ChainSys Approach

Upon signing into the ChainSys Mass Data Loading tool, users can connect to file shares where CSV or Excel files are stored. Users then create a Loader and map the CSV or Excel files to the Loader through a drag-and-drop interface. In addition to the target system constraints, users can configure business rules to validate or transform data prior to loading to the target.

During execution, each loader will perform pre-validation against business rules configured in advance. Any validation failures can be fixed and re-submitted to the pre-validation engine. After pre-validation and data fixes are complete, the loader will execute the load against the target system. Successes and failures returned by the target system are also logged.
