Mass Report Generation Managing High Volume Reporting May 2013
Overview of Volume Output Requirements Common Problems Report Resolution Demonstration Agenda
Overview of Volume • In 2012 the WorleyParsons Environmental Data Management Team processed: • 6,500 lab EDDs, • From 4 primary laboratories, accounting for • 28,000 samples, and • 1,436,000 results, • Into 3 databases containing 3,000 facilities across Canada
Output Requirements • Common data table and graph outputs are displayed: • Historically, year over year • With guidelines (action levels) comparisons applied • Grouped by analytes • From scratch on a regular basis (i.e. quarterly) Table 7 of 8, Page 105 of 132 for 1 of 11 sites Graphing sheet 3 of 800
Common Problems • Staffing: • It takes ~6 months for staff to get up to speed • After 2.5 years they are burnt out • Timing: • We have several programs that require reporting to be in the clients hand within 24 hours of sample drop off • Laboratory issues: • Inaccurate or incomplete reporting • Reporting what we want, not what we need • Labs sign reports, not data • System Issues: • An x86 32 bit machine has a 2 GB memory limit • Large data sets using a modified EQuIS report are time consuming, taking over 45 minutes to run • Cross tab display uses 5mb/second • Exporting to Excel 20mb/sec Does anyone have an analyte group that looks like this? One analyte, multiple methods.
Report Resolution • In EQuIS 5.6 EarthSoft introduced a new Beta analytical report • Allows for a new approach to reporting, using dynamic SQL • Combined with a modified lab reporting methodology WorleyParsons has been able to reduce reporting times significantly • Core features include: • Significant time and memory reduction • 47,000 record report (pulled in 23 seconds) • cross-tabbed to 5,785 (37 seconds) • with guidelines applied (41 seconds) • Similar data pulled in standard EQuIS report without guideline comparison and no-cross tab (90 seconds) • Simplified analytical grouping • Auto Cross-Tab functionality without significant memory loss • Direct Guideline (Action Level) comparison • Location Specific Guideline Comparison • Direct Web GIS Interfacing
