PSSR-175288EFA/EIA Query Fails to Execute After SC_EFA_History VT Migration

Updated the report to run more efficiently. Previously, the report ran slow after migrating the SC_EFA_History virtual table.

For the report to run correctly, you must either migrate both the two virtual tables SC_EFA_History and SC_EIA_History or do not migrate either of them.
PSSR-237342Guardian Email Information displays inconsistently on EFA History page of the Students

Fixed the inconsistent behavior with the table view.

The guardian email is no longer overwritten after submitting EFA history information.

Corrected the EFA History page to refer to the rephrased URL. The old URL values were creating an issue when the application was assigning IDs for the field. The EFA7 field on the EFA history page no longer overwrites the value of the Guardian Email field on the Demographics page.

PSSR-141769Migration of SC Virtual Tables: SC_EFA_History and SC_EIA_History to Database Extensions

Additional References: PSSR-141770

A migration file for a limited number of database extensions has been provided for the following PowerSchool SC virtual tables:

Field Set = State SC Virtual SC_EFA_History
For the migration of a virtual table: SC_EFA_History
Field Set = State SC Virtual SC_EIA_History
For the migration of a virtual table: SC_EIA_History

Detailed information on state-specific database extensions is provided in the Data Dictionary.

For PowerSchool 20.4.0 or later:

  • After this release is applied, the system will auto-migrate the virtual tables if they have not yet been migrated.

For PowerSchool 19.x or lower:

  • Your PowerSchool administrator will need to migrate virtual tables using Custom Field Data Migration functionality in PowerSchool, located at System > Page and Data Management, under the Database Management section. Detailed instructions on 'How to Migrate Custom Fields' is available in PowerSchool online help and the Pre-Migration Data Validation documentation for state-specific data migrations.

IMPORTANT

  • Virtual Table Migration is only available on PowerSchool version 10.1.4 or greater.
  • This is a one-time, irreversible data migration. Back up your data before migrating.
  • If orphaned records are found (those without a corresponding record in the parent table), a message will appear after migration: "Partial migration when migrating virtual table data. Please see log for more detail." Additionally, a message will appear in the log file for each un-migrated record "Partial migration error for virtual table: '...'. No matching parent record found in the '...' table for '...' record with dcid:...." The orphaned record with the matching DCID will still exist in the original virtual table.
