Subject: FINAH enhancements - UAT available - due June 9

Hello FINAH Developers - The below fields are now available for you in UAT.  If you find an issue, please email busintel@ucsd.edu right away with the subject line “FINAH UAT due June 9” so we can address it prior to the Thursday, June 10 release to Production. 

Renaming & Deprecating:

As we've adapted the FINAH 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 new strategy on the following items that require name changes:

  • CBO Account Hierarchy fields will be replaced by Managerial Reporting Account Hierarchy
  • CBO Fund Hierarchy fields will be replaced by Managerial Reporting Fund Hierarchy

  • Expenditure ID will be replaced by Transaction Number

  • Contract Sponsor LOC Number will be replaced by Award Sponsor LOC Number

  • Contract Sponsor Is Federal Flag will be replaced by Award Sponsor Is Federal Flag

  • Contract Sponsor Is Federal Count will be replaced by Award Sponsor Is Federal Count

  • FINAH-Task-View will be replaced by FINAH-ProjectCosts-View

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 test the new enhancements:

  • Cognos: Use the packages in Cognos DEV > Financial Activity Hub > Financial 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 Oracle 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 Oracle Production data.
  • Hana QA:  FINAH data in Hana QA is production Oracle 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? 

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