Hello SAH Developers - UAT has begun a day early so that we can migrated these enhancements to production prior to the Thanksgiving holiday. If you find an issue, please email busintel@ucsd.edu prior to end of day Tuesday, November 23 so we can address it before the Wednesday, November 24 release.

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

For access to the Student Activity Hub (SAH) you must be pre-approved by the registrar's office.  Please reach out to them directly.


Holiday Season

Given the upcoming holiday season, this will be the last SAH release for 2021.  We'll see you again in January 2022!

January 2022

With the addition of more Term, Term Cumulative and Current Cumulative fields we have identified that the original fields added to SAH would be easier to find if they were moved to the Current Cumulative Measures folder.

In January we will be moving the below Current Cumulative fields into the Current Cumulative Measures folder.  This will break Cognos reports using these fields.  There will be no impact to Tableau.

  • Advanced Placement (AP) Passed Units Current Cumulative
  • Education Abroad Program (EAP) Passed Units Current Cumulative
  • Grad UC Transfer Passed Units Current Cumulative
  • Graduate GPA Current Cumulative
  • International Bacccalaureate (IB) Passed Units Current Cumulative
  • Opportunities Abroad Program (OAP) Passed Units Current Cumulative
  • UG GPA Current Cumulative
  • UG UC Transfer Passed Units Current Cumulative
  • UG UC Transfer PNP Passed Units Current Cumulative


Your Requested Enhancements!

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



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

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?
  • What results were you expecting?
