DW and new States

Hi,
We have recently added a few more Work Item types to the Project Area configuration. We have also created a new set of Work Item States. And it is brilliant!

However, there had to be, I am having problems with building report templates for the new work items.

The new "State"s do not appear to be in the STATE table, so I cannot join the STATE table with the LIVE_WORKITEM_COUNT table.

On the work item records we see "scenarioworkflow.state.s13". I worked out that we need to add the project area id + s in front of the state id. However, we don't see any of our new records in the STATE file, only the standard ones.

What am I missing. Do we need to extend the DW process to include the new states?

Cheers,

Michael

I seems the problem is caused by code in the work items component that strips any leading "s" character from state ids.

Did you assign a state group to your new states?

i force dw snapshot updates to see the current burndown. its accessible via the web UI under the reports section.

im doing the force because our server backup routine sometimes overlap the midnight schedule. we can move it but its the only feasible downtime schedule for us since we are a globally distributed team.

ciao!

Is there a way to force a snapshot to happen immediately?

Cheers,

Not working.

We added the new states on Wednesday, tried writing the reports Thursday and the states are not in the STATE file.

If you add new states and work item types, they should be picked by the data warehouse. You do not need to do any thing.
Just wait for midnight for the new states and types to be saved in the data warehouse dimension tables.
