CHAPTER 1-Caboodle Console - Answers - The Caboodle Console is a web
application housed on the Caboodle server. It includes the following:
Dictionary
Dictionary Editor
Executions
Work Queue
Configuration
CHAPTER 1-Data Warehouse - Answers - In a data warehouse, multiple sources
may load data pertaining to a single entity. This means that more than one package
may populate a given row in a Caboodle table. As a result, there may be multiple
business key values associated with a single entity in a Caboodle table.
CHAPTER 1-ETL - Answers - Extract, Transform, Load
CHAPTER 1-SSIS Package - Answers - The architecture of Caboodle includes a
staging database and a reporting database. Data is extracted from source systems
(like Clarity), transformed in the staging database, and presented for users in the
reporting database. This movement of data is realized via a set of SQL Server
Integration Services (SSIS) packages.
CHAPTER 1-Data Lineage - Answers - Generally, data lineage refers to the process
of identifying the source of a specific piece of information. In Caboodle, data lineage
is defined at the package level.
CHAPTER 1-Star Schema - Answers - The standard schema for a dimensional data
model. The name refers to the image of a fact table surrounded by many linked
dimension tables, which loosely resembles a star.
The Caboodle data model structure is based on a "star schema" ‐ where one central
fact table will join to many associated lookup or dimension tables. This structure
provides the foundation of the Caboodle data model.
CHAPTER 1-DMC - Answers - DATA MODEL COMPONENT
No table in Caboodle "stands alone." Each is considered part of a Data Model
Component, which refers to the collection of metadata tables that support the ETL
process and reporting views stored in the FullAccess schema.
Each DMC gets a type. Strict table naming conventions are followed in Caboodle, so
that a table's suffix provides information about its structure and purpose.
These suffixes are:
· Dim for dimensions (e.g. PatientDim)
· Fact for facts (e.g. EncounterFact)
· Bridge for bridges (e.g. DiagnosisBridge)
· DataMart for data marts (e.g. HospitalReadmissionDataMart)
· AttributeValueDim for EAV tables (e.g. PatientAttributeValueDim)
, · X for custom tables (e.g. CustomFactX)
CHAPTER 1-Staging Database - Answers - The Caboodle database into which
records are loaded by SSIS packages and stored procedures.
CHAPTER 1-Reporting Database - Answers - The architecture of Caboodle includes
a staging database and a reporting database. Data is extracted from source systems
(like Clarity), transformed in the staging database, and presented for users in the
reporting database. This movement of data is realized via a set of SQL Server
Integration Services (SSIS)
packages.
CHAPTER 1-Dbo Schema - Answers - STAGING DATABASE
Import tables and Mapping tables live here. This is
primarily used by administrators for moving data into Caboodle.
REPORTING DATABASE
The dbo schema stores reporting data and acts as the
data source for SlicerDicer. The Caboodle Dictionary reflects the contents of the dbo
schema.
CHAPTER 1-FullAccess Schema - Answers - STAGING DATABASE
The FullAccess schema does not exist on the Staging database.
REPORTING DATABASE
The FullAccess schema houses views that simplify reporting. FullAccess should be
your default schema when reporting.
CHAPTER 1-Identify key characteristics of the dimensional data model - Answers -
MADE for report writers.
· Simpler and more intuitive.
· Easily extensible.
· More performant..
CHAPTER 1-Identify the benefits of the dimensional data model? - Answers - It
centralizes its structure around more flexible fact and dimension tables, and the joins
between these are more intuitive.
CHAPTER 1-Identify documentation resources for reporting out of Caboodle -
Answers - Caboodle Dictionary
Reporting with Caboodle document
Caboodle ER diagram
CHAPTER 1-Identify reporting needs that best fit Caboodle - Answers - Custom data
packages can be written by Caboodle developers to accommodate your
organization's reporting needs.
CHAPTER 1-How does Epic data flow into Caboodle - Answers - Epic data moves
between several databases before it gets to Caboodle.
