Follow our Enhancement Testing Steps

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