Abstract
A system and method is disclosed for providing data staging and loading through a master data management (MDM) system coupled with one or more business entities. The system is operable to invoke batch data loading of data associated with one or more source systems associated with the one or more business entities, into an input staging area. The system is further operable to load the data from the input staging area into a master repository and subsequently load the data from the master repository into an output staging area.
Claims20
A system to reduce data loading time from one or more source systems, minimize any effect on the one or more source systems during data loading, and correct any error in the data, comprising:
- a master data management computer system comprising a processor and a memory, the master database management computer system configured to:
- invoke batch data loading of batch data of one or more source systems into an unconstrained area of an input staging area;
- automatically select one or more staging and master interfaces based on metadata of the one or more source systems;
- automatically select relational table structures based on semantic mapping metadata;
- evaluate the batch data loaded into the input staging area by an error correction workflow, wherein the error correction workflow comprises a structured query language implemented as a stored procedure;
- move any error records into an error table;
- correct any error records in the error table by a spooler within the error correction workflow, wherein the spooler invokes a data upload service which serializes data in XML format and invokes an application programming interface;
- load the batch data from the input staging area and corrected data from the error table into a master repository;
- and
- load the batch data from the master repository into an output staging area.
A method to reduce data loading time from one or more source systems, minimize any effect on the one or more source systems during data loading, and correct any error in the data, comprising:
- invoking, by a processor of a master database management computer system, batch data loading of batch data of one or more source systems into an unconstrained area of an input staging area;
- automatically selecting, by the processor, one or more staging and master interfaces based on metadata of the one or more source systems;
- automatically selecting, by the processor, relational table structures based on semantic mapping metadata;
- evaluating, by the processor, the batch data loaded into the input staging area by an error correction workflow, wherein the error correction workflow comprises a structured query language implemented as a stored procedure;
- moving, by the processor, any error records into an error table;
- correcting, by the processor, any error records in the error table by a spooler within the error correction workflow, wherein the spooler invokes a data upload service which serializes data in XML format and invokes an application programming interface;
- loading, by the processor, the batch data from the input staging area and corrected data from the error table into a master repository;
- and
- loading, by the processor, the batch data from the master repository into an output staging area.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodied with software to reduce data loading time from one or more source systems, minimize any effect on the one or more source systems during data loading, and correct any error in the data, the software when executed using one or more computers is configured to:
- invoke batch data loading of batch data of one or more source systems into an unconstrained area of an input staging area of a master database management computer system;
- automatically select one or more staging and master interfaces based on metadata of the one or more source systems;
- automatically select relational table structures based on semantic mapping metadata;
- evaluate the batch data loaded into the input staging area by an error correction workflow, wherein the error correction workflow comprises a structured query language implemented as a stored procedure;
- move any error records into an error table;
- correct any error records in the error table by a spooler within the error correction workflow, wherein the spooler invokes a data upload service which serializes data in XML format and invokes an application programming interface;
- load the batch data from the input staging area and corrected data from the error table into a master repository;
- and
- load the batch data from the master repository into an output staging area.
