Purpose

Lift and Shift is the process of moving data from one environment to another before go live. Data is typically moved from a non-production environment to a production environment.

Typically, data is moved into a non-production environment via the Data Conversion tool which is used as a way to import data files created from your legacy systems, validate the data, and load it into Merchandising tables for validation. The tool supports iterative conversion – loading data from each department or region, for example – to allow for validation and correction of legacy programs in various mock conversion runs leading up to the final cutover. At the point in time that a final cutover occurs, the data in the non-production environment being used to do this data load, validation, and verification is promoted to production.

This document outlines what to do and what information needs to be provided in the SR to schedule a Lift and Shift activity with the Oracle Retail Cloud Operations team.

NOTE 1 :

  • Before Lift and Shift can be performed as part of Go-Live (Dress rehearsals and pre go-live included) Oracle will prepare the target environment before data is moved from the source environment. Downtime is required for target environment preparation as well as the Lift and Shift activities.     

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

  • During dress rehearsal and go-live, the production instances are prepared for final cut over. During this process, MFCS schema is refreshed with converted data from a non-production instance. Some of the entities which are not part of data conversion are cleaned as a part of clean-up activity.

 

  • If the Target Environment is integrated with Oracle Retail DAS (Data Access Schema) via GoldenGate, customers are advised to stop the replicat on the Golden Gate customer-owned Target side before the activity begins. Oracle will provide a Full DAS Export upon request via a Service Request as described in Document 2991383.1.

 

NOTE 2 : Customers that are live in production, and need to refresh data from one environment to another non-prod environment, refer to (Doc ID 2236039.1) - How to Request an Environment Refresh for Retail Cloud Services.
