Questions and Notes

  • What is the cutoff date for CUL staff to ask the reporting team to create LDP queries for them?
  • CUL to go to Poppy in February
  • Need to determine how long to keep up LDP Production after move from Metadb Test to Metadb Production and who would have access to LDP Production?
  • In July, should we have LDP Production remain as our second instance through September 1st instead of have Metadb Test as our second instance?
  • If there is a Metadb outage, what happens to the data as synchronization is restarted? (Question for Nassib)


Priorities

  • queries will be updated for Metadb based on criticality for functional area, candidacy for Report App, and dependencies from dashboards


Dependencies

  • Automation team needs early access to Metadb Test for automation work and Prefect access
  • Annual Data Collection needs a failsafe of LDP Production access through through August 1 to create reports
  • FBO needs failsafe of LDP Production access through August 1 to create reports around fiscal year rollover


Documentation
