School Exclude, Calendar Exclude, Resource Toggle and Resync Logic
This table describes the School Exclude, Calendar Exclude, Resource Toggle and Resync logic of this object.
Action | Business Rule |
|---|---|
| None | If a resource is toggled to 'OFF' after data has sent, all sent data will remain in the ODS but no new data will send. |
| Delete | If a resource is toggled to 'OFF" after data has sent and an action is performed that would trigger a delete, that data will remain in the ODS until a resync is done. |
| Resync | If a record is in the Ed-Fi Identity Mapping table and not in the ODS, it will be deleted from the Ed-Fi Identity Mapping table. |
| Resync | If a record is in the ODS and it does not have a matching record in Campus or the Ed-Fi Identity Mapping table, it will be deleted from the ODS. |
| Resync | If a mapping is changed in Resource Preferences, a resync will need to be done to reflect the changes. |
| Resync | When doing a resync, look to make sure the Grading Task is still mapped in the Grades Resource Preferences prior to sending. |
Natural Key Changes, Cascading Updates, and Deletes Logic
This table describes the Natural Key Changes/Cascading Updates and Deletes logic of this object.
| Action | Trigger |
|---|---|
| Delete/Post | If the Natural Key changes: If the School Number/Ed-Fi School Number changes, a delete/post will occur with the cascading deletes from the School ID Change triggers. |
| Delete/Post | If the Grading Period Descriptor or Sequence changes and a resync is completed. |
| Delete/Post | If the natural key changes or the record is deleted, the Sessions Grading Periods reference will be updated. |
| Delete/Post | If the natural key of Grading Periods changes, all existing dependent data will be deleted or moved to the correct Grading Period. If a grade has not been posted yet and a Grading Period changes, a resync on the Grades resource will need to be completed. |
| Dependent Resources | Sessions Reference, Grades |
