Issue NumberTitle/DescriptionProposed Fix STORET Helpdesk Tracking #(s)Fix DateStatusReceived Date
artf6271Project Document/ Graphic and Project/ Document URL fields are not being returned from the Warehouse
From the Warehouse query application, Project Document / Graphic URLs are blank when returned in the downloaded text file.
The maximum Project Document / Graphic unique identifier from WQX must be placed in the correct table and column within the STORET Warehouse, and the refresh process will confirm this unique ID is getting populated and the URL is populating the "Project Document/Graphic" data element in the STORET Warehouse.1292, 1473, 725 Closed2/2/2011
artf7800Data Elements Result Depth and Result Depth Unit are not available in the STORET Warehouse
Result Depth and Result Depth Unit are data elements available in WQX, but not queriable through the STORET Warehouse.

artf6279STORET Warehouse counts and EPA web services counts for Results and Stations should match
STORET Warehouse query counts and STORET web services counts for results and stations do not match. When results or stations are queried with EPA web services, counts do not match replicate queries in the STORET Warehouse query application.

artf6705 WQX -- STORET Warehouse issue with repeating projects
When the STORET GetResults web service is called (http://iaspub.epa.gov/webservices/StoretResultService/), the returned data file sometimes contains repeating Project IDs.
Evaluate the extent of the issue to determine if this is an issue with all GetResults service calls or only a few organizations. Make any needed revisions to the GetResults service code. 1289 Closed5/17/2011
artf7143Missing Activity Attached Documents
From the Warehouse query application, Activity Document / Graphic URLs are blank when returned in the downloaded text file.
The maximum Activity Document / Graphic unique identifier from WQX must be placed in the correct table and column within the STORET Warehouse, and the refresh process will confirm this unique ID is getting populated and the URL is populating the "Activity/Result Document Graphic" data element in the STORET Warehouse.1292, 977 Closed9/14/2011
artf7158Projects and Monitoring Locations are not being deleted out of the Warehouse.
There is currently not a way to delete projects or monitoring locations from the STORET Warehouse.
Develop scripts to mirror actions executed in WQX deleting Monitoring Locations and Projects to concurrently perform the same actions in the STORET Warehouse. 1351 Closed9/17/2011
artf6338Alternative Monitoring Locations to Warehouse Station Alias Table
The STORET Warehouse is not serving out Alternative Monitoring Locations when queried.
 1473 Closed2/16/2011
artf7429Activity comment field truncation

Non detect values for characteristics are not consistently displayed out of the Warehouse.
 791, 644, 1128, 1477 Closed10/26/2011
artf6337Detection Limits Handling
It appears that the Warehouse is currently not able to report all detection limits associated with a result in separate columns (WQX data). For example, when data has an Upper Quantification Limit, that value is being reported in both the “Detection Limit” field as well as the “Upper Quantification Limit” field when exported from the Warehouse.
 791, 644, 1128, 1477 Closed2/16/2011
artf7448 Characteristic names are duplicated when the activity is data logger (historical results)
Data Logger results are duplicated for historical STORET data
 1292 Closed10/27/2011
artf7672Results associated with EPA Beaches data are duplicating
EPA Beaches results data is duplicated when downloaded from the STORET Warehouse.
 1571 Closed12/1/2011
artf6730Activity Media Name field is returning incorrect values for QC submissions
WQX data submitted with Activity Types containing the phrase "Quality Control" are not being consistently stored as QC data in the STORET Warehouse.
Explore the universe of data that falls within a QC media within the STORET Warehouse. Explore alternative ways of serving out QC data in order to preserve the original activity media submitted by users. 420, 1174 Open5/23/2011
artf6272Map scales for some Monitoring Locations have extra decimal places when downloaded from the STORET Warehouse
Some Monitoring Location map scales are being assigned extra decimal places when downloaded from the Warehouse.
This has been fixed.725 Closed2/2/2011
artf6203WQX toxicity data is improperly mapped to STORET regular results
Much of the toxicity data in WQX is getting improperly mapped to the STORET regular result fact table instead of the biological result fact table where it should be mapped to. This behavior is not consistent; the WQX data with "Count" as the characteristic is getting placed in the STORET biological result fact table, but none of the other records are.
Data is currently stored as biological results if the activity media is biological. Data will now be mapped as biological results if the activity media is biological, and/ or Biological Intent is not null, and /or Taxonomic IAd is not null.   Open1/19/2011
