Converting Legacy Data Formats for System Migration
During system migrations, teams encounter data in legacy formats that modern systems cannot process. CSV files with inconsistent encodings, XML with deprecated schemas, and fixed-width text files need format conversion and validation.
ขั้นตอนการทำงาน
- Inventory all legacy data files and their current formats
- Use text encoding tools to detect and convert character encodings (e.g. Latin-1 to UTF-8)
- Use the JSON Formatter to structure and validate converted JSON data
- Use the CSV/TSV conversion tools to standardize delimiter-separated data
- Validate converted data against the target system's schema requirements
- Run test imports with a subset of converted data before full migration
- Archive original files for rollback capability
