Announcements and Reminders

Scott

Announcements:

  • About the Reporting SIG meeting schedule

    • Meetings are held on the first 4 Mondays of each month at 11:00 am Eastern U.S. time (see this time in your time zone). The first and third Mondays focus on Reporting Development topics, and the second and fourth Mondays focus on Reporting Business topics. 

    • "business" means topics like presentations on reporting functionality and new features, new reporting applications, surveys and studies on reporting, etc.

    • "development" means working on derived tables and report queries for the folio-analytics GitHub repository

    • "workshopping" queries could be scheduled during any of these meetings, and it would be great to have topics and/or questions in advance so we can prepare to walk through the answers/approaches, such as "how to I fix this inventory query to get rid of the duplicates?" or "what is the best way to calculate totals in this finance query?" 

  • November 25 and December 23 meetings are canceled

Ongoing Topics:

  • Workshopping your queries

    • part of each Reporting SIG business meeting will be devoted to time to work through any query questions you may have

    • please reach out to Christie Thomas if you have a question you would like to "workshop" during an upcoming Reporting SIG meeting

  • Impacts of New Fields and Features (Sharon)

  • Upcoming Reporting SIG meeting topics (tentative)

    • Derived Tables

    • Reporting App use at various institutions

    • More Metadb training

  • Any new members?

    • Welcome/introductions

SIG Recruitment:

We will need to be recruiting for a variety of roles in the coming months. Please consider whether you would be interested. Please reach out to Scott Perry or Sharon Markus with any questions.

  • Representative for the Documentation Working Group 

Mapping Working Group Instructions:

Metadb version 1.4 mappings for data array extraction

Mike

This will be a working group meeting where Mike Gorrell, LDP/Metadb Project Director at Index Data, will walk us through the process of preparing mappings for data array extraction for the upcoming release of Metadb 1.4 software

  • Deployed in 2 environments (CU Boulder and Lehigh)

  • Testing to be conducted over the next few weeks:

    • Add Mappings to correspond to some of the derived tables (See example below). Run queries using those new mappings.

    • Add Mappings of more complex extractions (thank you for some test cases to use I will publish the list we have later this week). Run queries using those new mappings

    • ReSync to measure impact of CREATE MAPPING - First or second week of December

  • Working group being formed to create the mapping over the next several weeks.

  • Close to collecting daily statistics on Derived Table usage

Update on new FOLIO Reporting Environment

  • This environment will include:

    • A FOLIO environment (Ramsons and then Sunflower - roughly the same timeframe as BugFest)

      • Including the Reporting AppU

    • A Metadb synced with ^ FOLIO

  • Hoping to have it built in early December


Example of a Mapping created from a derived table creation script. From the po_lines_cost.sql script:

  • FROM:

jsonb_extract_path_text(pol.jsonb, 'cost', 'listUnitPrice')::numeric(19,4) AS po_line_list_unit_price_phys,
jsonb_extract_path_text(pol.jsonb, 'cost', 'quantityPhysical') AS po_line_quant_phys,
jsonb_extract_path_text(pol.jsonb, 'cost', 'listUnitPriceElectronic')::numeric(19,4) AS po_line_list_unit_price_elec,
jsonb_extract_path_text(pol.jsonb, 'cost', 'quantityElectronic') AS po_line_quant_elec,
jsonb_extract_path_text(pol.jsonb, 'cost', 'additionalCost')::numeric(19,4) AS po_line_additional_cost,
jsonb_extract_path_text(pol.jsonb, 'cost', 'currency') AS po_line_currency,
jsonb_extract_path_text(pol.jsonb, 'cost', 'discount')::numeric(19,4) AS po_line_discount,
jsonb_extract_path_text(pol.jsonb, 'cost', 'discountType') AS po_line_discount_type,
jsonb_extract_path_text(pol.jsonb, 'cost', 'poLineEstimatedPrice')::numeric(19,4) AS po_line_estimated_price

TO this in the Mapping file

CREATE DATA MAPPING FOR json FROM TABLE folio_orders.po_line__ COLUMN jsonb PATH '$.cost' TO 'cost';

note that there is no way to limit the fields extracted, or to rename the columns as part of this feature.


NOTE LDP Software retirement is May 1, 2025

  • Please reach out to Mike Gorrell at Index Data if you have questions

  • All institutions who have been running LDP should be completely migrated to Metadb by that date
