Hello, community.
Recently I've had a requirement in which the client's new app (the one we are finishing up on) will have to integrate the previous app stored data, which is a multi level paradigm of hierarchical business concepts (eg: car, part, booking, measurements, hardware, testing results). The client will provide several XML files and is not really clear on the data model hierarchy since there are new business concepts/atribute as well as old deprecated ones. Just mentions he wants to have a separate tab for this historical data.
My proposed solution (And this is where I would like your input on the best practices to be followed):
- Use XMLTOJson component to generate structures for the integration.
- Create a timer and store the data on NEW entities, dedicated to this historical data framework
- Use previous pages/web blocks to show the data
What do you think?
