A system and method is described for event-driven data transformation.
Generally, the system and method is directed to a transformation engine
that iterates through one or more data sources, transforms data received
from the data sources, and stores the output to one or more data targets.
More specifically, the transformation engine is driven by executing
specified event actions upon occurrence of specified triggering events.
Thus, flexible, adaptable, highly tailored transformations can be
implemented without incurring the often substantial expense of developing
customized point-to-point solutions from scratch. The present invention
supports one-to-one, mappings, many-to-one mappings, one-to-many mappings,
and many-to-many mappings. In addition, the present invention supports
both hierarchical and flat data sources and targets.
