School Exclude, Calendar Exclude, Resource Toggle and Resync Logic

ActionTrigger
NoneIf a resource is toggled to 'OFF' after data has sent, all sent data remains in the ODS but no new data sends.
DeleteIf a resource is toggled to 'OFF" after data has sent and an action is performed that would trigger a delete, that data remains in the ODS until a resync is done.
ResyncIf 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.
ResyncIf a record is in the ODS and it does not have a matching record in Campus or the Ed-Fi Identity Mapping table, it is deleted from the ODS.
ResyncIf a mapping is changed in Resource Preferences, a resync needs to be done to reflect the changes.

Natural Key Changes, Cascading Updates, and Deletes Logic

ActionTrigger
Delete/Post

If any of the following changes in the Schools resource:

  • 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/PostIf the Course Number changes.
