Data extraction process

In your organization, assume that customer names and addresses are maintained in three customer files supporting three different source operational systems.

Describe the possible entity identification problem you are likely to face when you consolidate the customer records from the three files. Write a procedure outlining how you propose to resolve the problem.

Your project team has decided to use the system logs for capturing the updates from the source operational systems. You have to extract data for the incremental loads from four operational systems all running on relational databases. These are four types of sales applications. You need data to update the sales data in the data warehouse. Make assumptions and describe the data extraction process.
