1. Refreshing Databases a. FI needs PROD copied to TEST for testing claims. b. Linda Phillips’ concern: ‘If PROD is copied to TEST again, I'm going to lose changes I recently made to forms, AGAIN. Linda and Renee are going to identify the tables that will need saved prior to cloning from

PROD to TEST. She asked me when this information is needed and I told her I did not know when the clone was planned or if a date had even been set. If we have a general idea, please let me know. c. Angie’s input: ‘Not for DEVL or TRNG - DEVL has the

FA 8.6 upgrade which FA is working on in prep for golive.

i. FA 8.6.2 upgrade (includes 8.6.0.3 patch) is scheduled for delivery on February 15. This will need to be installed on DEVL asap as Anna will be on site for go-live this week. Chase will install the FA 8.6.2 upgrade on DEVL the afternoon of Feb 16 (FA will be in Cognos training in the afternoon) The PROD system will have to be down to install the FA 8.6.2 upgrade. Could the FA 8.6.2 upgrade be installed on PROD the weekend of February

20 th or February 27?

ii. The FA Spring Regulatory release 8.7 is scheduled for delivery Mar 31, 2010.’

Action Refreshing Databases: PROD will not be copied to TEST. DEVL will be down the afternoon of

February 16 to load FA updates. ILT recommended upgrading PROD the weekend of February 20.

Discussion, Information d. Summary i. FI needs PROD copied to TEST for claim form testing. Linda will identify tables that need to be saved before cloning. ii. Nolij would like PROD copied DEVL iii. DEVL down afternoon of Feb 16 for FA patch iv. Upgrade PROD weekend of Feb 20 or 27 e. FYI: Those using TRNG need to only use this system for “real-life” testing, not to do “play” testing to see what happens. We will still be testing payroll and need accurate employees in there. No name changes, etc…..

2. Common Matching a. A request has been made to reexamine common matching. We might need to put some criteria other than name, social and date of birth in place. b. Hillary just ran into a situation where she was getting ready to add a female constituent and could not find them. She had their name, address, phone number, and e-mail in GOAMTCH. When she ran the duplicate check, there were no records found. She was getting ready to go back into box to create a new record and realized there was a different last name in the person’s e-mail. When she went to search under that last name, she found them. However, their address, phone and email was identical to what she had entered on

GOAMTCH. c. I am afraid we have the possibility of creating multiple records on people who have changes in last name. We probably should reexamine common matching or at least figure out how to search by these criteria before we add constituents. d. IT’s recommendation is to add e-mail to Common

Matching

3. Cognos a. We now have a PROD instance of Framework Manager on a separate box. TEST remains on STU04. b. Training is rescheduled for February 15-17 in the Burch

Lab c. Kurt, Greg, Julie and I met this week to visit about

Cognos Reporting, E-Print and how that ties into

Action Taken, Decisions, Recommendations results.

Decision Common Matching: 1) A question will be put on the listserv, 2) Sherry will send information on

Common Matching, i.e., documents, manuals, etc. to ILT and 3) Functional team leads will test GOAMTCH as soon as possible and send Sherry information on their

Recommendation Cognos Licenses: ILT recommended waiting until after ST Cognos training to

Discussion, Information

Luminis. It was a very productive meeting. One of the things we discussed was the possibility of individual departments paying for their own Cognos license upgrades. Some of you already know this, but Hillary wrote a report a couple of weeks ago that included a prompt to select a person and then display their giving records. In Query Studio, the only prompt available is a drop-down box. There is a limit on the number of entries that can be included in the drop-down box prompts and therefore it only included those with a last name beginning with ‘A’ through ‘C’. We brought that report into Report Studio, which has many options as far as prompts are concerned. After changing the prompt type where a name can be entered and some possible names displayed, it worked well for them.

Hillary indicated that type of prompt will need to be used on many of their reports. So that leaves two options: d. Hillary completes her report and tests it with the prompt that is available to her. At that point she lets Angie know it is complete and Angie changes the prompt type. e. Advancement purchases their own Report Studio license. Report Studio is a Professional Author license. f. Another thing we discussed was the student master report. Right now in legacy the student master report can be ran by term and major code. In Banner, if we run the student master report daily (this could be scheduled through Cognos) and include the major,

E-Print can be used to look at that major code column and only pull the entries with that particular major code. Since there is an E-Print channel on

Luminis and no license constraints, this seems to be the optimal solution. As an added bonus, we would have an archive available of student master lists.

If they want, departments could compare the list day to day or compare to a year ago. We will all be working together to get this tested in the near future. If this concept works, it could be utilized for quite a few reports.

Action Taken, Decisions, Recommendations determine additional license needs and structure.

Meeting Agenda and Notes

April 12, 2020

Discussion, Information g. Cognos licensing costs just had a decrease: i. BI Administrator 10,480 ii. BI Business Author 1,096 iii. BI Consumer 672 iv. BI Advanced Business Author 1,264 v. BI Professional Author (Report Studio) 2,104 vi. Annual maintenance is approx 13.5% of license h. Discussion on address types in Cognos i. ILT could not agree on having one universal address type hierarchy, so we will have one or more for each area. i. Speed of Cognos running slow: i. Dawne reported Cognos was running slow and after research found that we needed to purchase Oracle Partitioning Option to our

Campus Wide Licenses which would be around

$130,520. Another alternative is to have Greg optimize each report which will make it run faster. NOTE to ILT , once reports are created they need to be sent to Greg as soon as possible so he can work on this process. j. Report Change Form i. Tom suggested we use a Report Change Form when requesting reports of IT. Debbie said we have that in place in legacy and will continue to use this form.

