Campus Community / Admissions Community regarding our intentions for PDL for SAT
As promised, here’s a brief update for the Admissions Community regarding our intentions for PDL for SAT. Thanks for your assistance.
Currently, the Prospect/Admissions Data Load (PDL) update for the January 2015 bundle is targeted to include:
- File Parser Setup associated with the SAT including:
- Field Conversion Definitions
- Context Definitions
- File Mapping Definitions
- Calculated fields as needed to support loading the SAT to Campus Solutions
- Common Attribute Framework
- Common Attributes to support additional data elements where needed
- Transaction Setup
- New Transaction Codes
This targeted delivery of the SAT PDL templates is based upon the current SAT format. We recognize that the SAT file format will be changing. As we’ve done with other test layouts where the format has changed after delivery of the original templates, we plan to provide guidance to our customers that may include additional TOI (Transfer of Information) recordings, Knowledge Management documents (available via My Oracle Support), etc. We will also be discussing the SAT layout change specifically as part of a scheduled session at the HEUG Alliance 2015.
