Q

What is the purpose of Data Courier?

A
  • Allow initial data build in non-production settings
  • Eliminate need to manually recreate static objects in multiple environments (copy-downs)
  • Control what data is copied from one environment to another
  • Maintain data integrity when moving data

A
  • Epic is in the process of enabling all static master files

Q

These records appear in the Data Courier dependency window colored RED.

A

Will Not Be Triggered: These records do not exist in the destination environment, and the Data Courier cannot send them.

26
Q

These records appear in the Data Courier dependency window colored BLACK.

A

Will Be Triggered: These records do not exist in the destination environment, so the Data Courier will send them with the selected records.

27
Q

These records appear in the Data Courier dependency window colored PURPLE.

A

Existing Records (Will Not Be Triggered): These records already exist in the destination environment, and are not sent.

28
Q

These records appear in the Data Courier dependency window colored GREEN.

A

Existing Non-Enabled Records (Will Not Be Triggered): These records already exist in the destination environment, but the Data Courier cannot send updates. If a record needs to be updated, you must make the changes manually in the destination environment.

29
Q

These records appear in the Data Courier dependency window colored BLUE.

A

Existing Epic Released Records (Will Not Be Triggered): These records are standard in all environments and cannot be edited.

30
Q

What do I do with dependencies that appear in the Will Not Be Triggered list (RED)?

A
  1. ) The record must be created in the destination environment.
  2. ) When the record exists in the destination environment, sync the CIDs.
  3. ) After the CIDs have been synced, click “Calculate Dependencies” to refresh the dependencies list. The records in the Will Not Be Triggered list should have moved to the Existing Non-Enabled Records list.
31
Q

How do you change the Destination or DC path?

A

click the Edit button and change destination/path.

32
Q

What is the TMC policy for the mandatory comment field?

A

Always include the heat ticket # and a brief description (INI, application, etc…)

33
Q

How can you verify that your package was sent successfully using Data Courier?

A

Select Packages Sent activity in Data Courier.

34
Q

WHat does it mean if ther is an error displayed for your package?

A

That some or all of the category lists or records may not have made it into the destination environment.

35
Q

Where can you find known issues for Data Courier?

A

In the Data Courier Issues List in Sherlock

36
Q

What is the cause of the “Ack Missing” error?

A

If the record is opened in the target environment when being sent via Data Courier, the record will not be updated and a “Ack Missing” Error will occur and will resolve itself when the record is closed.

A

The Data Courier Administrators

38
Q

47
Q

What options do you have for “Existing Non-Enabled Records (Will Not Be Triggered) (Green) dependencies?

A

If a record needs to be updated, you must make the changes manually in the destination environment.
