We have provided you an opportunity to download the 'Derivable Query Conversion Notes', in pdf form, from our website. Derivable queries are a topic discussed in the new intermediate Datamart training and a brief introduction to this query building method was presented at OSFA this year. http://egov.oregon.gov/DAS/SCD/SARS/datamart.shtml#Datamart_Training This pdf was a handout during the OSFA training. It describes how to alter a current standard built query and turn it into a derived query. The instructions allow a user to keep their original pivots, tables, reports, and charts intact, while updating a query to run as a derived query. If you have any questions, please email the Datamart team at Datamart.Support at state.or.us.

'All Acct Event', 'Agency', etc.) within your queries might not be fully up-to-date. However, to resolve this issue, all you have to do is complete a very quick 'Sync with Database' process. To 'Sync with Database': 1) Open a 'bqy' file. 2) Click on a query section. 3) Click on the menu item called 'DataModel'. 4) Select the option 'Sync with Database' 5) You will receive a prompt to log into an Open Catalog Extension (oce). Select an oce (if not automatically provided) and log in with your Datamart information. Once the 'Sync with Database' process is complete, you should receive a popup menu showing you how many fields were updated or a message saying 'Data Model hasn't been changed'. Going forward, the 'Sync with Database' function, should be done on a period basis (recommended once a quarter). This function helps insure your queries are running at optimal level and are in sync with the Datamart. Note: If your file has multiple queries, you must select each query separately and complete the full 'Sync with Database' process. Thanks and have a great day.

To clarify, the 'Sync with Database' function does not affect the data within your query. The main focus of this process is to make sure new fields that are added to the Datamart are available for use in older queries. In addition, there could be many other changes to the Datamart, such as new indexing, a field size change, etc, which are not available in an old file. Again, this function will help your queries run at optimal levels.

If you would like a refresher on what the Repository is and how to use it, please visit our website (http://scd.das.state.or.us/DAS/SCD/SARS/pages/datamart.aspx#Reports_Repository) The updates, during this revision, ranged from formatting to functionality. All relevant queries, pivots, charts, reports, etc. were reviewed and updated, as necessary. Most files contained only minor updates; however, the 'DAFR9210' was drastically improved. It now has a comparable relation to the SFMA 9210 report provided to agency's by SFMS. If you have any questions or suggestions for improvements of the current Repository or if you have any reports which you believe would be a good fit to join this group, please send them, along with a detailed description to Datamart.Support at state.or.us.
