I carried out a similar project to this several years ago.

The existing warehouse had a feed from the mainframe which was uploaded nightly.
This was duplicated so that it was also loaded into the new system
(which was precreated with empty objects). Both systems ran
concurrently for a month, with the new data being loaded into both
systems. During this time we migrated the historical (non volatile
data).

At the end of the month, the two databases were logically in synch
leading to a very short downtime for migration.
