Extract Process

This job uses the generic 'extract table' structure to store extracted data which can be used for the production of Academic Transcripts. A program that uses the extracted data (and data from other Callista tables if required) to produce Academic Transcripts can be custom built by the institution. The program accesses the extracted data via views specifically created for the Academic Transcript process. Extract Creation Processes describes this methodology.

Details of the data available in Academic Transcript views are available in Academic Transcript Extract - View Details

Record Selection

Only Student Course Attempts where the Course Attempt Status is not 'UNCONFIRM' will be selected.

Record Extraction

The extract process creates a record in the S_EXTRACT table that identifies the particular extract job run. It creates corresponding Academic Transcript detail records in the S_EXTRACT_RECORD table.

Output Messages

If a student is deceased a message will be output to this effect. The transcript will not be produced.

If a Student Course Attempt's Correspondence Category does not include the Correspondence Type TRANS-EXT, no extract record will be produced for it and an advisory message will be produced. To check and see if it does include the Correspondence Type TRANS-EXT, go to CORF2200.

If the Correspondence Type has not been allocated to the Correspondence Category, check form CORF2200.

If the Person ID has no course eligible to be displayed, correspondence may have already been produced for this Person/Course in CORF2320.

If there is a relevant Encumbrance applied to a student their transcript will be blocked and a relevant message will be output. If the Person ID has a current Transcript Block Encumbrance, review the details in ENRF6310.

If the Person ID has no current Correspondence Address, review data in ENRF3030. If no Correspondence Address can be found for a student a message will be output to that effect.

Run Details

ASSJ06VE runs only in batch mode, through the Job Control & Scheduling subsystem.

Viewing the Extracted Data

Data is usually processed by the institution's custom-built Academic Transcript creation and printing job. Data can be viewed in the S_EXTRACT and S_EXTRACT_RECORD tables, or in a more useable form in the views ACAD_TRANS_EXTRACT_V and ACAD_TRANS_RECORD_V, using an ad-hoc query tool.

  • Course Responsible Org Unit
    Mandatory - this parameter is a combination of the Organisational unit and Organisational unit Start Date (Organisational unit start date is the date on which an organisational unit becomes effective within the system).Either a Course Responsible Org Unit Code or ALL must be selected. Extract records will be produced for students whose student Course Attempt is in a course with responsible organisational unit matching the parameter. Alternatively if ALL is selected, extract records will be produced for eligible students from all Course Responsible Org Unit Codes. The default is all Course Responsible Org Unit Codes.
  • Course Group
    Mandatory - used to limit the academic transcripts produced to student Course Attempts where the course belongs to the specified Course Group. The default is all course groups.
  • Sector

  • Course Code
    Mandatory - used to restrict record selection to student Course Attempts in a specific course. The default is all course codes.
  • Limit To Course check box

If 'N' is selected, Academic Transcripts will include all of the Course Attempts of a student when any one of their course attempts matches the parameters. The default is 'N'.
  • Include Related Courses check box
    Check (Y) or uncheck (N). Permits the inclusion of related courses on the Academic Transcript. (An example of related courses is Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Arts with Honours.) The default is 'N'. This parameter can only be set to 'Y' if the Limit to Course parameter is set to 'Y'.
