The data extraction flow

The steps involved in data extraction are:

  1. Manually export the legacy application data (user, roles, role assignments, permissions etc.) into a set of CSV files. The export is performed using legacy applications native tool sets.
  2. Copy the CSV data into the template Excel file (template provided with IRC PDE). IRC PDE then extracts the data from this Excel file.
  3. Alternatively, you can also use CSV files as input to IRC PDE. The input CSV files should be in a specified format. The CSV file templates are provided with the application.
  4. IRC PDE will process the Excel/CSV files and convert the extracted data to BIF XML files, which can be used by the IRC adapter for extraction.
