With the second conversion completed, it's a good time to grab a breath and consider our next steps. Here are some of the things on our short-term to-do list.
- Fix errors found in the second conversion. We don't have too much to do here. Most conversions had a small number of errors and we were able to fix them as we went along. Exceptions are N4 (relations) and L1 (address ambiguities). These will take a little more time to fix, but we'd like them done before Conversion 3.
- Work on Report Writing. Todd and I started this towards the end of the first conversion, but then had to put this aside when we wiped out the first conversion environment, leaving us no data for testing our reports. Now that we have data in CA again, we are back at work on this. Our goal is to have at least a few tricky reports and computed columns identified before our pre-DUG Advanced Computed Columns workshop.
- Plan for Conversions 3 and 4. That's right, we expect 4 conversions. The third will start as soon as we have the errors identified in conversion 2 fixed, and the fourth will be about a month before our live date. The third will be to verify that we have fixed all the errors, and the fourth will be to simulate the live conversion - only during the week instead of on a weekend!
