Keep up with our future enhancements here: RAH Bugs and Enhancements In Progress
Subaward Data Added to RAH - Provide Feedback Now
We are excited to announce the most recent data added to RAH is focused on subaward data. This data will give fund managers access to all outgoing subawards, including detailed information on obligated amounts and invoiced amounts. Using this information, fund managers will have a larger picture into their fund management and planning portfolio.
Report developers can choose from RAH-Subaward-View and RAH-SubawardInvoice-View when creating their Subaward reports.
Completion of Research Activity Hub Restructuring
The primary purpose of using Activity Hubs is to blend information across hubs. The original release of Kuali data was a basic "lift and shift", which caused delays in delivering on our blending promise and slowed the performance of Kuali reports. With today's release of RAH-PD-View and RAH-PDDetail-View we are completing our move of the Kuali data into our standard Activity Hub table structure.
The field names are all the same so those of you with reports using Research Administration - Developer Package - PD - KUALI can now repoint at the new RAH-PDDetail-View or RAH-PD-View Cognos package / Tableau data source in order to move forward.

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.
Follow our Enhancement Testing Steps
- 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 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 Production data.
- Hana QA: SAH data in Hana QA is production data loaded daily, just like in Hana PROD.
