Download Reconciliation Data
Before running the Ed-Fi Reconciliation, download data from the ODS for comparison using the Initiate Reconciliation publishing option. This download compares ODS records against PowerSchool data and identifies discrepancies, but does not transmit deletions to the ODS.
-
If the download identifies records that exist in the ODS but have been deleted in PowerSchool, you must publish each affected category to send the deletion transactions to the Ed-Fi ODS.
-
Currently, data reconciliation excludes records from Students, Staff, and ParentContact resources.
Downloads can be run at both the school and district levels:
School level - select the applicable school.
District/LEA level - select the district to process all enabled schools automatically.
Follow the steps below to download data from the state ODS for data reconciliation:
-
Select the Ed-Fi profile under Data Exchange in the PowerSchool menu.
-
From the Ed-Fi Dashboard, click Run Now or Schedule for the resource.
-
Select Initiate Reconciliation from the Parameter Selection drop-down menu. This will start the download for the resource.
-
Repeat this process for all categories that are dependent on the category of interest. For example, if you are reconciling Sections, also initiate a reconciliation download for Student Teacher Sections.
