Data validation method for legacy and modern databases
The patent US12045212B2 outlines a method for validating data across disparate databases, specifically focusing on a Pick database and a modern microservice database. The method operates in parallel with both database architectures, allowing for the retrieval and conversion of data from the Pick database, which is associated with a dealer management system. The process involves extracting raw data entries from the Pick database, converting them into an external format (such as XML), and then restructuring this data into a common format (like JSON). The corresponding data from the modern database is also converted to the common format, enabling a comparison that is agnostic to the type of business object being analyzed. This validation process ensures that the data between the Pick business object and the microservice business object is consistent, with provisions for updating the modern database if discrepancies are found.
Additionally, the patent describes a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium and a computing apparatus that execute the aforementioned method. These components are designed to monitor the Pick database for updates to various business objects, generating messages that indicate which specific object has been updated. The claims specify that the Pick business object can include various types, such as customer, employee, vendor, or financial institution objects. The architecture of the Pick database is integrated into a centralized dealer management system, while the modern database employs a microservice architecture, facilitating efficient data management and validation across different systems.
