Elaine,
We also had an issue with the import of ERN but it turned out it was a
Tribal issue. It has now been resolved and we are able to import ERNs
without any issue.
Thanks

Ditto Stephen's response for here. We have one occurrence per year for
registrations, and one per year for certification claims. Dated entries
have to have the month specified so these are one per month. There's no
EBS functionality for named on demand.
Results importing is not good for us as we have historically set up the
qual codes as 4-2-3 (e.g. 3748-01-010) yet the results come in without
the middle 2 (complex) nos. so incompatible. I think there were other
issues too but can't recall - just know that it really wasn't worth us
changing our EBS data for.
ENR importing is not good for us anymore either which is problematic -
we've been investigating the issue on and off for about a year now with
no joy from our MIS team or from CG L

Subject: RE: EBS and exams basedata import
I've never had a lot of luck importing city & guilds basedata into EBS,
and last time I checked the current schema in the new client was not in
the right format. However, they may have fixed it. Regarding board
occurrences we tend to use just one occurrence (1112/00) for all
registrations, and only use monthly ones for "dated entries" (ie
component entries in a particular month).
Hope this helps.
Stephen

Any ideas? I have no idea what we do as I don't administer any of the
C&G exams.

Subject: EBS and exams basedata import
Hi, we're about to implement the EBS exams module, and have been
advised by a couple of other colleges that we should create multiple
board occurrences for each exam board. So for example for City & Guilds
we would set up 1 board occurrence for Jan Registrations and another for
Jan Results, then the same for Feb, Mar etc. Giving us 24 board
occurrences for that exam board. Apparently this makes it easier to
manage our data and edi uploads.
The problem is that when we try and import the basedata into EBS we have
to select a board occurrence to link the basedata with. Does this mean
that we have to do 24 basedata imports? It's going to mean having lot of
data clogging up our database! It looks like we're going to have to
manually enter our exams data, which seems like a laborious process. Is
there any way of getting round this?
Thanks for any help anyone can provide on this.
Come along to our next event:
Open Evening, Tuesday 27th March, 5-8pm <http://bit.ly/xsEW9e>
