Join Connect+Learn for as session with the Reporting & Analytics Technology Team to learn about the upcoming migration from Azure Data Studio to Visual Studio Code. Microsoft announced that it will be consolidating its SQL development tools to provide a more robust and feature-rich environment, and will be retiring Azure Data Studio on February 28, 2026. To ensure continued support, security and access to a feature-rich environment, we recommend that current Azure Data Studio users transition to Visual Studio Code by October 14, 2025.

In this session, we will discuss:

• An overview of the migration to Visual Studio Code.
• What’s changing, including key similarities and differences to Azure Data Studio.
• A demo of how to download and connect to Visual Studio Code.
• An overview of support resources on the Power BI site.

This session will explore how staff in academic units and Registrars’ Offices can generate class lists, reports, and downloads of academic information from ROSI and ROSI Express. The initial focus of this session will be on the class list report which is generated from ROSI Express using Power BI. Attendees will be shown a basic feature set and how to navigate the refreshed interface. Following that, we will demonstrate the entire ROSI Download process, from setting up parameters, to importing text file output for use in Excel. The session will conclude with a discussion of the new output format in ROSI’s Diagnostic Reporting screens (e.g., sessional count) and how to convert output file formats.

Topics addressed:

• • Refresher of the PowerBI class lists reports available through ROSI Express
  • Review of ROSI report downloads (downloads available, formatting output, and new output header files)
  • Converting ROSI “list” reports (e.g., Registration diagnostics) to Excel
  • How to differentiate and convert between file types used in ROSI (e.g., *.TXT vs. *.PRN vs *.CSV)
