Updated the following logic:
GSR Projection Changes:
Project on the GSR-NO REM position in July-September, regardless of status, ignoring job end date.
- Look at GSR-NO REM job title code
- Look at 'Active' and 'Short Work Break' status
- Honor 'current' status for current period,
- Project in Future period (July - Sep next FY) based on data found during October - June
Project on the other GSR position October-June, regardless of status, ignoring job end date.
- Look at the other list of GSR job titles (in the pdf doc)
- Project October through June
- Look at 'Active' and 'Short Work Break' status
Avoid projecting on more than one GSR position the same month.
July - September should ONLY be projecting GSR-NO REM
October - June should ONLY be projecting GSR
GSR Job Titles:
003262
003263
003264
003284
003285
003286
003287
GSR NO Rem Job Title: 003266
Why: Create future projections for GSR jobs into future period(s) when current Employee Status is 'Short Work Break'. Avoid concurrent projections when employees have both GSR and GSR no rem jobs.
TA Projection Changes
What:
- Project TA Tuition Remission 3x per year: Months 12, 3 and 6
- Include Job Codes in selection list:
001506
002850
002310
002860 - Create new Projections on Account 50818 (same as GSR projection)
- Projection amount per period = 5969.33
- Prorate amount by FTE and Position Funding Distribution Percentage
- a 'Full' TA FTE = .5
- Set maximum FTE to .5 if FTE > .5
Why: Create additional projections to improve accuracy of projections.
Vacation Leave Assessment (VLA) Projections
- Create New Projections on Account 508300
- For an employee workforce record, assign the related "Employee Group" for each Workforce "Eligibility Group"
- Valid groups are: 1, 2, 3
- For Each "Employee Group", Determine the "Vacation Leave Assessment Rate"
- Vacation = salary times rate, prorated by Funding Distribution Percentage

Why: Create additional projections to improve accuracy of projections.
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
- 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.
