Posting Admission Transactions
After you have reviewed a transaction and corrected the errors, you can run the search/match/post process from the components itself by clicking the Run Search/Match/Post button. On clicking this button, you can run both processes at once: to search for matching people in your database and to post the transaction according to the Search/Match parameters you set up on the Transaction Setup component. The latter happens if Search/Match identifies an ID that needs to be created or updated or if the applicant was a returning user and used a User ID already tied to an ID. In either way, the system uses the identified ID (EMPLID) to post the data. Alternatively, you can use the Constituent Staging and Application Transactions components to correct multiple transactions and then run the Transaction Management process to post the multiple transactions to the Campus Solutions database.
To process transactions in batch, use the Transaction Management process. If you had defined your admission transaction as either offline or online with the Process Search/Match option set to Batch, use the Transaction Management batch process to process these transactions. However, if the system knows the EMPLID for the applicant, then the transaction is effectively treated as realtime. The Transaction Management Process component offers different options on how you can process one, all or only a certain set of transactions. For processing a certain set of transactions, Population Selection can be used.
Regardless of how the application is posted (manually or in batch), the system looks at the Prospect Setup page of the Application Configuration component to determine if a prospect should be created and if 3Cs should be inserted into the 3C Trigger Results table for the ID created or updated. In addition, the system determines if additional actions should be taken on the prospect record based on the Update Data check box in the From Application to Prospect section of the Installation Defaults - AD page.
