Renaming and Deprecating

As we've adapted the AH 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 strategy on the following items that require name changes. 

In the January 2024 release we will set the following fields to null:

  • UG Cumulative Transfer Units First will be replaced by UG Cumulative Transfer Passed Units First and UG Capped Cumulative Transfer Passed Units First
  • UG Cumulative Transfer Units Current will be replaced by UG Cumulative Transfer Passed Units Current and UG Capped Cumulative Transfer Passed Units Current
  • UG Cumulative Transfer Units will be not be replaced.

This update is due to the identification that the UC Cumulative Transfer Units fields were not using an accurate title and were pointed at the UG CCC Self Reported Transfer Units in SIS, which one on is using in their reports.

UG Cumulative Transfer Passed Units is the sum of all reported Transfer Units.

UG Capped Cumulative Transfer Passed Units is capped at 105 Transfer Units for non-exam and non-UC credits. Students with a value of over 105 may have additional exam units, UC units or may have enrolled prior to the cap.


New View

SAH-TestScores-View

BIA and the /wiki/spaces/SAH/pages/18354378 are excited to release the SAH-TestScores-View for UAT.  This view contains all of the Test Scores saved to SIS from an application, for all students who have accepted their UCSD offer.  SAH-TestScores-View is pre-joined with SAH-Demographics and available as part of SAH Core views.  Per our standard release process this view will remain in UAT until our next standard release in January 2024.

UAT - 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.

A duty cycle has been implemented for Hana QA.  During this time, Hana QA will not be available.  Please schedule your UAT work around this duty cycle.

  • Hana QA will not be available from 7pm-5am nightly
  • Hana QA will not be available Saturday and Sunday
  • Data loads will occur from 5am-10am on weekdays

Follow our Enhancement User Acceptance Testing (UAT) 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? 

Reminder: QA data sources will be deleted the Friday after the enhancements are migrated to Production.
