Prerequisites

A SQL Server instance with adequate disk space for data and transaction logs

The disk space requirements depend on the size of the snapshots and the number of snapshots that will be retained. The size of the snapshots in turn depends on the number and size of the source Ad Manager databases and the cut-off date of the snapshot. Since it's hard to know the disk space requirements in advance it would be best to use dynamic disks that can be expanded as required. Ideally the SQL server machine will have a dedicated partition for data and a dedicated partition for transaction logs.

A machine to run the data pump on

The data pump requires network access to both the source Ad Manager database server(s) and the data warehouse server.

This could be the data warehouse server itself.

Install the data pump

Create the data warehouse database

Configure the data pump

Schedule the execution of the data pump

Monitor the data warehouse

Examine the data pump logs

Examine the data

Monitor disk space
