Real-time birth, death, marriage and divorce WDQS
2005-2007 project involving NH DVRA/NCHS/Constella partnership

4. NHVRINweb Development 3 part development
Presentation layer
Database layer
ETL Tool
Extraction, Translation (into IJE format) and Load (into an ODS)
Scripting Engine
Viewer for viewing IJE data
Dovetails nicely with STEVE
5. NHVRINweb Development ETL tool as originally specified was derailed due to problematic DBA
NH ETL tool was developed specifically for Oracle DB
Could be shared, but presently tailored to NH Oracle database
Time consuming to further modify for useful software tool
6. Current State Issues Multiple Source Database Platforms
Oracle, MySQL, SQL Server, PostgreSQL
Varying Source Database Designs
Complex & limited sharing of crosswalk and transformation data and code
7. ETL Application
8. Components & Features Embedded Database
Transformation data & crosswalks
Transformation data management
Import & Export
Provides support for sharing and maintaining transformation data
9. Components & Features Scripting Engine
Transparent
Easy code sharing
Not a black box
Full featured C# language
Libraries for accessing, managing & validating IJE formatted data
Colocated reference information is used to verify that translation worked correctly
10. Components & Features Management UI
Scheduling
Connection management
Rule & crosswalk editing
Reporting & Logging
11. Thats Nice; but Where Do We Go From Here? Piggy-back on work already done
Generic version ETL is 1/3 to 1/2 done
Estimated 1-3 months to complete development
Need test environments at several states $13,000 - $40,000 with current contract NH has with developer$13,000 - $40,000 with current contract NH has with developer
12. Thats Nice; but Where Do We Go From Here? Options for Integration Based on Registration Areas Level of Comfort:
Use local IT staff to integrate and maintain ETL
Use developer to integrate tool and local IT staff can maintain
Use developer to integrate and maintain
13. Thats Nice; but Where Do We Go From Here? Likely savings in level of effort if states with similar software are able to partner with ETL configuration
Single ETL will benefit ease of incorporating future IJE modifications
Ancillary Benefit WDQS ?
Once you are collecting and reporting data in near real-time, you may want to integrate a real-time WDQS (development already done)Once you are collecting and reporting data in near real-time, you may want to integrate a real-time WDQS (development already done)
14. Thats Nice; but Where Do We Go From Here? Investigate Alternatives
Registration areas already report an IJE-Lite file to NCHS
Registration area may be able to use DTS tools that SQL Server provides
Registration area may use current EBR/EDR software developer to further develop output files Data Transformation Services.
