Subject: EAH Enhancements - UAT Start - due March 17

Hello EAH Developers - We are excited to release the below Employee Activity Hub enhancements for you to test between now and end of day March 17.  If you find an issue, please email busintel@ucsd.edu with a subject line "EAH UAT due March 17" right away so we can address it prior to March 18.

Keep up with our future enhancements here: EAH Bugs and Enhancements In Progress

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.

How to perform User Acceptance Testing (UAT):

• In Cognos DEV open your report and replace the current package with the package of the same name from the Team Content > Employee Activity Hub > EAH Analytics Packages UAT folder.  Run the report and select Hana QA.  Do not select Hana Prod as the report will fail.  Using the new package from the EAH Analytics Packages UAT folder will allow you to see the below enhancement.  EAH data is the same in Hana Prod and Hana QA.
• Sign into Tableau Prod 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.  Replace the original data source with the –QA data source.  Using the –QA data source will allow you to see the below enhancements.  EAH data is the same in Hana Prod and Hana QA. 

Please use this UAT time to adjust your reports as needed prior to February 18 when your customers will be able to see any issues these enhancements cause. 

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? 
• What data source / package are you using?
• What results were you expecting?

Items marked with an asterisk (*) are report breaking enhancements if you have these fields in your report.
