OA Test Harness

The Outside Application (OA) Test Harness enables you to generate a feature file that can be shared with Oracle to help with replication and review of OA service requests.

This section discusses:

  • Generating a feature file to test OA calculation

  • Performing a standalone OA calculation

The OA Test Harness generates a feature file for the 2024-2025 and future aid years that contains:

  • The input fields with Personal Identity Information data removed or truncated sent to the FM NAC that's used in the most recent OA calculation.

  • The response data from the FM NAC that's stored on the INST_CONTROL table, including the intermediate and final estimated SAI calculations, edits, and rejects applied.
