[sims] Automated import of assessment results files

[Esteban_Child_of_the_Sun]

We have a lot of schools who import what seems to be ever increasing number of assessment manager results files from other system on a regular basis. All they have to do is Routines | Data In | Assessment | Import, select the file, click next, next, select all, next and finish. They never need to alter any of the settings or match students (there is another process in place to make sure they match) but even so they have to spend a couple of minutes for each file.

Does any one know of any way to automate this with a script?

I well versed in transforming XML files so if the data is needed for a tool as a csv I can always write a script to convert it, but everything that is needed for successful import is contained the assessment manager results file.

Does anyone know of any companies that import assessment data in to SIMS who may have such a tool?
