St Mary's would like to assign the same permanent ID method that Notre Dame uses in order to make the systems compatible. A workable solution would be to give them permanent ID numbers ranging from 70000000 through 85000000. This would make approximately 15 million IDs available to them. In addition, they would like us to reserve 85000001 through 90000000 for Holy Cross College. St Mary's time schedule calls for the ID cards to be generated this December with actual data integration to occur further down the road.
Functional requirements have yet to be generated for the data integration.
All that is being asked for at this time is permission to use the above numbers. I would like to reply to them by July 1st on our decision. I received no concerns over the shared use of permanent ids. Carolyn I hope this is not too late. I don't think you want a situation where 85000000 would be St. Mary's but 85000001 to be Holy Cross.
