2. Why Data Repository Traditional Standard Databases
Demonstration Database
Represents Real World Scenarios
Needs To Be Concise
Baseline Database
Starting Point To Build User Databases
Needs To Be Robust

3. Why Data Repository Upgrade Old Version Database To Current Release
Upgrade Procedure Upgrades Format Only
New Data Given Default Values To Mimic Old Functionality
Re-use Previously Developed Scenarios
Use Portions Of Existing Scenarios
Same Own-Side Force / New OPFOR Force
Multi-Regions Conflict Modeling
Merge Single Region Scenarios Into One Database

4. Data Repository System (DRS)
An Enhancement To DDS
Migrate Data from Source to Destination Database
Examples Of Use
Scenario Repository
Source: Scenario STARTEX Database
Destination: Scenario Repository
Upgrade Data In Existing Scenario
Source: JTLS Data Repository
Destination: Your Scenario Database

5. Data Repository System (DRS)
An Enhancement To DDS
Examples Of Use (Con’t)
New Scenario
Source: Scenario Repository
Destination: Scenario Database
Pick What Is Needed
Use OPFOR From Scenario 1,
Use Portion of Own Forces From Scenario 2,
Use Portion of Own Forces From Scenario 3.

6. Data Repository System (DRS)
DRS Consists Of Three Parts
Tool That Configures DDS For Data Migration
Option Added To DCP
Tool That Migrates The Data
Expanded Glassfish Server For Source Database
New Data Migration Tool For Source DDS-Client

7. Data Repository System (DRS)
Configuring DDS For Data Migration
New DDS Configuration Program (DCP) Capability
Setup In Source Database
Specify Allowable Destination Domains (Scenarios)
Tools Menu -> Set Destination Domains
Specify Specific Allowed Destination Scenarios (Need Similar Parametric Data)
Prepares Source Glassfish Server
Specify Which DDS Clients (DDSC) Migration Roles
Which DDSC Can Use Migration Tool

9. Data Repository System (DRS)
Using DDSC To Migrate Data (Con’t)
Migrate Following Migration Rules
Assumed Copy Unit A From Source To Destination
Unit A’s Initial Support Unit Not In Destination
If Reference Does Not Exist In Destination Set To NULL
Initial Support Unit Set To NULL
If Reference Does Not Exist In Destination Skip Insert
Unit A Not Copied

10. Data Repository System (DRS)
Using DDSC To Migrate Data (Con’t)
Currently:
There Are Approximately 15 Different Rule Types
Rules Established By JTLS-GO DDS Design Team
Can Be Changed Manually – But Not Well Documented
Eventually – Full Interface To Establish Rules

11. Current And Future Improvements
Post-Batch Processing
Example:
After All Units Moved
Go Back And “Repair” Fields Set To NULL
For Example: Try And Reset “Initial Support Unit”
Any Table Migration
Currently Start From ORBAT Only
Allow Migration From Any Table

12. Current And Future Improvements
Synchronize Data
Go To A Table – Synchronize
Highlights Differences
Use Can Decide To Change or Not Change
More User Friendly Result Listing
Migration Rule Editing Capability

13. Conclusions There Is Still Massive Amounts Of Work
The Glassfish Infra-Structure
Well Defined
Flexible
From Here It Is Simply: “DO IT”
