Data Warehouse Projects

As of April 2008

     
  • BOG SUDS Conversion Project
Status: In Progress
Inception Date:
10/2007
The Florida Board of Governors' (BOG) Information Resource Management (IRM) is converting the State's Reporting System from a mainframe environment to a client server (ORACLE) environment. As a result, the institutions within the SUS, including USF, must convert all master files and any other ad hoc reporting for submission in the new client server environment.

The architecture needed for the conversion will be created in the Data Warehouse.  Data necessary to produce the submission files will be stored within that architectural structure. 

This project is currently in the analysis and planning phrase. Development is scheduled to begin soon.  Additional details will be posted to this page, as they become available.

The following master SUS files are scheduled to be converted:

  • Appworx Upgrade to 6.1.3 (application)
Status: Completed
Inception Date: 1/2008
The Appworx application 5.1.1 is in the process of being upgraded to 6.1.3.  We are analyzing how this upgrade will affect Data Warehouse and REPO processes and will notify users of any pertinent information.

The comparison report below shows the changes between the production and pre-production databases. The Appworx production (current) database, Version 5, is USFX2 (schema: APPWORX). The Appworx pre-production (upgrade) database, Version 6, is USFX1 (schema: APPWORX3).  An asterisk in the report represents a change to an element within a table. Only tables that have changes appear in the report.
