07/100 : LIS series 14 and 15 Known Issues updated
The Known Issues document for LIS series 14 and 15 (2006/07 and 2007/08) have been updated to describe a new issue:
Unique Learner Numbers (ULNs) may not be imported correctly, which then corrupts ILR file exports.
In some circumstances, Unique Learner Numbers (ILR fields L45, A55, E24 and H37) are not imported correctly by the LIS.
The incorrect imports occur where an ILR file has a mixture of learners with and without ULNs, and learners without ULNs occupy the first records in the file.
In the data viewer, you may notice blank entries against fields L45, A55, E24 and H37 for learners that should have ULNs.
However, this issue then causes ILR files exported using the Batch Import screen’s ILR Export Option or the Export ILR File screen to be corrupted. If an exported file is then transmitted to the LSC’s online data collections system, or loaded back into the LIS, it will produce import validation errors (validation rule I01) against fields L46, A56, E25 and H38, for all learners which should have ULNs.
Suggested action: If you are affected by the issue, do not use the LIS file export functionality.
The Known Issues documents are available from the LIS v14.03 and LIS v15.01 pages. This issue will be fixed in a future release of LIS series 15 (2007/08).
