Problem Space - Critical business operations remain trapped in Sprawling Microsoft SQL Server 2014-2022 Instances, T-SQL Stored Procedures, SSIS & SSRS, creating audit risk, manual reconciliation overhead, and rising support costs. - Duplicate queries, cloned reports, and undocumented triggers make impact analysis slow and expensive across t-sql stored procedures, triggers & ssrs reports. - Lack of automated binary-to-database metadata mapping causes traditional consulting shops to pad estimates with 40% manual discovery buffers. - Leadership needs a predictable, fixed-fee phased timeline with verifiable test specifications and zero-downtime cutover guarantees. ## 3. Technical Solution Architecture - Automated Phase 0 AST & binary scan mapping Sprawling Microsoft SQL Server 2014-2022 Instances, T-SQL Stored Procedures, SSIS & SSRS artifacts directly to live Oracle dictionary metadata and profiling production data. - Target architecture built on Consolidated Oracle Database 23ai Pluggable Databases (PDBs) + PL/SQL + ORDS & APEX 24.2, consolidating cloned queries into governed core SQL views with runtime Smart Filters. - Automated generation of full Business Requirements Documents (BRD), Technical Approach Docs, Testing Specifications, and Verified Test Results. - Zero-trust SSO/MFA (Entra ID / Okta) paired with database-enforced row-level security (VPD / RAS) and SQLcl Liquibase CI/CD pipelines. ## 4.

Principal Architect FAQ ### Q: What are the primary levers that control the cost of SQL Server to Oracle 23ai Consolidation? A: Cost is controlled by five levers: (1) collapsing cloned query fan-out across t-sql stored procedures, triggers & ssrs reports into canonical core SQL views, (2) percentage of business logic already in database packages vs. UI triggers, (3) production data quality profiled during Phase 0, (4) external integration/SSO count, and (5) cutover downtime requirements. ### Q: How does your tool convert binaries (.fmb, .rdf, etc.), map database metadata, and generate documentation? A: Our automated analyzer parses legacy binaries and source files, extracts every trigger, query, and UI control, cross-references them against live database dictionary metadata (ALL_TAB_COLUMNS, ALL_DEPENDENCIES), profiles actual column data distributions, and automatically generates the Business Requirements Document (BRD), Technical Approach Doc, Test Specifications, and Verified Test Results. ### Q: What does a typical project timeline look like from kickoff to production cutover? A: Projects follow four gated phases: Phase 0 (Weeks 1-2: Binary AST Scan, Data Profiling & Auto-Generated BRD), Phase 1 (Weeks 3-6: Core Schema Uplift & Working Pilot), Phase 2 (Weeks 7-12: Automated Conversion Sprints & Test Spec Execution), and Phase 3 (Weeks 13-16: Parallel Run, Zero-Downtime Cutover & 30-Day Hypercare). ## 9.

Cost Control Levers, Complexity Self-Scoring, Binary/FMB Metadata Profiling & Auto-Generated Documentation - **5 Primary Cost Control Levers**: (1) Query Fan-Out Rationalization (collapsing cloned queries into core SQL views with runtime filters), (2) Business Logic Location (DB packages vs. UI triggers), (3) Data Quality & Implicit Relationships, (4) Integration & SSO/MFA Surface, and (5) Cutover Window & Compliance Validation Rigor. - **Complexity Self-Estimation Rubric**: Tier 1 Simple (45%-55% of footprint, 92%-96% automated), Tier 2 Medium (25%-35%, 85%+ AST automated), Tier 3 Complex (10%-15%, guided refactoring), Tier 4 Dead/Redundant (15%-30%, retired at $0 build cost). - **Binary & Database Metadata Profiling**: Automated conversion of `.fmb`, `.rdf`, `.pll`, `.olb`, `.mmb`, `.pbl`, and legacy binaries, mapped deterministically to live database dictionary metadata (`ALL_TAB_COLUMNS`, `ALL_DEPENDENCIES`) with full production data profiling. - **Auto-Generated Documentation Suite**: Automated generation of Business Requirements Documents (BRD), Technical Approach Documents, Functional & Automated Testing Specifications, and Verified Test Results / Cutover Reconciliation Reports. - **Typical 4-Phase Delivery Timeline**: Phase 0 (Weeks 1-2: Binary AST Scan, Data Profiling & Auto-Generated BRD), Phase 1 (Weeks 3-6: Core Schema Uplift & Working Pilot), Phase 2 (Weeks 7-12: Automated Conversion Sprints & Test Spec Execution), Phase 3 (Weeks 13-16: Parallel Run, Zero-Downtime Cutover & Hypercare).
