Update Process

The process automatically associates the default Assessment Items and Assessment Patterns for a Unit Offering Pattern, with students enrolled in the unit.

• When a student's Unit Attempt Status has changed to ENROLLED, any default Assessment Items and/or Assessment Patterns for the Unit Offering Pattern are assigned to the student
• When a Student's Unit Attempt Status changes from ENROLLED to either DISCONTINUED, UNCONFIRMED, DELETED or INVALID, the student's Unit Attempt Assessment Items and/or Assessment Patterns are logically deleted
• When a student alters their location or class, any of the student's Unit Attempt Assessment Items or Assessment Patterns that are not applicable to the new Location/Class are logically deleted. Where applicable, new Assessment Items and Assessment Patterns relevant to the new Location/Class are assigned to the student
• Student's records that are unable to be altered are reported as exceptions, along with a description of the attempted action and the reason for the exception

Records which could not be processed because the record was locked by another process. In this case the job should be re-run. Most locks are of short duration and will not be present when the job is re-run. Persistent locks may result from 'detached processes' and must be investigated by your Database Administrator
