Generic ETL Questionnaire

The document contains a questionnaire for gathering requirements for an ETL (extract, transform, load) project. It includes questions about the existing system, estimated needs for the new system, and operational details. Key points are: - The primary business requirement and users of the current system are identified. - Questions are asked about incremental data handling, projected data growth, and out-of-scope needs. - Details of the current ETL process, architecture, automation, and documentation are requested. - Estimation questions focus on aggregate tables needed, number of ETL routines/mappings, source systems, data sharing agreements, staging area design, extraction/loading methods, scheduling, and performance constraints.

What is the Primary Business Requirement of this system? Who are the Business Groups/ Users of the system? Any strategy in place to handle incremental data and SCD? What is the Projected growth of DWH? Pls specify 'out of scope' requirements Need client contacts for any clarifications

Questions on Existing System 7. 8. 9. Please explain the current process / methodology followed in the existing system Please explain the current ETL architecture with the breakup of Development servers, QA servers and Production servers Is the system fully automated or any kind of manual intervention required (Ex: during extraction, data load etc). How about the new system? Any documentation available related to the existing system? Please provide access to the same Any project prototyping done? If yes, give details Any problems with mappings and resolution or any architectural challenges Are there any known data quality issues? Are there any issues/bottlenecks related to the ETL Process? Please indicate the number of existing Informatica mappings Please indicate the complexity distribution of current ETL mappings Please indicate if the current ETL jobs are pulling data from the source applications or it is being pushed into Informatica What would be the approximate volume of the data in the database? What is the batch load window being used today
