used for data transformation and validation. Data representation is performed with reports developed using
QlikView/Tableau.
All the schedule job has executed using the custom tool Transformation Enterprise Manager (TEM). Multiple job of
different technologies has created with interdependency priority order and executed in as either adhoc job or scheduled
job.
In Data De-Id, masking the sensitive data belongs PII, SPII when data move form Data Lake to Data Warehouse or
Data Mart.
Using Data Flow Change Orchestration, the data lifecycle is controlled from landing unstructured sources to end-user
delivery or downstream provisioning. It issues commands to each application to trigger processes and, based on the
current status, provides an audit trail of the data processing lifecycle. This includes information on whether the process
is completed, failed, or pending at a specific component.
