Patent attributes
Described herein are techniques and mechanisms for migrating data in a flexible and platform-independent manner that does not require installation on a customer site to be executed. In some embodiments, a software tool may be written in a scripting language, which may be interpreted at run-time as opposed to requiring compilation beforehand. The tool may include multiple modules, where each module may be configured to perform one or more specific functions in accordance with the invention, and each module may be capable of receiving and outputting data in a flat-file format, for example, with comma-delimited values. The software tool may present a command-line interface (CLI) that enables a user to specify execution of one or more actions by entering commands on a command line.
