Blackboard source tables available in Snowflake for Illuminate Premium clients in Europe region
We continue expanding the availability of Blackboard source tables to more regions. 191 source tables from Blackboard’s Open Database Schema are now available for Illuminate Premium clients in Europe. Deployment to US region will follow in later releases. The transactional database for Blackboard is normally only available to Direct Data Access customers.
These entities are available in Snowflake as views in a new LEARN schema within the existing Illuminate database. This data is refreshed every 4 hours.
Europe region migration to Multi-tenant architecture
Instances hosted in Europe region are migrated to Multi-tenant architecture, which is a more reliable data connection method. Migration in US region will follow in later releases.
You can check whether your instance is multi-tenant by viewing CDM_LMS in Snowflake. Multi-tenant instances have data organized in views while single-tenant instances have data organized in tables.
As part of this change, the primary key (ID) field for all rows in all views is updated to be unique across all tenants, therefore any queries that reference specific IDs will need to be updated.
