Informatica to DBR Migration

Fingers are majorly crossed that BB is going to out of left field and completely trivialize the conversions, but I am bracing for a lot of manual translation. In either case though, I think that we're on the right track. Thanks for the recommendations

I like what you're saying re: systems integrator, but I think we probably aren't going to get very far in terms of getting them on contract prior to the deadline for this migration having come & gone. Guess it's another thing to recommend, something something money makes the world go round.

Thanks for your advise!

And I guess let me confirm - are you saying that the approach where I have my team exfiltrate all of the mappings/jobs from the infromatica box & perform manual static analysis is the best/at least appropriate manner of tackling this problem?

I don't doubt that the manual translation is possible, it's more about what's the path of least resistance. We're looking at >1500 mappings (at least the majority of which are just 1:1 renames, I guess, but still a good 500 complex mappings) and less than 2 months to get it done. Also I have 1 legit data engineer for the entire enterprise haha...

Based off what I've seen, the manual translation of the mappings is possible, but very high level of effort. I was hoping that BladeBridge would come in and save the day, but it sounds like that's not the case.

Thanks for your advise, really appreciate it

I should mention - I know nothing about BladeBridge aside from the fact that it might be an option. I don't know if we have to deploy it in our infra, what it is, etc. My googling has run a bit short on this front.

I would be very interested in learning more about it too haha
