Data Flow Mapping for Legacy System Migration
The Complexity of mapping old database schemas to new structures
In the context of Legacy System Migration, understanding how data moves is not optional—it's critical. Yet, most teams rely on static Visio diagrams or outdated wiki pages to document these complex systems. The result? losing critical data during the transfer.
When the map doesn't match the territory, errors happen. For Legacy System Migration, these errors can be costly/catastrophic.
Why Static Maps Fail
Static documentation is dead the moment it's published.
- It doesn't reflect real-time changes.
- It cannot be filtered or queried.
- It relies on manual updates that nobody has time for.
The Solution: Dynamic Schema Mapping Network Graph
Datastripes introduces a "Living Documentation" approach. Instead of drawing boxes and arrows manually, you feed the system your logs, schemas, or transaction data. Datastripes visualizes the flow automatically.
Example: Legacy System Migration in Action
Imagine mapping your mapping old database schemas to new structures. With a Schema Mapping Network Graph, you can:
- Trace: Click on a data element to seeing its entire journey.
- Diagnose: Spot bottlenecks, breaks, or compliance violations instantly.
- Share: Give stakeholders an interactive link, not a static PDF.
The Outcome: ensure 100% data integrity
By switching to dynamic data flow mapping, you turn a passive documentation chore into an active intelligence tool. You stop guessing where the data went and start controlling it.
