Abstract
Approaches for data integration between multiple IT sources using automated data processing based on target metadata are provided. Specifically, an integration component is configured to load a mapped data set into a table with delta processing based on a configuration object containing, e.g., the source data location, target table name, and source to target mapping. The integration component uses the target metadata to validate data, identify changes, generate the necessary database programming language (e.g., structured query language (SQL)), and run the database programming language with data binding to perform the actual data updates. The integration component leverages the data target metadata to automate the processing of source data, thus providing a way to validate the data, and identify delta changes at the field level between the source and target. This significantly reduces the overall development effort, while providing consistency in record handling and error reporting.
