DBSi 5.0 Data Cleansing

Agenda Introduction Customer Information Special Characters & Validity Checks Sample Sequel Related documentation Questions

Introduction  There are special characters that either are not allowed or are used for specific purposes within the XMLI interface to CODA or CODA itself. Specific data fields in the Vendor and Customer conversions to CODA need to be validated to determine that none of these characters exist. Data validation and required “clean-up” must be performed prior to executing any data conversions.  Sequels have been created to perform the data validation and report any data issues. These sequels can be created from examples provided in the ‘DBS to 5.0 Data Cleansing Guidelines’ document in the DDP.
