AzEDS: Student/Staff/Contact Identity: 500 Error Updates

AzEDS Identity processing is updated to account for a change in how ADE processes Students, Parents, and Staff records. The state used to return a 403 error when a Student, Parent, or Staff record already exists in their database but is not yet 'claimed' by a school through a School Enrollment (StudentSchoolAssociation). They are now returning a generic 500 error.

  • This change will treat 500 errors as Dependencies, the same way as 403 errors are handled.

  • This change is applied to 3 resources "STUDENTS", "PARENTS",'' STAFF".

Note: It will be necessary to run "Retry Errors" for Identification, Student Contacts, and Staff Demographics and will need to republish "Student Enrollments" for the schools that they have student enrollments in a Dependency State.
