Enterprise Data Warehouse (PMPRD)

Scheduled Date: Wednesday, Jan 29 2014 6:30am - 8:00am

Summary:

In the enterprise data warehouse (PMPRD), the NTNL_ID field in PS_ASU_D_PERSON_VW will begin to be populated with the last four characters of the person's primary national ID from PS_PERS_NID. Previously, the NTNL_ID field was left intentionally blank ("-") for all individuals.

Please contact datawarehouse@asu.edu with questions or concerns about this change.

Data Warehouse Enhancements and Changes - January 21, 2014

There are several upcoming changes to Data Warehouse admissions tables.

Enterprise Data Warehouse (PMPRD)

Summary:
1.      The following ASU_ADM_APPLICATION field changes are related to logic only; there are no database schema changes.
•        APPLICATION_STATUS: the sequence of the logic was adjusted for Grad applications, such that the Enrolled status will take precedence over every variation of Admitted status (e.g. Admitted – Provisions). Jira case(s): AD-642
•        NEW_UNDERGRAD_STATUS_CODE: due to recent changes in registrar handling of exchange students, the logic to determine this status code was adjusted, to include NONDEGREE, in addition to FRESHMAN and TRANSFER, when querying Student Profile tables. Jira case(s): AD-649

Note: the above logic changes will be migrated to production the evening of Monday 01/20/14; the logic will first be applied - and therefore visible in ASU_ADM_APPLICATION – the next morning when the DW load runs during its normal time, which is typically before 7am.

Table(s):
ASU_ADM_APPLICATION

Affected fields:
APPLICATION_STATUS
NEW_UNDERGRAD_STATUS_CODE

2.      Changes to DW tables loaded from PeopleSoft CSPRD table PS_AUDIT_ASU_AACAR (Jira case(s) DW-360, AD-645, DW-359):
•        PS_F_AUDIT_ASU_AACAR: add indexes to improve query performance and create a primary key to be used by the DataStage map. This DW table will continue to store only UGRD records.
•        PS_F_AUDIT_ASU_AACAR _NONUGRD: This new table will contain GRAD and all other academic careers except UGRD. This DW table will be updated nightly from CSPRD table PS_AUDIT_ASU_AACAR.

Table(s):
PS_F_AUDIT_ASU_AACAR
PS_F_AUDIT_ASU_AACAR_NONUGRD (new)


Coming Soon (4th Announcement):

Tuesday, March 4, 2014 8:00pm – 10:00pm

The obsolete Admissions Fact table (ASU_A_ADM, a.k.a. PS_ASU_A_ADM) is being deprecated using a phased approach:

As of 12/31/13, this table is no longer updated. The table will still be available for queries for a period of time, but the data will no longer be updated. Complete 12/31/13

On March 4, 2014, ASU_A_ADM (also known as PS_ASU_A_ADM) will be renamed to ASU_A_ADM_ARCHIVE (the new name is tentative), to help ensure that users of this data understand its archived state. Queries that require the frozen data in ASU_A_ADM / PS_ASU_A_ADM must be updated, to reference the archive table instead. No column names will be changed. Queries that need up-to-date admissions information should have been adjusted to use the new Admissions Fact tables (ASU_ADM_APPLICATION, ASU_ADM_APPLICANT, ASU_ADM_INTL_STUDENT and ASU_ADM_APP_FIRST_AD_SNP) or other tables/views as needed.  Jira case(s): AD-589

Please contact datawarehouse@asu.edu with questions or concerns about these changes.

Data Warehouse Enhancements and Changes - December 2013

Student Warehouse changes
Summary:
SDSP: The logic for SDSP (Sun Devil Success Program) fields is being enhanced to use a cross reference table to determine which student group(s) are associated to this program. This change also enables these fields to start populating for 2147 and beyond. Jira case(s): AD-349, AD-626

Note: the logic changes will be migrated to production on Monday evening 12/9/13; the logic will first be applied - and therefore visible in ASU_ADM_APPLICATION - on Tuesday morning when the DW load runs during its normal time, which is typically before 7am.

Table:
ASU_ADM_APPLICATION

Affected fields:
GRE_VERB
GRE_QUANT
GRE_ANLY_WRITING
GRE_VERB_PERCENTILE
GRE_QUANT_PERCENTILE
GRE_ANLY_WRITING_PERCENTILE
SDSP_FLG
SDSP_DT


Summary:
Below are two changes related to the Admissions fact data warehouse tables. Please contact datawarehouse@asu.edu with questions or concerns about these changes.

The obsolete Admissions Fact table (ASU_A_ADM, a.k.a. PS_ASU_A_ADM) is being deprecated using a phased approach:

As planned, as of December 31, 2013, we will stop refreshing this table. The table will still be available for queries for a period of time, but the data will no longer be updated. The data warehouse team invites feedback at datawarehouse@asu.edu.

After approximately two months (early March 2014), the table will be renamed, and general queries will no longer have access to it. By that time, queries that need up-to-date admissions information should have been adjusted to use the new Admissions Fact tables (ASU_ADM_APPLICATION, ASU_ADM_APPLICANT, ASU_ADM_INTL_STUDENT and ASU_ADM_APP_FIRST_AD_SNP) or other tables/views as needed. 
Jira case(s): AD-589


Summary:
These changes are related to logic only: there are no database schema changes.

GMAT: The logic to calculate GMAT scores in ASU_ADM_APPLICATION is being adjusted, to 1) use PS_STDNT_TEST_COMP rather than PS_ADM_APPL_MATLS, b) find each maximum test score per student per test component type, and 3) limit to tests taken within 5 years of the application date. This change applies to 2141 cohort term forward. This change mimics the change made to GRE score logic that went into Production on 12/10/13. Jira case(s): AD-638

Note: the logic changes will be migrated to production on Tuesday 12/31/13; the logic will first be applied - and therefore visible in ASU_ADM_APPLICATION - on Wednesday morning when the DW load runs during its normal time, which is typically before 7am.

Table:
ASU_ADM_APPLICATION

Affected fields:
GMAT_TOT
GMAT_PERCENTILE
