Actual situation:
The naming convention followed for Data reader logs using Board Connector/SAP as source is using the following naming convention:

XXXX_-ZZZZ_YYYYMM

with

XXXX : First 4 characters of the Data Model name
ZZZZ : Internal number attributed by Board to a data reader, starting from 9999
YYYYMM : Year and month

Identified issues/limits:
  • Using only the first 4 characters of the DM name can be confusing especially when DM have a similar starting name
  • The internal number of the data reader is only known by Board system and can only found by manual mapping. So far we have found that numbers starts from 9999 and number are not reused when a data reader is deleted unless it's the most recent one.
  • Because of this naming structure duplicates are possible between DM and since logs are replaced by the most recent one or deleted when there are no errors, log management and tracking is impacted.
Idea:
  • New naming convention using the full name of the data model and not only the first 4 characters.
  • Displaying in the data reader section the technical code associated to the data reader similar to entity and cube physical name.
