[sims] SIMS 2015 Summer - AMPARK files

[winng]

Is it possible to extract the new AMPARK files, particularly for PoS KS3, without installing the update?

 

I've downloaded the .ISO and mounted the file so I can see the installation files, etc.

 

I've run SIMSAMPARKSetup.exe on one of our schools but don't know if that has done anything useful or not.

 

Any ideas if this is achievable.

 

PS - We typically delay the upgrade until September once the students are back onsite and people are using the system.

AMPARK is not tied to a version so yes.

Just in case Phil missed the reference

 

My understanding is that, if you are a secondary school and referring to the KS3 POS entry screens, these will be activated by application of a database patch to be made available over the summer break

 

and then an import of the resources to SIMS

 

and you will need to update to summer (7.164) if you are to make use of analysis and reporting functionality

 

Cheers

Okay, just upgrade to 7.164 Summer and applied the PoS Patch.

 

Where do I get the latest AMPARK files from?

 

I've run amparksetup from the .iso but that has not revealed the PsS KS3 Aspects.xml file I am looking for...

The files you need are stored locally on your machine in ..\Program Files\SIMS\SIMS .net\AMPA - there are a series of folders for different school types here.

 

These need to be imported via Routines / Data In / Assessment / Import

Thanks @Seb1780 however, the PoS KS3 Aspects.xml is not amongst them....

My bad, PoS KS3 Aspects.xml was bundled in the zip file with the patch (or at least mine were).

I got my patch via Solus3 so no zip, etc,.

The Capita helpdesk kindly provided the xml file yesterday [emoji3]
