titleAbout

The CCQS Data & Analytics space is the place to find resources related to data and analytics to support the CCSQ mission to improve outcomes, beneficiary experience of care, and population health and reduce health care costs.

To support this mission, the HCQIS Data and Analytics modernization effort applies the agile development approach to make information timely, accessible, and secure. The CCSQ HCQIS Amazon Web Services (AWS) environment is composed of the Centralized Data Repository (CDR) and the CCSQ Analytics Platform (CAP). The CDR consists of single, well-defined, and high-quality versions of all the data entities within the CCSQ organizational ecosystem. The CAP provides high-performance, in-memory analytics in an open, cloud-enabled, run-time environment. 

The information is organized under four main categories: Training & Onboarding, Data Resources, Analytics & Tools, and Collaboration, as shown in the top navigation bar.

More information regarding the CDR is found under Data Sources. More information regarding the CAP is found under Analytics & Tools. The Community of Practice (CoP) includes regular Communications Calls, which provide a means for community-wide information sharing.

CAP and CDR Maintenance Outage

A maintenance event for CAP and CDR is scheduled for this Friday, December 18th, beginning at 8:00 pm ET. The event will complete later that evening, and a communication will be sent out once maintenance is complete.

Call to Action: If you have not saved your tables, please make sure to do so. This is to ensure that your information will be saved throughout the maintenance process. Any long running jobs would also have to be restarted.

Prior to the planned maintenance window, users should save any of the tables in their own CASLIB to Hive in order for the information to be saved. You can save your existing CASLIB data loaded into memory using the following code. You’ll need to update the code to reference your CASLIB name and table. You will need to save each table individually. After the maintenance window, you will need to load your tables back into memory in order to continue working with them. As a reminder, whenever there is maintenance on the environment, you will need to make sure all of your code and table changes are saved.

1/13/2021: An issue is identified in the CDR that is currently blocking Hive requests. The team is investigating the issue and request users refrain from submitting Hive jobs at this time. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED. USERS CAN NOW RESUBMIT THEIR HIVE JOBS. 


The Data & Analytics Modernization team is aware that some users are currently experiencing 60-second timeout (60000 Millisecond) or Vertex errors in the CDR Hive environment when executing Hive queries in SAS. This is an intermittent issue and does not affect all queries.

Our team is currently investigating and troubleshooting. If you are experiencing this issue, the workaround at this time is to resubmit your queries. Additional information and updates will be provided in the Known Issues Log on Confluence once the team has more information.
