LUI File
LUI File contents
Import LUI File
The LUI is Imported using the QCAA tab in Import mode. Browse to the Import File and click OK.
This will import LUI into the Government Student Number field:
Note: This location is no longer optional, schools must store LUI in Government Student Number to be able to use Synergetic QCAA functionality.
When an upload file is loaded Synergetic assumes that file is the Source of Truth, and will upload the LUI against the Student ID in the Upload file. No checks or validations are run.
Import Results are displayed on screen:
These messages may appear:
- LUI loaded
- LUI Not Loaded - Student ID <Student ID> not found in Synergetic
- LUI <LUI> found against other Student <Student ID>
- This other student(s) was found in Synergetic with the LUI that QCAA has assigned to the student of the report row. This is a 'For information' message
- LUI <LUI> was overwritten
- An LUI other than the LUI QCAA has defined for this student was found and was overwritten with the LUI provided by QCAA.
Configuration File Maintenance
In the move from QSA to QCAA the following occurs, for the Configuration File Maintenance Keys:
- ExternalSystem | QSA | QSAStudentNo | FieldName
- DELETED
- if exists - ExternalSystem | QSA | SchoolCode
- CHANGED TO - ExternalSystem | QCAA | SchoolCode
If the key ExternalSystem | QCAA | SchoolCode exists in:
- SynMain > System > Configuration File Maintenance,
then it will be available for editing in Interface Settings:
(Note: Keys can only be added from within Configuration File Maintenance.)
- SynWeb > System > Interface Setings > QCAA - Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority
Data Migration (Queensland)
This section discusses data movements done during the deployment of v69.11 and above.
When QCAA is deployed to a Queensland School (ie where)
- (System > Configuration File Maintenance Key: System | Install | CountryCode | Region Code = QLD),
If the System > Configuration File Maintenance Key: ExternalSystem | QSA | QSAStudentNo | FieldName | Value = StudiesCode,
- then Tertiary Registration Code and Government Student Number are swapped.
If the System > Configuration File Maintenance Key: ExternalSystem | QSA | QSAStudentNo | FieldName | Value = TertiaryRegistrationCode,
- then the following data moves occur:
- Studies Code to moved to Government Student Number field
- Government Student Number moved to Tertiary Registration Code field
- Tertiary Registration Code moved to Studies Code field
So that the assumptions made by the QCAA Synergetic Stored Procedures are met. These are:
- Studies Code = Studies Code
- Tertirary Registration Code = Any data
- Government Student Number = LUI
