Why are we using the CAMP database if CAMP doesn’t exist anymore? Because we’ve just taken the first step in decommissioning CAMP. We could not disconnect the CAMP database from everything at the same time because everything would have broken. We’ve replaced the application called CAMP with the application called Chef. And at the same time, we linked Chef to the (new!) resource management system. But the CAMP database is still connected to Chef. Next steps will include making changes to how information is shared in the directories among other things. |
Where we see data | Where does it come from? |
|---|---|
 | When someone looks at their own profile or when a manager goes to ‘My Team” and pulls up someone’s record in Chef, they are looking at information from Unit4, the resource management system. Here, you’ll see the official position name etc. |
  | In all of the Chef ‘Directory’ functions, whether it’s a ‘search’ or ‘organizational directory’ or ‘phone directory’, you’ll view information on a card, shown on the bottom picture. The information on this card comes from the CAMP database. Why? Because we cannot disconnect everything at once. The position name/title you see here may be the same as that on file in the Resource Management system OR it may be whatever title was entered into the text field in CAMP back in the day. |
 | When you look at someone’s ‘organization’ information in Outlook, the data you see comes from the CAMP database. Why? Because we cannot disconnect everything at once. The position name/title you see here may be (coincidentally) the same as that on file in the Resource Management system OR it may be whatever title was entered into the text field in CAMP back in the day (more likely). The ‘organizational structure’ shown here does not reflect the official organizational structure. Instead, it’s reliant on the email address listed as the ‘computer account notification email’. This is not ideal and won’t be this way forever. But it is this way right now and cannot be changed at this time. |
 | When you look at organizational data in Teams, same as above. |
