Overview

The data that feeds from SIS into Slate needs to conform to specific standards for proper processing. This document will cover the synchronization feed that has been configured, including the detailed file specifications, use cases, and development cycles.

SPS Advising

Special Considerations

Feed Processing

• TODO:
• Slate has been configured to watch for an updated file named "Slate Feed Synchronization Advising.csv" in the "incoming" SFTP folder and then process the records using the "SIS Data Synchronization" source format.
  • The CSV file is generated nightly through a scheduled Crystal Report that uses a procedure called "a2_slate_advising_pbi" on the CEREPORTS server.
    • The file is saved on the H: drive in the following location: H:\Systems and Data Analysis\DATA_EXPORTS\SIS_to_Slate.
    • The file is transferred nightly to the Slate SFTP folder using a script on the AIS terminal server.
