Going live with Production data in Hana Production / Cognos Production / Tableau Production this weekend for FINAH-UCSDGeneralLedger-View.

Data will be reloaded from Oracle Production daily between 6:30am-6:31am.

Later release will include sub-ledger information.

List of planned FINAH views here: /wiki/spaces/AH/pages/12487881

• Must be an Oracle BI user with at least the UCSD BI Consumer JR role.  See details here: /wiki/spaces/FinAH/pages/53609469 and then email busintel@ucsd.edu to request being a FINAH Developer.
• Working with FIS to automate the access process so that FINAH access is incorporated into their Oracle BI Access request form.

Do you all want Hana Test to have Oracle Test data or Oracle Production data?

• Hana Test with Oracle Test data means you can go into Oracle Test and change data and then see those changes in Hana QA the next day.
• Hana Test with Oracle Prod data means you can do any UAT against Hana Prod data.

Will send out survey to see how the community votes.

With the success of the RAH go live and EAH go live, we are disappointed to be behind schedule with FINAH.  After consideration of year end close in IFIS, current stabilization of Oracle and remaining work needed to release the Financial Activity Hub, we estimate that the first wave of Financial Activity Hub will be launched on August 15, 2020.

Our goal is to go live with Wave 1 on August 15th with General Ledger and Advancement (STAR report) data in FINAH and Wave 2 on August 31st with PPM and Budget data.

User acceptance testing (UAT) started on July 9th with a small set of Beta Testers. As part of UAT we are gaining clarity on the needs around Budget data, Account Receivable (AR) and Accounts Payable (AP).  As FINAH development progresses we'll be able to include more users in UAT so that report development can being prior to go live.

Optional Cognos and Tableau training with FINAH data starts July 29 and extends through September 17.  Oracle access with a role of UCSD BI Consumer JR is a per-requsite to signing up for the Cognos / Tableau training.

• Users as assuming they have access and clicking on report
• Cognos error message and redirect is confusing
• Having to fill out the form multiple times to just get DOPE report is confusing.
