Data Refresh Operator
A client refresh over the weekend – without anyone lifting a finger
Conventional refreshes mean weekend work. With DRO, the same process is defined once as a playbook – and then runs automatically, monitors itself and only gets in touch when something needs attention.
From Friday evening to handover
- Friday, 10 pm
Export starts on the production system
After close of business, the scheduled export begins with parallel workers – unattended.
- Overnight into Saturday
Export completes
SHA-256 checksums and the manifest safeguard integrity. If something goes wrong, DRO raises an alert immediately – instead of it only being noticed on Monday.
- Early Saturday
Automatic transfer to the target system
The export packages are transferred without manual copying, including a completeness check.
- Saturday
Users are informed
A system message in the target system announces the refresh, optionally with a pop-up for active users.
- Until the window
DRO waits for the downtime window
Whether an hour or a week later: the playbook pauses until the scheduled time and keeps everyone involved up to date.
- Start of downtime
Fully automated ramp-down
Jobs are suspended, users are logged off with advance warning and locked, interfaces are interrupted, number range levels are saved – extendable with your own steps.
- Downtime
Backup of user master records
DRO saves the users and authorisations of the target system for a clean restore after the import.
- Downtime
Import of the clients
Parallelised, validated against the manifest and resumable after interruptions – without starting again from scratch.
- Downtime
Customer-specific follow-up tasks
Reports, switchovers and corrections run as documented, repeatable playbook steps.
- Finally
Ramp-up and handover
Number range levels are reset, users unlocked, jobs scheduled – handed over in a controlled way and logged in full.
Live status instead of flying blind
Throughout the entire process, the control system shows the status of each step in real time. If you wish, DRO reports back after each completed step by email or messenger.
If something needs attention, the system gets in touch on its own – with context and the exact position in the process.
Conventional process and DRO playbook compared
| Conventional process | With DRO playbook |
|---|---|
| Start the export manually in the evening – and stay reachable | Scheduled to run at a set time, unattended |
| Check the status manually in between | Real-time status and automatic notifications |
| Copy files manually, keep an eye on disk space and paths | Transfer runs automatically |
| Write and send user notifications by hand | System message and optional pop-up, automated |
| Keep the downtime slot in mind, work at night and at weekends | DRO itself waits for the agreed window |
| Ramp-down: deactivate each component individually | Fully automated, with advance warning and number range backup |
| Manual user backup – if at all | A fixed part of the playbook |
| Start the import by hand and monitor the runtime | Automatic, parallel, validated and resumable |
| BDLS run after the import, often lasting hours | Not needed: logical system names are already replaced during the import |
| Follow-up tasks from a checklist – depending on how the day goes | Defined, repeatable playbook steps |
| Ramp-up step by step, with the risk of forgotten steps | Automatic reset and reactivation |
| Documentation afterwards – often incomplete | Logged in full, viewable in the control system at any time |
