Renaming and Deprecating

As we've adapted the AH 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. 

MONTH #1 ANNOUNCEMENT:  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.  ITS-BIA will allow a transition period for report developers to repoint their reports at the new fields / views.

MONTH #2 SET TO NULL: 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.

MONTH #3 REMOVE:  ITS-BIA will deprecate the fields / views.  Any reports the have not transitioned by this point will break.


We'll be using this strategy for the following deprecation of Student Legal Name fields.

Epic: SAHE-3391 - Getting issue details... STATUS

SET TO NULL: The following fields will be set to null from the below Column Groups

  • Student Legal Full Name replaced by Student Full Name
  • Student Legal First Name replaced by Student First Name
  • Student Legal Last Name replaced by Student Last Name
  • Student Legal Middle Name replaced by Student Middle Name

Impacted Column Groups

  • SAH Demographics SIS Student Demographics
  • SAH Student Stats Per Term Master
  • SAH Demographics Integration Redrock
  • SAH Student Identity Access Management
  • SAH Student Identity Access Management Delta


New View going to UAT: SAH-WaitlistAudit-View

BIA, in conjunction with the Registrar's Office, is excited to release the SAH-WaitlistAudit-View.  This new view is a combination of elements form SAH-Demographics, SAH-StudentStatsPerTerm-View and Waitlist change dates.  The SAH-WaitlistAudit-View will allow the Registrar's Office greater insight into changes made to the Waitlist and will support the report rebuilding efforts of the SIS Reporting Project. 

Per our standard process, this view will be released to UAT in May and go to Production in June.

Epic: SAHE-2571 - Getting issue details... STATUS

This view will update nightly and should not be used for same-day decisions as the waitlist changes can occur throughout the day just prior to the start of a term and during the first few weeks of a term. Waitlist information is captured every day of the year.

This view is intended for analysis of waitlist per course historically.  The historical data found in ISIS can be found in this view.

Added the following fields:

  • All fields from SAH-Demographics
  • All fields from SAH-StudentStatsPerTerm
  • Course Level
  • Course Number
  • Course Subject Code
  • Course Title
  • Student Added to Class Section Waitlist Date Current
  • Student On Class Section Waitlist Count Current
  • Student On Class Section Waitlist Flag Current 
  • Student Position On Class Section Waitlist Current
  • Student Previously On Class Section Waitlist Count Current
  • Student Previously On Class Section Waitlist Flag Current
  • Student Removed from Class Section Waitlist Date Current

Customer Service Reminder

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.

A duty cycle has been implemented for Hana QA.  During this time, Hana QA will not be available.  Please schedule your UAT work around this duty cycle.

  • Hana QA will not be available from 7pm-5am nightly
  • Hana QA will not be available Saturday and Sunday
  • Data loads will occur from 5am-10am on weekdays

Follow our Enhancement Testing Steps

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?
