Notes
This sprint we made some progress toward correcting the data used for validation of FDM combinations. Previously valid combinations are now removed if they’re no longer present, so you shouldn’t see any more issues where the Finance API thinks a combination is valid when it no longer is. There are a few other issues affecting the overall completeness of the data, so you may still see some combos incorrectly marked invalid. We’re coordinating with other teams to address these.
We added an experimental bulk export feature to all API endpoints. Add ?delivery=bulk to any API query and you’ll get the full set of results in one document, without needing to go through a paginated set. This is not a finalized feature, and it could see changes in the future, but we wanted to make it available so you can try it out if you’re interested. If you try it, please let us know about your experiences at finance-apis@doit.wisc.edu!
During Workday cutover, we needed to replace a few columns with dummy null values because they were missing from the production environment. Those columns are beginning to be added back in, and we’re converting back to using the real values where we can. This sprint we flipped the switches on the start & end dates for awards, and the inactive date for cost center hierarchies. This doesn’t require any action from integrators.
We added a new filter for awards: you can now filter them by the ID of the principal investigator. Note that this is only the primary principal investigator, and does not include any co-principal investigators that might be assigned.
