Apply Unit Assessment Item Modifications to Student Units

Update Process

The process automatically updates the default Unit Assessment Items and Unit Assessment Patterns associated with a student where Unit Assessment Items and Unit Assessment Patterns have changed. In particular:

• Where a new Assessment Item or new Unit Assessment Pattern has been associated with a Unit Offering Pattern, the Assessment Item or Pattern is attached to students enrolled in the unit
• Where an Assessment Item or Assessment Pattern has been logically deleted from a Unit Offering Pattern, the Assessment Item or Pattern is logically deleted from students enrolled in the unit
• Where any of a Unit Assessment Item's or Unit Assessment Pattern's Offering Option details (Location, Mode, Class) are changed, the Assessment Item or Pattern is:
• Added to students enrolled in the equivalent Offering Option to that newly defined for the Assessment Item or Pattern and
• Deleted from students who had previously been assigned the Assessment Item or Pattern but are enrolled in a different Offering Option to the one newly defined for the Assessment Item or Assessment Pattern

Rules/Notes:

The Exceptions Report provides details of the Unit Attempt Assessment Item and Assessment Patterns for which the update of student records failed, and the action being attempted at the time.

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.
