Abstract

Claims (67)

1. A method for converting a data integration job from a source framework to a target framework, the method comprising:

receiving a request to convert a first data integration job of a first framework to a second data integration job of a second framework, the first data integration job comprising a plurality of job components, wherein each job component performs an assigned task as part of the first data integration job;

in response to the request, determining that a corresponding component in the second framework that corresponds to a job component of the plurality of job components in the first data integration job is not available in a job definition model for the second framework;

flagging the job component for review;

in response to flagging the job component for review, receiving a specification of a target component of the second framework corresponding to the job component;

generating a converted component based on the target component of the second framework;

adding the converted component to the second data integration job; and

storing the second data integration job in a data store.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, upon flagging the job component for review:

presenting the job component via an application.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating the converted component based on the target component comprises:

identifying one or more conversion rules associated with the corresponding component; and

applying the identified one or more conversion rules to the corresponding component.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the job definition model translates the first framework to the second framework.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request includes a file corresponding to the first data integration job, metadata describing the first framework, and a specification of the second framework.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

presenting the second data integration job via a graphical user interface;

receiving a selection of one or more modifications to at least a first component in the second data integration job; and

converting the at least the first component based on the one or more modifications.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating the converted component based on the target component comprises:

populating parameters from the job component of the first data integration job in the converted component.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a policy conversion rule for the second framework applies to the job component;

identifying, based on the policy conversion rule, an alternate component of the second framework; and

adding the alternate component to the second data integration job.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the alternate component maintains parameters of the job component.

10. A computer-readable storage medium storing instructions, which, when executed on a processor, performs an operation for converting a data integration job from a source framework to a target framework, the operation comprising:

receiving a request to convert a first data integration job of a first framework to a second data integration job of a second framework, the first data integration job comprising a plurality of job components, wherein each job component performs an assigned task as part of the first data integration job;

in response to the request, determining that a corresponding component in the second framework that corresponds to a job component of the plurality of job components in the first data integration job is not available in a job definition model for the second framework;

flagging the job component for review;

in response to flagging the job component for review, receiving a specification of a target component of the second framework corresponding to the job component;

generating a converted component based on the target component of the second framework;

adding the converted component to the second data integration job; and

storing the second data integration job in a data store.

11. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the operation further comprises, upon flagging the job component for review:

presenting the job component via an application.

12. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein generating the converted component based on the target component comprises:

identifying one or more conversion rules associated with the target component; and

applying the identified one or more conversion rules to the target component.

13. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the request includes a file corresponding to the first data integration job, metadata describing the first framework, and a specification of the second framework.

14. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the operation further comprises:

presenting the second data integration job via a graphical user interface;

receiving a selection of one or more modifications to at least a first component in the second data integration job; and

converting the at least the first component based on the one or more modifications.

15. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein generating the converted component based on the target component comprises:

populating parameters from the job component of the first data integration job in the converted component.

16. A system, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory storing program code, which, when executed on the processor, performs an operation for converting a data integration job from a source framework to a target framework, the operation comprising:

receiving a request to convert a first data integration job of a first framework to a second data integration job of a second framework, the first data integration job comprising a plurality of job components, wherein each job component performs an assigned task as part of the first data integration job;

in response to the request, determining that a corresponding component in the second framework that corresponds to a job component of the plurality of job components in the first data integration job is not available in a job definition model for the second framework;

flagging the job component for review;

in response to flagging the job component for review, receiving a specification of a target component of the second framework corresponding to the job component;

generating a converted component based on the target component of the second framework;

adding the converted component to the second data integration job; and

storing the second data integration job in a data store.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the operation further comprises, upon flagging the job component for review:

presenting the job component via an application.

18. The system of claim 16 , wherein generating the converted component based on the target component comprises:

identifying one or more conversion rules associated with the target component; and

applying the identified one or more conversion rules to the target component.

19. The system of claim 16 , wherein the operation further comprises:

presenting the second data integration job via a graphical user interface;

receiving a selection of one or more modifications to at least a first component in the second data integration job; and

converting the at least the first component based on the one or more modifications.

20. The system of claim 16 , wherein generating the converted component based on the target component comprises:

populating parameters from the job component of the first data integration job in the converted component.
