All updating goes through the same edits that occur if the data is entered via a CICS screen. This is more appropriate for updating SIS since much updating involves more than one table. Each institution has a separate set of VSAM datasets. The ROSA screen upload is being used to enter grades. The ROSA screen containing the list of students in a class is downloaded, the grades are entered on the client side, and the changed records with grades are uploaded.
Most screens are candidates for uploading.
The first step loads the transactions and the second step processes them. All uploads are batch. A file is FTP'd from your server to the mainframe. Contact Susan Enslen for the screen layouts and specific instructions on the upload process. These processes are handled on a case by case basis.
