Update on CCC Data 2.0 release
CCC Data 2.0 Pilot:
Deployed to Pilot
Several colleges involved and able to complete Pilot testing
Very successful pilot
results were good, the feedback was excellent
Testing helped support implementation process
Pilot Activities:
Testing included colleges installing a custom site-to-site VPN working in coordination with with our team
VPN is used to secure access to the data warehouse that data is only accessed through this direct connection.
Pilot colleges connected their BI tools (either Tableau or Power BI) to the data warehouse
Pilot testing also included colleges running direct queries using MySQL Workbench
We were not able to test colleges ability to connect tables in the data warehouse to a local data warehouse as external tables, pilot colleges IT did not have bandwidth to support
As we continue to roll out direct connection, we look forward to engaging colleges to test and help us document this process
CCC Data 2.0 Production:
Deployed to Production
Adoption of DW direct connect
15 colleges working with our Enabling Services group and are in various stages of going live on direct connection to the Data Warehouse
96 colleges are using the report server
Difference between DW Report Server and DW Direct Connect
Question/Answers:
Dulce Delgadillo: Once connected can CCCTC provide guidance on how to query data sources?
Where can find documentation to support local researchers use of DW direct connect
Mark will continue to work with team and colleges to develop the direct access user guide to link up more into Data Dictionaries to provide compete roadmap
Dustin Tamashiro: Helpful to see upfront on documentation what type of SQL language is compatible

Overview of the upcoming CCC Data 2.1 release
CCC Data 2.1
New data sources in DW segmented by MIS code & made available to CCC’s through DW Report Server (DWRS) and direct DW access:
Canvas (as opted-in to by individual colleges)
MyPath
COCI
New data sources in DL & made available to CCCCO in the DW
Nova
Launchboard
Adoption of 2.1
When released we will be providing instructions on how the district can work with our Enabling Services group to initiate having their Canvas data added to the Data Warehouse.
Question/Answers:
Dulce Delgadillo: Is the Canvas data by institution or district?
Denice Inciong: We have it by colleges but our district has access for connections to our SIS. But, the owners for us are the colleges.
Mark Cohen: The data comes across is based on the API key and is segmented by MIS code.
John Sills: Any district colleges that have their own instance they're all set up at the district level and those API keys are generated the district level so getting it set up, I think, initially would probably require a district type decision.

Discussion on a proposed survey for feedback on how colleges are accessing and using CCC Data Warehouse resources.
We currently have 96 colleges that have access to the Data Warehouse Report Server. The Tech Center is working on a survey of these users to better understand:
How are colleges accessing data from the Data Warehouse?
How would colleges like to connect to the data in the DW?
How would colleges like to connect to the data in the DW?
What are colleges doing with the data?
What applications are colleges connecting with the Data Warehouse when using direct (ODBC/JDBC) connection?
Gathering feedback from advisory group to determine best approach on how to engage research community in providing this insight.

Questions and Feedback
Dulce Delgadillo: Non credit regional group may be a forum where we can include in the agenda once survey is ready to be shared
Announcement
Alex Jackl: Has submitted a draft data access policy which dictates what access is appropriate to what data, will be reviewed again by general counsel, will be shared with group once reviewed and approved by legal

Date Resolved/Answered:
Owner: Mark Cohen
Documentation to support local researchers use of DW direct connect, include:
Denice Inciong: We have it by colleges but our district has access for connections to our SIS. But, the owners for us are the colleges.
Mark Cohen: The data comes across as based on the API key, segmented by MIS code.
John Sills: Any district colleges that have their own instance they're all set up at the district level and those API keys are generated the district level so getting it set up, I think, initially would probably require a district type decision. Going to need to be a governance issue, all the colleges are probably going to have to agree before it gets uploaded

What do analytics indicate about CO MIS usage with regard to the data mart?
Alex Jackl will work with Todd Hoig to get answer to this question, will share response w Mark and Advisory group.
Per Alex, CO has been running some page web page analytics against people accessing data mart and so we might have some data from that.
Alex will share responses with Mark so that he can share with Advisory group.
