Subject: BACS First Project: Interface specification
SLC is now in a position to provide to HEIs and their suppliers the
interface specification, which sets out in detail the file contents (fields
and data types) and the file exchange protocols which we expect to apply
for the exchange of attendance data between HEIs and SLC. Some institutions
will be using these procedures on a pilot basis in 2002/3 and these
institutions should have received the document; I can provide it for others
who are interested at this stage, or who wish to address now their design
issues for 2003/4. It should however be made clear that the specification
will almost certainly change for 2003/4, following the pilot review in the
Autumn, in response to lessons learned.
We have also sent out the validation rules for SSNs, although these are
already issued as SSIN 06/99.
Please drop me a note at [log in to unmask] if you would like copies
of these documents or any other information about BACS First. These two
documents should be treated with care as they could be used to prepare
false files and records; for this reason they are not on the SLC website at
this time.