4. Nolij Update a. GP Sync – this will need to eventually be assigned to someone in Admissions. b. SASR Sync update: Admissions will dual enter the legacy tracking codes in Banner checklist. We are not able to use the checklist rules because we have such a diverse population and too many variables. Kelly is working with Nolij on finishing up with the final changes that need to be made. c. Banner Online and Go Army Ed online app to be implemented by May 31

5. e-Print: Greg, Chase and Kurt are the administrators k. Update:

6. E-Vision: Rick is the administrators

Action Taken, Decisions, Recommendations

Decision address types: ILT decided we would not have a global hierarchy for address when running reports in Cognos. Therefore, each functional area is to

1) verify what address types we have now and 2) send a hierarchy of order in which you want addresses pulled for your reporting.

Discussion GP Sync: Jamie was not aware Admission would be running GY Sync. Therefore, more discussion on this is necessary.

Discussion, Information l. Update: Email package for FormFusion to allow purchase orders to be emailed to the requesting department is desirable.

7. AppWorx: Greg and Chase are the Administrators; Angie is the technical lead m. Update:

8. Workflow: HR is scheduled for training February 23-25

9. Luminis: Julie is the administrator n. Update: Julie discussed some people were having with login problems. People were told to use their window’s login, but if their name is over 7 characters the system will not accept it. IT is taking care of these calls as they come in. o. Another problem is the issue with IE7. This is causing problems with Click to Learn and MyCU. Email below is from Jurt which describes the fix for this: i. I have created a registry file with keys which will merge with the registry of local computers to add different variants of https://cameron.nexportcampus.com to the trusted sites of campus computers. The registry file that I created will executed through the facstaff logon script. I tested the process and it works. The trusted sites should be applied to users’ computers tomorrow upon logon. I thought of performing this task through group policy, but I found out that group policy was not the best option because it would have grayed out the trusted sites option on local computers. This would avoid users from being able to add trusted sites on their own, and also it would create a lot of overheads on the Windows Server administration side.

10. Update on interfaces/extracts p. Early Alert: 9/10/10 q. Blackboard Connect-Ed: Greg said this was 50 percent complete the rest will be complete by August r. ID Card: 8/1/10 - Rick

11. How soon will MyCU come down after ST go live in August?

Linda Phillips says they will need access to historical rosters, enrollment transactions, class schedules, etc. v. Dawne and Debbie’s comments:

Dawne: I visited with Linda and she indicated they would need the MyCU data for a ‘long time’. She says it’s not just her office, but also Vicki Henson and Lani

Malcolm who have to go back and look at enrollment transactions for special requests. Sometimes those requests are even prior to 2002 (our first conversion).

Debbie: Do you know if we will be able to function with one server like FI does? Scott also needs to provide input on this as well. I know I am preaching to the choir, but we cannot continue to pay maintenance on all of our legacy systems. The ST and FI servers are running

Win 2003.

Dawne: She also asked me when the 3000 would be shut down. There were some degrees that were not converted quite right in 2002 and that is her only way of comparing and getting the cleanup done. She did not tell me when she thought they would have that cleanup completed.

Debbie: It was my hope to shut it down 7/1/10 so we can stop paying maintenance on it. I wonder if there is any possibility of this happening. At some point, we will not be able to get maintenance.

Debbie: As far as I know, it will be discussed in ILT. We need to determine if it is easier to copy Linda’s forms and tables or to redirect Evisions, but it may not be this simple. The brain trust will need to offer their opinions

Per Angie: I talked with Chris and FA will need MyCU up until Nov 30, 2010 to complete reporting for the

2009-2010 aid year.

Action Taken, Decisions, Recommendations

Discussion MyCU and HP3000 : ILT discussed the importance of keeping the legacy and HP3000 up and running for an indefinite time due to needing historical information that was not converted to Banner. IT’s concern was the cost of maintenance and support for keeping them running. It was suggest we might be able to download information into an Excel Read Only file. It was also suggested we should be putting HP3000 in

ASKII code. IT asked functional leads that have data on the HP 3000 to send Debbie what data they will possibly need to reference. No final decisions were made.

Discussion, Information

MyCU: Chris also mentioned needing access to MyCU for student info related to appeals. These can go back terms and years. However the Business Office could print a report of the student’s past AR details.

Depending on the action FA has to do a recalc and return federal funds. If I understood correctly they could get information from other departments to figure the recalc. She mainly needs to have the students enrollment history related to the appeal. For more info get with Chris.

The current ifas system would need to stay up for at least 3 years until November 2013 for FA history.

There may be other regulations that could require this to be longer, more checking would need to come from

FA.

12. HR: Discussion on procedures to complete Banner CBT

If you are live, please finalize your time logs.

A. Advancement Team Update a. Go live report b. Received of Milestone Certificate and Acceptance form.
