[sims] SIMS Patch 18525

[pettit87]

Has Patch 18525 appeared on Solus for anyone else?

 

Or does anyone have a copy I can use to patch our SIMS server before tomorrow?

 

The e-mail from SIMS states - 'As you will be aware, number of patches have recently been released to deal with different scenarios relating to the summer examination results. To simplify processes, we have now produced Consolidated Patch 18525 and are in the process of releasing it on SOLUS2 and SOLUS3. The Consolidated Patch groups together the patches listed below and should only be run on the SIMS Summer Upgrade version 7.152. If you check for Patch 18525 on SOLUS3 and cannot see it listed, you will be able to download it from SOLUS2 onto your server to update SIMS'

Nope nothing on Solus 2 here either.....

 

I've run the patch fine but how do I "import the Performance Measures file"?. It says there are instructions on supportnet but I cant find any!

 

EDIT: worked it out:

 

Tools > Statutory Return Tools > Import qualification data

 

Select Performance Measures > Performance Measures XML > Search button > Select the wonderfully titled "Performance Measures ENG and NI ONLY - Copy.xml" and click > Import Performance Files

It's available via both SOLUS 2 and SOLUS 3 now guys.

 

Please note that this patch is only applicable to the Summer 2013 Release (SIMS .net 7.152).

 

Capita recommend re-importing the Performance Measures file following the successful application of patch 18525. They have released a new version with can be downloaded via SupportNet (details below):

 

"A reported problem with Level 1 results not showing half points has been addressed with the production of a new performance file for England and Northern Ireland - SupportNet resource 21498.

 

NB 21498 only needs to be imported by establishments that have level1 results but can be used if sites need to refresh the performance file."
