legacy platform is configured to store the data in legacy platform log files, database access files, and memory dumps associated with the legacy platform;
• determine frequently used relevant data, wherein the relevant data is determined to be frequently used when the relevant data is used more than an occurrence threshold number in a particular time period by the legacy platform;
• assign a migration priority to the determined frequently used relevant data based at least in part upon a frequency of occurrence of the frequently used relevant data, wherein:
• a first frequently used relevant data assigned with a high migration priority are migrated to the target platform before a second frequently used relevant data assigned with a low migration priority;
• and
• the frequency of occurrence of the frequently used relevant data is determined based at least in part upon a number of times the frequently used relevant data is used in the particular time period by the legacy platform, and
• migrate the determined frequently used relevant data from the legacy platform to the target platform.
