With the 24-25 implementation of Ed-Fi API data submissions to TEA, OnDataSuite (ODS) is accepting your TSDS CSV downloads as an alternative to the Stop Promotion process (utilizing your latest promoted Ed-Fi API data set into ODS).
What does that mean in ODS?
- Once you have finalized a TSDS Submission (PEIMS or Core), you may download from TSDS the submission final CSV files and load them into OnDataSuite to ensure your ODS reporting reflects the same data as you accepted and completed in TSDS. This equates to you loading your final TSDS XML submission files in the pre Ed-Fi years (23-24 and earlier). Example below of a PEIMS submission upload.
What occurs in ODS once this process begins?
- Once the CSV upload is confirmed , the TEA Ed-Fi IODS Connection Submission Schedule is disabled (turned off) for that submission. *Note the message : This collection has been disabled because a CSV file was uploaded. To re-enable it, please delete the associated CSV file and reactive the collection….
- Any previous promoted submission records are deleted in OnDataSuite.
- Entry in File Center – Ed-Fi API for that submission is deleted and all related Dashboard and Report data.
- CSV File is processed and all reporting in Dashboards/Reports are based upon the CSV file upload for that submission.
Once the files are processed, if you find discrepencies with the Final TSDS PDM reporting, please submit a ticket to OnDataSuite and attach the respective PDM report from TSDS.
