[sims] CENSUS Error 2905

[Superius2014]

Morning all,

 

I am getting an extremely annoying error code on the census 2905 (attached below)

 

I have checked the end dates and they all match. On the course section on the main screen of the census and on the post-16 programme of study. I have done a bulk update and the error is still showing (135 students approx.)

 

This is my first time doing it, I have the 2 million page document and i can't seem to find another solution.

 

Has anyone else experienced this before?

 

Thanks

When a school clicks on 'Calculate Programmes of Study' in the Post-16 Programme of Study application (Tools | Academic Management | Course Manager | Post-16 Programme of Study) the Planned End Date for the programme will reflect the latest planned end date for the pupils membership of their courses in Maintain Course. The planned end date stored in the Post-16 Programme of Study is then written directly to the return file when the school clicks on Create & Validate in the census application.

On the face of it, writing of planned end dates directly from the Post-16 Programme of Study application seems to be justified in all circumstances, but this has turned out not to be case, as some of you will have discovered in your dry runs when validation error 2905 is triggered. This validation is triggered when a pupil has a learning aim with a planned end data that is after the planned end date of the programme to which it 'belongs'.

 

Schools can already solve this problem by using the bulk update facilities of the Post-16 Programme of Study application to change the programme planned end date in line with the learning aims planned end date in the Learning Aims panel of the census application.

 

can you see the newsfeed they know about this. But you might need a patch.

Yeah that document was the one i used to make sure i hadn't missed anything. The last section sounds like there isn't one yet. Just wondering if anyone had fixed it themselves.

 

Thanks

 

'If we are able to provide such a patch, it would be safe for all schools apply, but it will only by absolutely necessary where the issue is triggering validation error 2905. See graphic at the start of the newsfeed item.'

thanks @coolhands for providing the link. I had just wondered how to get Jim Haywood's updates, can't get used to Capita's new support site.

I have opened a log with Capita. I had one of their staff remoted into my system for over 70 minutes and couldn't see any problems with my information. Hopefully get this patch or a resolution soon!
