Managing Suspended ISIRs

All ISIR records are loaded into the ISIR staging tables before moving into the database. These records are never deleted. You can look at and review an entire batch of ISIR records or you can look at an individual student's ISIR processing information.

After the ISIR file has been loaded from the staging tables to the database, you can view the ISIR data from the ISIR Data Corrections component.

ISIR (Institutional Student Information Record) Suspense Management nn/nn page

Field or Control

Definition

EC Queue Instance/Seq. No

This is the unique internal number associated with the batch to which this record belongs.

Load Status

Displays the status of the student's ISIR record in the ISIR staging tables after the ISIR load process runs. Values include:

Loaded: The record successfully loaded from the ISIR staging tables into the database.

Error: An error occurred while trying to match the record to a similar record in the database. For example, if a batch of ISIR records for the wrong CPS School Code was loaded into the ISIR staging tables, then every record in the batch errors. Errors have an additional Error Code message. Use the ISIR Load Information link to view detailed information.

Skip/Done: Either the record has been successfully loaded into the ISIR application tables or the load program ignored the record because it was instructed to do so based on the ISIR data load parameters or manual set on the Suspense Management page.

Suspended: The record did not load into the database from the ISIR staging tables because the record did not meet the ISIR load parameters. Use the ISIR Load Information link to view detailed information.

Unproc (unprocessed): The FA Inbound process loaded the record loaded into the ISIR staging tables, but the ISIR Load process has not yet be run for the record.

ISIR Manual Load Parameters

Field or Control

Definition

ID

Click the search button to open a search page to assign student's ID to a suspended ISIR.

ID Lock

Select to load the suspended ISIR record into the database to a specified ID. This works with the Add ISIR load option. When both this check box and the Add ISIR option are selected, the system adds the ISIR data to the record identified in the ID field. For example, a record status is suspended but an ID is found for the record. Activating the ID lock causes the record to load if all other ISIR load parameters are met.

Institution

Select an institution to which the selected ISIR loads directly from this page.

Process Dt (Effdt) (process date effective date)

The date the CPS processed this ISIR record. The Transaction Processed date on the ISIR record is used to set the effective date of the ISIR record. View the effective date in the ISIR Corrections component. If an unloaded ISIR record has a transaction processed date that predates the existing active ISIR record, the record suspends with suspend reason #7 – ISIR Tran Num Out of Seq.

School Code

The owning school code of the ISIR that is set when you run the ISIR Load process. When the load process cannot determine the owning school code, the system suspends the ISIR with a suspend reason of Unable to Select School Code. Schools must enter the school code for which the ISIR is to be assigned. Use the ISIR Load Information page to view the school codes listed on the student's ISIR.

Note: You must select one of the school codes entered by the student on the FAFSA or subsequent corrections to the student's ISIR may result in rejection by the CPS.

Alternate Effective Date

To load a suspended ISIR with suspend reason #7 into the database, change the effective date by entering an alternate effective date for this student. The alternate effective date should be greater than the current effective date. You cannot select a future date.

Add ISIR

Select this option to add the ISIR record to the database without enforcing the ISIR data load parameters. The system adds the ISIR record the next time the ISIR Load process runs. When you select Add ISIR, also select the ID Lock check box if you want to force the use of the ID in the ID field. Selecting the ID Lock prevents the system from looking for another ID when it is adding the ISIR. You can also use Add ISIR to reload previously loaded ISIR records.

Recycle

This is set by the ISIR load process if a student's ISIR cannot be loaded into the database because it does not fit the ISIR data load parameters.

Select to cause the system to attempt to load the record the next time the load process runs.

Skip/Done

This is set by the system when the ISIR record has been added to the database.

Select for any suspended ISIR records that you do not want loaded into the database.

Process ISIR

Click this button to run the ISIR load process for the selected ISIR that you want to load directly from this page. Unless you set the Add ISIR load option, the ISIR Load logic and load parameters for new ISIRs are performed.

View ISIR (Institutional Student Information Record) Load Information page

Note: All suspended records have an ISIR Load Action status set to Recycle. All recycle status records that are not loaded are automatically reviewed the next time the ISIR Load process runs.

The ISIR Load process executes the ISIR load rules on individual ISIR records in the staging tables and tests for institutional review status, education verification completed, and for ISIR computation rejects.

The record is further verified to pass the ISIR routing control criteria. If it fails, the process posts a suspend status and suspend reason. Other load rules are performed on ISIR correction or system-generated files.
