PSSR-434645

Ed-Fi: Duplicate Student Program Records for No-Show Students Fix

An issue has been resolved where no-show students enrolling in another school within the same district were generating duplicate Student Program records with identical start dates and Resource IDs. The update ensures that only the valid program record for the active enrollment is published and no program records are published for the no-show enrollment.

Ed-Fi: Improved Course Transcript Publishing to Prevent Duplicate Records

The CourseTranscript publishing process has been updated to prevent duplicate records during publishing, which previously resulted in errors (ORA‑00001: unique constraint violation).

PSSR-414781

SCDE Update : Enhancement Added - Partial Transcript Publishing Options

New options have been introduced in the Ed‑Fi Transcript publishing dropdown for South Carolina, allowing districts to publish transcript data by coursework level instead of processing all records at once. Districts can now publish only High School coursework (course codes starting with 3 or higher) or only Elementary/Middle coursework (course codes starting below 3), improving flexibility and performance for targeted updates.

To prevent unintended data loss, these partial publish options do not process deletes in the Ed‑Fi ODS; delete operations continue to be handled only by Publish All and Publish Changes. This ensures that publishing one coursework group does not impact records from the other group. No action is required, and districts can begin using these options as needed.
