- CAT follows a methodology of running early and often; meaning getting in as many mock data conversions as possible within the upgrade process.
- Each time you run a data conversion, you learn something new, which can only be accomplished through repetition.
- The tools we employ to do this are a combination of CAT’s database analyzer, CAT-M, and the conversion toolkit.
- In any upgrade there are times that you have data failures and must restart the conversion process.
- CAT’s tools allow for real-time monitoring and recovery checkpoints, so you don’t have to start over from scratch.
- We utilize our comparison tool kit to ensure your environments are in sync by comparing such things as UDCs, processing option values, menus, and UBE data selection and sequencing.
- Our goal is to meet your go-live window (typically over a weekend).
Bridge the migration gap with CAT-M
The E1 Migration Journey
Go-Live Window Performance
Achieve full data migration in one weekend with our CAT-M migration tool allowing you to reclaim valuable hours from your migration timeline, allowing you to concentrate on your work instead of the data transfer.
Database Neutral
Don't be chained to incompatible databases! CAT-M lets you migrate your data seamlessly to the platform that best suits your needs, whether it's the db2 400, MS SQL, or Oracle databases. That's freedom to migrate.
Integrated Post Migration
No more juggling in post-migration tasks. CAT-M integrates them into the process, simplifying the lives of CNC admins by streamlining workflows and providing centralized control. One-Stop Solution for CNC Admins!
Real-Time Monitoring
Don't wait for the finish line to discover errors! CAT-M's real-time monitoring system keeps you informed every step of the way. Monitor for errors during runtime rather than after the conversion is finished.
Conversion Progress
No more staring at a spinning progress bar, wondering if your migration is still performing well or not! CAT-M's visual progress tracking keeps you in the loop and gives you clear progress updates in real-time.
Checkpoint Recovery
Imagine having a safety net during your migration journey. Our CAT-M checkpoint recovery system allows you to resume from where you left off in case of issues. No need to start from scratch saving time and effort.
- If you have any custom or modified objects, you are well aware of the fact, those objects must be retrofitted into the upgraded code base. This presents a number of concerns during the upgrade process.
- Have you accounted for all of the custom or modified objects?
- How will you document those objects?
- CAT uses our object analysis tool to ensure that only the required objects are being retrofitted for the upgrade.
- We also use our CAT-DOC tool to document the changes made during the retrofit activities, giving you a before & after look.
- Only the best upgrade methodologies include specific and precise steps to ensure testing readiness.
- CAT’s comparison tool kit ensures your environments are always in sync.
- The CAT-DOC tool allows you to document the technical functionality of every object within JDE.
- Every upgrade project must follow a set of rules or methodology to ensure success.
- CAT’s upgrade methodology pays close attention to the data conversion process.
- We have a step-by-step listing of all procedures, activities, and data manipulations that must occur during the conversion process.
- We call this our mock go-live checklist.
CAT’s key components for a successful software migration are:
Thorough Planning
A comprehensive plan outlining the entire migration process is crucial. This plan should include a timeline, resource allocation, potential risks, contingency measures, and communication strategies.
Testing and Validation
Thorough testing in a controlled environment is essential to identify and mitigate any potential issues before the migration is deployed to the production environment. This includes unit testing, integration testing, system testing, and user acceptance testing.
Backup and Recovery Strategy
A robust backup and recovery strategy should be in place to ensure that data integrity is maintained throughout the migration process. This includes backing up both the application data and the underlying infrastructure configurations.
Risk Management
Identify potential risks associated with the migration, such as system downtime, data loss, or compatibility issues, and develop mitigation strategies to address them. This may involve implementing rollback procedures, having redundant systems in place, or scheduling the migration during off-peak hours.
Communication and Training
Effective communication is essential to keep all stakeholders informed about the migration process, including users, management, and IT staff. Additionally, providing adequate training to users on any new features or changes introduced by the migration can help minimize disruptions and maximize adoption.
Support and Monitoring
After the migration is complete, ongoing support and monitoring are necessary to address any issues that may arise and ensure that the system continues to perform optimally. This includes monitoring system performance, responding to user feedback, and applying any necessary patches or updates.
