The Harvard Analytics and Reporting Tool (HART), powered by OBI, will be migrated to the Oracle Analytics Server (OAS). The migrated version moves HART to the Oracle Analytics Server (OAS) and becomes the first administrative reporting system to move onto the new platform.

HART in OAS will be available to all users on Monday, April 12, 2021.

For information about the migration, timeline, and summary of changes, download the HART Migration to Oracle Analytics Server Information PowerPoint. This PowerPoint will be updated as additional updates are available and will be communicated to the HART community via the HART mailing list.

Key Deadlines

  • There will be no March HART Release. To facilitate the HART migration activities, there will be no HART release of enhancements or bug fixes to the system.  The April release is tentatively scheduled for Friday, April 30, 2021.
  • Last Date that New Users/Changes to Existing Users will be Processed until HART Migration to OAS: To facilitate the migration process, any requests for new HART users or changes to existing HART users will be held by Client Services from Friday afternoon, March 26, 2021 until Monday, April 12, 2021.  Authorized Requestors will continue to submit requests for new users and changes to existing users to Client Services using a revised user request form.
  • Any New User or Changes to Existing User Requests made March 26 – April 9 will be processed so that access will be available on Monday April 12, 2021.  Client Services is communicating detailed user security information concerning the HART Migration directly to Authorized Requestors.
  • User Customizations: Every effort is being made to migrate existing customizations to HART in OAS.  Users should be aware that any customizations created between March 26-April 11 will NOT migrate into HART.
  • Bookmarks: If you have any bookmarks that have been sent to you by someone, you should save that bookmark as a customization before March 26th so it will migrate to HART in OAS.  Bookmarks not saved as customizations before March 26 will not work in OAS.
 

New Look and Feel

  • While the dashboards themselves will not change significantly, some icons have changed and there will be changes to the color scheme.  These changes will be demonstrated to users in the HART OAS Webinars (see below).
     
  • New Homepage: As HART will now be part of an overall administrative reporting system, users will log into a new homepage when they log into the system.  There will also likely be a design change to the status page users see after HART business hours.
     
  • No URL ChangeThe program team is working to keep the existing HART URL the same for HART OAS.  Any change to this plan will be communicated directly to users in future updates.

Important Note: The Program Team is still making final decisions on look and feel changes of OAS

The new look and feel will be demonstrated to users in the HART OAS Webinars.  In the screenshots below  you will see a glimpse of OAS as it looks “out of the box” from Oracle.
