Challenge Overview
The system is a batch process that retrieves part numbers from input files, applies transformations to the numbers based on a set of business rules and reference data contained in a database, and then writes the transformed part numbers to output files. The process runs daily.
The goal of this project is to rewrite the current FB0864 Forward Flip Outbound Feeds to be:
- Have clear and well organized documentation
- Well partitioned set of maintainable business rules
- Summarized by a flow diagram in PowerPoint
- Supportable
- Non-redundant
- Written in Perl component(s)
The attached files provides the current codebase, and an excel spreadsheet containing the schema for the data used in reference and translation.
