Logic Update for Census Views

Census views contain data from the start of each term through the census date of that term.  This allows report developers to create "snapshots" for each term.  Census views have partner views that contain data from the start of each term through the last date of each term, for example, SAH-StudentStatsPerTerm-View and SAH-StudentStatsPerTermCensus-View.  Reports built using census views are the keys to meeting UCOP, state and federal requirements.  In order to better support the report developers using Census views and the common filters they require, the filters have been added to the Census views directly during this release.

Filters that identify Enrolled & Registered students at Census will no longer be necessary when using Census views.  Reports already using those filters do not need to be updated at this point but those filter can be removed is desired.


Renaming and Deprecating

As we've adapted the SAH views to your needs, we have found changing field names is painful for both report developers and our team due to the name change breaking reports, data integrations and packages / data sources.  In an effort to avoid this pain, we are going to introduce a new name change strategy. 

  1. ITS-BIA will release new fields with the revised field name in the views that contain the field to be renamed, or where a view is to be renamed ITS-BIA will release as a new view the view with the revised name.

  2. ITS-BIA will allow a transition period for report developers to repoint their reports at the new fields / views.

  3. ITS-BIA will remove the data from the old fields / views and allow a second transition period.  This will not break the report but will highlight where the fields / views are still in use as they will become blank.

  4. ITS-BIA will deprecate the fields / views.  Any reports the have not transitioned by this point will break.

We'll be using this strategy on the following items that require name changes. 

March Step 1:  This release we are announcing the upcoming retirement of the following fields:

Customer Service Reminder

Warning

Data in UAT is not ready to be shared with end customers, is not considered completely validated and can change suddenly.  For optimal customer satisfaction, do not connect your production solutions to packages / data sources that are in UAT.  If you choose to share UAT items with end customer, be explicit that the data and report is in UAT and can change suddenly or be broken by UAT changes.


Follow our Enhancement Testing Steps

Tip
Use this UAT time to adjust your reports as needed prior to the Production release where your customers will be able to see any issues these enhancements cause. 
  • Cognos: Use the packages in Cognos DEV > Student Activity Hub > Student Activity Hub Packages UAT to build your report and select Hana QA.  Do not select Hana Prod as the report will fail.  Using Hana QA will allow you to see the below enhancements with Production data. 
  • Tableau: Sign into Tableau on your Tableau desktop tool and open your report.  Add a new data source with the same name and -QA at the end of the title.  Using this data source will allow you to see the below enhancements with Production data.
  • Hana QA:  SAH data in Hana QA is production data loaded daily, just like in Hana PROD.

If you find an issue, please include in your email to busintel@ucsd.edu the following:

  • What browser are you using?
  • What environment are you using?  Cognos DEV, QA or PROD?  Or Tableau?
  • What data source / package are you using?
  • What results were you expecting?
