Are JobNet/TAXIS converted records considered TAXIS records and therefore unable to merge because the system recognizes them as TAXIS/TAXIS records? (05/22/07)

Converted TAXIS records are considered TAXIS records and can not merge. We initially received a full dump of TAXIS created Employers when SKIES went into production. From that point forward, records are received through the regularly scheduled interface. That is the difference between converted TAXIS and interface TAXIS. All still originated from TAXIS.

What about data conversion records (not specified as JobNet)? Are they TAXIS records and cannot merged – or – can they merge? (05/22/07)

As long as the originating system was not TAXIS or through the interface with Go2Worksource.com, the system allows them to merge.

How to keep other counties, WDAs, people, from having access to a particular office or area’s employer record? (05/22/07)

Currently, there is no policy or statewide practice to prohibit WDAs from sharing an employer record. This concern will be presented at the next SKIES Change Control Board meeting to assist with identifying the appropriate entity for resolution.

What is the difference between reports - SKIES Case Management reports, SKIES Management reports, and SKIES Data Warehouse reports?

There are three data sources for reports, the SKIES application, the SKIES Management Reports server and the SKIES Data Warehouse. SKIES Case Management reports are on-line queries which are a “snapshot” of real time data off the SKIES application.  On-line queries are used to create routine, local level reports, such as job order and other program data or staff activities and are located in SKIES on the Reports Menu under Case Management Reports. SKIES Management reports are referred to as "canned" reports.  These reports have bigger parameters and look at data over a longer period of time and are located in SKIES on Reports Menu under Management Reports.  The SKIES Management Reports server is updated on a nightly basis. SKIES Data Warehouse reports are generated from historical data stored in the SKIES Data Warehouse.  The WorkSource Operation Division Performance Measures, the 9002 A-E, VETS 200 A-C and all Adhoc report are derived from the data warehouse.  The SKIES data warehouse is updated weekly (Sundays).
