Sample ETL Process Flow
 ETL Process
The ETL Process having the following basic steps

• Is mapping the data between source systems

and target database

• Is cleansing of source data in staging area

• Is transforming cleansed source data and then

loading into the target system
• Source System
A database, application, file, or other storage facility from
which the data in a data warehouse is derived.
• Mapping
The definition of the relationship and data flow between
source and target objects.
• Staging Area
A place where data is processed before entering the
warehouse.
• Cleansing
The process of resolving inconsistencies and fixing the
anomalies in source data, typically as part of the ETL
process.
• Transformation
The process of manipulating data. Any
manipulation beyond copying is a transformation.
Examples include cleansing, aggregating, and
integrating data from multiple sources.
• Transportation
The process of moving copied or transformed data
