Download the full release from the Capita website and install it yourself outside of Solus3. The DB sounds like it's already been done so its just the clients to update.

We don't manage these schools internet service, other providers do. We just have to live with the consequences.

Maybe I've just been round the block a few' more times. We have schools with "line of sight internet" that's dependent upon the weather. Others are on 0.5mb connections with a potential bill of £20K to dig the road and lay fibre. Backup's are a real issue as they are still uploading the next day. The Youtube analogy is a good one, but not every school can get Justin Bieber on demand :-) Forgot to add> 2022 is the year!

Just to clarify who are you criticising? The software provider for offering schools the choice of hosting solutions or the school for hosting on their own servers? Not every school has fibre, especially in rural locations and it isn't always cost effective to pay for hosting depending on your current IT infrastructure. Capita will happily charge £600K+ over 5 years to host their LA system - The cost to replace the existing servers with a 5yr warranty £25k. Paying other people isn't always the best solution. IMO the ability to host iSAMS locally would be a tick in the 'pro' column not the 'con'.

Does it work on the server if you remote in?

Try making a CTF file, then point the Census return at the same destination folder?

Do you get this in the bottom left of the window? Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_#2043898_543848DF222BD200'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo @studentOnRoll'. The statement has been terminated'

It does say for use by "system managers" for problems seen by our help desk. Look like it is for general consumption. Log a call with Capita and see if they will send it you again?

Is this an official Capita tool?

Free rooms > internal truancy? If he's got access to the system and found the documentation he could even make some free rooms via the cover module :-)

Not used the system for a long time, but from memory your out of luck. There is a way of seeing whose entered data or changed things via eportal but not for viewing. The standard eportal admin account used to be created by default in earlier versions of the software allowing any one who new the account details to logon. Also, by changing the string (studentid) in the web address you could view other students/staff details. You need to reset all the staff passwords and send them out ASAP.

You mean this hosted SIMS https://sts.sims.co.uk/login?

What dates did you apply the timetable for?

Same here as well.

You will also need the installable version of SIMS as well.

= Pay Capita for that privilege !

I run this a part of a script to ensure that SQL will install on the server. It installs 3.5 if it hasn't been installed as part of the Server 2012 build. You can run both from a CMD prompt. SET NET_CHECK=0 IF EXIST "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5" ( SET NET_CHECK=1 ) IF %NET_CHECK%==1 GOTO NET_CHECK dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3ServerFeatures dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 :NET_CHECK

Hi - What's your definition of combine? Are you moving from 2 DfE numbers to just 1 number? If so, you will need to run just 1 MIS system to complete the schools/workforce census returns.

Does it work fine from home on the school laptop that doesn't work on site?

Don't think it's possible until FFT roll the system forward a year. FFT will have to update all their models for estimates based on this years KS2 results not being levels and these results aren't in FFT as yet (for schools to view).

In your estimates or for setting targets? For estimates that's your lot I'm afraid.

No is the short answer. If you did the gradeset would not recognise D* entries as these are stored against the students record and they would become orphaned. Either create a new gradeset/aspect or add a new start date to the existing gradeset and include Di* etc and then using a Marksheet/Excel export process, change the grades required and then import them back into the system. Then using the AM tools option, delete all the D* & D grades from the aspect.

You must have some eye watering photos of Phil Neil to get SIMS for free. He's not best friends with Max Mosley by any chance? :-)

Changing Aspect IDs is a dangerous game. We have had data loss in schools in the past from sending out templates that were created across two different Watersedge DBs. The updated templates once imported would substitute another aspect into the template and mix the results between the two aspects. Using ResultSets might reduce the burden of creating so many aspects.
