Notes on the PennERA Proposals Snapshots Diagram

·return to the PennERA Proposals Snapshots diagram
  • The diagram identifies the tables that are included in the PennERA Proposals Snapshots Universe and the join criteria for the tables.
  • Note that for each set of parent codes (for example, organization parents), there is only one physical table (for example, SPFY_PARENT_ORG_CODES). In Business Objects, the Universe has been designed with more than one Class for each parent table, to facilitate reporting on parents and grandparents at the same time. The Business Objects Class names for the parent Classes end in 'P'; those for the grandparent Classes end in 'Gp'.
  • The diagram and the Universe show SPFY Org Codes separately from SPFY Resp Org Codes, but there is only one physical table: SPFY_ORG_CODES.
  • An asterisk (*) in the diagram indicates that, in addition to being joined to the other table(s) as shown in the diagram, the table is joined to at least one reference table.
    • Usually, these are outer joins. For example, SPFY_ORG_CODES.SPFY_ORGANIZATION_CODE(+) = SPFY_PENNERA_PROPOSAL_V.PROPOSAL_RESP_ORG_CODE and SPFY_ORG_CODES.SPFY_SNAP_FY(+) = SPFY_PENNERA_PROPOSAL_V.SNAPSHOT_FY
    • The tables whose names begin with SPFY are the ones that are refreshed by the PennERA Proposals snapshot process. As illustrated in the bullet point above, when two SPFY tables are joined to each other, the snapshot fiscal year in one table matches the snapshot fiscal year in the other table. However,
      • when an SPFY reference table is joined to EMPLOYEE_GENERAL_SNAP, the SPFY table's snapshot fiscal year matches the calendar year in EMPLOYEE_GENERAL_SNAP. Also, because the SPFY tables generally store snapshots that were taken in December, the join includes a condition to retrieve EMPLOYEE_GENERAL_SNAP's December data. For example: SPFY_ORG_CODES.SPFY_ORGANIZATION_CODE(+) = EMPLOYEE_GENERAL_SNAP.PRI_ACAD_DEPT_ORG and SPFY_ORG_CODES.SPFY_SNAP_FY(+) = EMPLOYEE_GENERAL_SNAP.CALENDAR_YEAR and EMPLOYEE_GENERAL_SNAP.CALENDAR_MONTH=12
      • when an SPFY reference table is joined to BALANCES, the SPFY table's snapshot fiscal year + 1 matches the fiscal year in BALANCES. For example: SPFY_CNAC_CODES.SPFY_CNAC_CODE=BALANCES.COA_CNAC and to_number(SPFY_CNAC_CODES.SPFY_SNAP_FY)+1 = to_number(BALANCES.FISCAL_YEAR).
