DEX: Improved Visibility for Staging Errors

In PowerSchool’s Data Exchange (DEX), data staging errors can occur due to variety of reasons when the SQL used to generate the data fails. Common causes include key‑constraint violations, single‑row sub-queries returning multiple rows, and syntax issues.

The DEX system now identifies and reports staging errors more accurately. When a staging failure occurs, the process logs the issue clearly and avoids showing misleading success messages based on cached data. Treating these failures as publishing errors improves visibility for users and helps them take corrective action.
