  11. Logical Delete Threshold Feb 9, 2012 11

  12. Logical Delete Threshold • CEDARS Processing Basics • District sends zipped CEDARS file submission • Contains 13 text files (i.e. Location, SchoolStudent) • Some districts have their SIS vendor send automatically • CEDARS checks files for correct naming and all files • End of above process is considered “Submitted” status • Nightly loading starts at 6:30PM each day • The logical delete threshold evaluation happens during nightly loading Feb 9, 2012

  13. Logical Delete Threshold • What is meant by the term “logical delete?” • Records stored in a database • Use “key fields” to uniquely identify the record • Start date – date we first receive and load the record • End date – date the record is logically deleted and no longer used for any data reporting from CEDARS From CEDARS submission Automatic in databaseDistrict Sends OSPI assigns Key Fields Data Record End Record Start Feb 9, 2012

  14. Logical Delete Threshold • What are the “key fields” for each file? • CEDARS data manual has an indicator for a key field: http://www.k12.wa.us/CEDARS/Manuals.aspx • Chart from Logical Delete FAQ document: http://www.k12.wa.us/CEDARS/TrainingMaterials/LogicalDeleteFAQ.doc Feb 9, 2012

  15. Logical Delete Threshold • A logical delete can occur to a record for 3 reasons: • The record is missing from your current submission. • The record now has a submission exception (error). • A key field used to identify the record has changed in the most recent submission. When key fields change, the old record is logically deleted. Feb 9, 2012

  16. Logical Delete Threshold • Logical deletes can occur: • Without tripping the threshold • Without any submission exceptions (errors) • Due to normal school district business practices • Ex. StudentSchedule records are logcially deleted in high numbers the first week of school Feb 9, 2012

  17. Logical Delete Threshold • Where do I find the threshold settings? • CEDARS -> Submissions tab -> Logical Delete Thresholds • Current default settings are 2% for each file • If the records in the most recent submission would logically delete 2% or more of the existing records, CEDARS does not finish loading the most recent submission. • Changing the percentage for the threshold is now available to CEDARS District Administrators!
