Data warehouse report cleanup, thinning, for Operations reports/users
With Oracle R12 project we will also have to review and potentially redo all reports in Cognos and Noetix. The default task related to R12 will be that all existing reports must be migrated to work with R12; resources, time, money is allocated based on existing body of reports. However, a portion, potentially a large portion, of existing reports should not be migrated and should be archived now. They have either not been used for x years (or ever) or do not even work anymore (there is an entire folder of Cognos reports that do not function today).
Additionally, we have reports in both Noetix and Cognos. Noetix use has been static for years (i.e. no new users) creating a split body of reports and users. Noetix reports are exclusively in personal folders, unavailable to any user except the creator. Since we must review/change these reports anyway for R12, we should identify which reports are of greatest value (i.e. servicing a group of users or relied on in a production capacity) and those should be recreated in Cognos.
