DISCUSSION ITEMS
1.
Data warehouse implementation planning: Preliminary planning activities have begun to formalize our
data warehouse implementation. In anticipation of moving our data warehouse efforts to an implementation
status, Deborah Kuechel and Linda Post recently attended a data warehouse forum addressing planning and
implementation. Discussions are moving forward regarding project organization and team participants. As
we move forward, we will be asking for staff time from many units to participate in both functional and
technical warehouse activities. Given our 8.9 upgrade schedule, we need to get a structure in place to support
8.9 reporting.
Also discussed the FIN warehouse pilot project and what the CMS Central team was doing regarding the
current functional (content) and technical (load time) issues. Pomona has been having similar issues as the
SA pilot. Phyllis will call Donna Furon for details.
Note: Call to Donna 5/17 – finishing contract with IBM consulting for issues with KK ledger and journal
lines. Should be on site in next two weeks. Donna will discuss destructive vs incremental loads with the
warehouse committee re FIN 8.4 now that we are not moving to 8.9. Pomona has been having load issues
with SA (~17 hours) but their box is considerably smaller than ours. Will be discussing 8.9 SA content when
release dates are available.
2.
Identity management status: Debbie provided a handout with information about a July 19-21 Identity and
Access Management workshop to be held at LAX. She will be contacting Bev Thornton regarding the agenda
detail. With that information we can decide which Chico stakeholders may want to attend. Debbie and
Brooke will be attending.
Note: Debbie distributed a draft agenda to the member list on 5/19 pointing out that it is now a two day
session rather than 2.5 and encouraged stakeholder attendance.
3.
Server admin authorization presentation: Brooke distributed a project review document discussing
Securing Domain Administer Accounts with multi-factor authentication. She outlined the pilot project
involving the 3-4 staff who control the Chico domains. Following a successful pilot, the next target group
will be the Server Administrators. At this point the campus at large will not be affected by this authentication
process.
4.
Enterprise server refresh: Linda itemized the most of the current enterprise servers and what was resident
on them. These servers will need to be refreshed over the next several years and that refresh will be funded
from the Enterprise/CMS budget.
5.
Electronic signatures: Much ad hoc discussion re electronic signatures -what auditors (Dove) might find
acceptable, how the associated workflow might function, etc. Leslie will follow up with UCLA re their
electronic signature processes and Bob will follow up with Dennis Graham to see what progress he might
have made with CABO.
6.
8.9 upgrade knowledge sharing session: The staff members who will play primary roles in the CS
(HR/SA) 8.9 upgrade gathered Monday to share what they knew about how PS version 8.9 will affect their
areas. Many of these folks will also be attending the CMS Central sessions the week of 5/22 and the San
Jose lessons learned discussion in June. The CMS Central upgrade team will be on site for a day long
planning session in late June. Our upgrade activities are scheduled to begin in August although preliminary
preparation and data clean up has already begun.
7.
Other: Response to the HR self service information has been good – 1200+ hits the first two weeks.
The free wireless proposal presented to the Cabinet was passed and IR staff will be working through the
issues – security, rogue access points, etc.
