What's on the horizon?
A new way of receiving transcripts!
As part of the IDTS project, PESC Transcript Software, a Java system is being developed to accomplish many of the functions for which OUS campuses have traditionally used EDI.Smart.
Input:
• EDI file (ASCI X12 transaction sets, processes ts130 and ts131, others may be present but are not processed)
• EDI.Smart files from Banner (control, data)
• PESC XML transcripts
Process:
From the command line: Java -jar TranscriptConverter_v1_1_0.jar [programSpec]
Where programSpec is one of:
• TS130toPESC
• PESCtoTS130 [xmlFileName]
• PESCtoPDF [xmlFileName] [pdfFileName]
• EDISmartFlattoTS130
Settings are loaded from TCUserSettings.properties
Settings include:
• Database connection information
• Acknowledgement (ack) storage options (incoming)
o Storage type (filesystem, database, none)
o directory
o createPDF
• Institution Data storage options (used by ESFlat2TS130 process)
o Storage type (filesystem, database)
o directory
• Directory locations
o Incoming
o Outgoing
o Ack_in
o Ack_out
o Config
o Work
o Log
o Xsl
• ESFlat2TS130 setup information
o Control file location
o Data file location
o Output file name
o Bundle acks from incoming TS130 processing into output file
o Output directory
• File output options
o createPDF
o createACK
o archiveIncoming
o debugLevel
• TS130 processing filename setup (same for XML,PDF, and ACK)
o filenameParts
o filenamePrefix
o characters to be replaced with underscores
o upperCaseStudentName
• XSL files
o PESC_2_PDF
o TS130_2_PESC
o PESC_2_TS130_1
o PESC_2_TS130_2
o TS130_2_TS131_1
o TS130_2_TS131_2
o ESFlat_2_TS130_1
o ESFlat_2_TS130_2
Output:
• TS130
• TS131
• PESC XML transcripts
• PDF version of PESC XML transcripts
PESC Transcript Software compiles using java version 1.4.2_08 and has been tested on Windows, Linux and VMS
