Each Data migration job (ETL job) consists of component steps as explained bellow:

1. Extract data from source to staging area (Oracle DB)
2. Validate the data (as defined in Technical Design Document (TDD)) by applying variety of transforms and place in staging area (Oracle DB)
3. Apply mappings and format structure (to the validated data) to match SAP interface (BAPI/RFC) and place in the staging area (Oracle DB)
4. Load (validated, mapped and formatted) data using SAP interface (BAPI/RFC) which loads data further to SAP
