As expected, lots of change requests and lots of mapping meetings are taking place this week.
My guess is that by December, the maximum number of change requests covered by the contract will be reached. But this is just my guess...

Day 202 - Firts Entity Migration Test Results
As expected, we did had a low error rate.
Overall, we got less than 1% of data that has been rejected, meaning that 99% of the data has been correctly migrated.
The numbers say it all, less than 6000 records rejected over 6 different types of errors.
We had the data slit into 11 files, to allow parallel loading, which took an average of 45 minutes each file.
The bad news is that the GIS loading procedure took, sequentially, 490 minutes and it hardly will be capable of loading more than 4 files at the same time.
As always, the next days will result on transformation rules change requests.

Day 199 - Firts Entity Migration Test
Today the entities, clients only, will be migrated for the first time for real.
The data transformation process itself is quite fast, less than 500000 records will be transformed in less than 30 minutes, but them we have to create structured files that gather all the transformed information into GIS the loading file format, and that will take around an hour.
I believe in a low error number from this first real client migration test, but the results will only be available Monday.

Day 182 - New Sponsor Team Member
Management has quickly replaced the mapping team member that left.
We performed a mapping session, and he knows well the source system from the technical side but knows less about the business and he cannot take decisions.
Some of the current sponsor mapping team members will attend these mapping sessions, they know the business and they can make decisions.
This seems enough to solve the problem.

Day 178 - Team Member Change
One of the critical sponsor mapping team member is going away.
She's changed jobs and that is a critical issue to the project, since she is one of the most knowledgeable sponsor people, she knows well the business and the source system, and she is one of the most active and pro-active people in the team.
The problem is that she's going away tomorrow.
Management has to do something about it quick.

Day 174 - Focus on Mapping
It seems that the entire sponsor team has come back from the holidays and we'll be able to perform the functional mapping faster.
If we don't start gaining some speed, the project will not comply with the plan and the project timings will slip.
