The operation now includes three new parameters:

  • Param 1: Profile Name - indicates the Ed-Fi profile to process. Enter the exact profile name as shown on the dashboard or type "ALL" for all profiles.
  • Param 2: School Year - indicates the school year to process. Enter the school year or type "ALL" for all school years.
  • Param 3: Resource Name - indicates the resource to process. Enter resource name or type "ALL" for all resources.

When a student has a membership share with more than 10 characters an error occurs preventing the record from publishing. This issue has been resolved so the membership share is truncated to 10 characters to prevent the error from occurring.
