Human Resources Data Warehouse January 9, 2007
What is the HR data warehouse? • It is a collection of tables and views containing information that is either stored or can be derived from Banner and the HR forms. It contains only current personal information on an employee and his/her job(s). The data warehouse is refreshed from Banner every day except for the weekends and holidays.
Who can use it? • Anyone can request it but they must already have HR Banner Authorization and Org Security. The HR data warehouse request form can be found at • http://www.is.mcgill.ca/minerva/reporting/reqdatawarehouse.htm . The HR data warehouse security is based on Org security. The Finance data warehouse is based on both Fund and Org security and this allows for Research directors to report on their funds. However, the HR data warehouse is based solely on Org security and thus, we only grant access to those employees who are responsible for their whole department or faculties and who already have the necessary HR authorization to see the HR Banner forms.
Why is the HR data warehouse used? • It is used for reporting in general. It is useful for departmental level reporting up to governmental reports. It can be used for statistics, headcounts, mailing labels, etc.
How can you access the HR data warehouse? • It requires a reporting tool as it is NOT directly on Banner. In this presentation, you will see Microsoft Access used but almost any reporting tool can be used. We will also look at the Minerva Reports Menu. • The three major tables / views that you will need in general are: • DWH.HR_PERS – contains employee personal info + major job details • DWH.HR_JOB – contains job related information • DWH.HR_LBD – contains labour distribution information • The HR Data Warehouse data model and dictionary can be found at http://www.mcgill.ca/hr/forms/ under Records & Systems / Data Model.
Who can you contact if you are having problems with the HR data warehouse? • If they are technical problems, please contact your LAN Administrator or the ICS help desk. If it is concerning the data or fields on the HR data warehouse, please contact Nancy Wong, Human Resources at local 2223.
