Say Goodbye to Manual Code Conversion with Datametica’s Raven!

The majority of modern businesses are data-driven and operate around the clock. When moving such huge volumes of data to the Cloud, entities like objects, data, and the overall orchestration are migrated as well. It is natural for businesses to be anxious while migrating their sensitive and valuable data or while decommissioning their legacy systems. All of these entities exist in vast quantities, so the code translation to the target platform must be well-established and frictionless to prevent data loss.

Traditional techniques of transferring massive amounts of data are time-consuming and require an army of people to handle the process—depending on the complexity, table relations, active tables, and many other factors. Moreover, people with different professional experience are involved in the migration process, often resulting in the loss in the standardization of migration instructions, thereby affecting the entire solution. Additionally, one cannot ignore the probability of code duplication and the requirements for massive network bandwidth and storage with such methods.

Enter Datametica’s Raven

Migrating a gargantuan volume of code to the cloud is a challenging process and doing this manually can result in logical and syntactical errors. Datametica’s Raven, the automated transpiler tool, overcomes these challenges.

⚠️ [NEWS] Raven will be available for users on the Google Cloud Platform Marketplace from 1st March 2023!

The algorithm implemented in the Raven engine generates code in a predefined pattern, making it easier to debug and maintain the code. The SQL conversion process shortens the migration cycle, and proportionately, the cost of migration. Raven’s code conversion-as-a-service resolves any discrepancies in the converted code until it runs error-free in the target environment. With decades of experience using Raven for multiple migration projects, we’re proud to say that Raven handles 100% of code conversion! The code is then optimized for improved performance.

There are many reasons to choose Raven

The best part is that the code conversion is done without connecting to the target environment. Yes, you read that right! Raven simply requires the script and offline conversion is performed without actual data exposure. The translated code is free of syntax errors and is shared with the target. This means that there are no concerns regarding data security with Raven. And to top all of that, Raven has a self-learning engine that is intelligent enough to learn from its previous experiences.

Raven not only provides SQL conversion but also provides conversion of complex files such as KSH and B-TEQ  (Tera-data files for shell scripting). It supports end-to-end ETL conversion as well as orchestration layer conversion. If you want to dive into the nitty-gritty, Raven additionally offers workaround SQL clauses and recreates custom code for commonly used logic. Raven can translate and handle embedded SQL, incomplete SQL statements, and highly parameterized SQL code. It also allows DDL definitions for macros, stored procedures, view definitions, utility materialized view definitions, etc.

Raven never compromises the business logic of legacy system code and offers a high level of customization based on client architectural preferences, such as applying certain rules throughout conversions, handling specific objects, etc. – and all of this can be performed on the fly.

Datametica’s Raven maximizes the amount of code that can be converted by facilitating the conversion of various forms of support across legacy systems. In addition, Raven automates the transformation of code to the cloud and enhances synchronization with the target

It’s time to elevate your migration journey

The code conversion phase of the data migration was never easy–it requires ardent effort and time, and can be very expensive–until now. Datametica’s Raven has helped many organizations streamline and automate the code migration stage, thus, making it faster. It also provides greater accuracy by minimizing the risks. And all this at a more competitive cost. What more can you ask for?!
