In implementing the new TCSI requirements Silverband analysed the two methods on sending data to the government. These two main methods include TCSI Data Upload (known as Portal method) and B2G real-time solution (known as real-time solution). In the initial specification we considered the TCSI Data Upload method as this matches match closely to with the existing HEIMS reporting with in different file formats. However the government required that updates be sent weekly at a minimum which Silverband thought was to erroneous of work effort to place on providers. Additionally Furthermore, the government recommended suggested that TCSI Data Upload method was only suitable for very small providers (approx. 20 students) where the data is does not changing oftenchange frequently.
According to the government the TCSI web interfaces are meant to be responsive near in real-time. This allowed the implementation of our solution that is known as single touch. The single touch solution allows data to be sent to the government as it saved in Paradigm and return to the interface the response from the web interfaces for the submitted piece of data.

WARNING: Do not change the following fields unless required, always consult Silverband team prior to making changes to the following fields. |
In our solution Paradigm we push individual records one at a time. Due to a change made by the government back in August, 2020. Changing any of the following fields will cause a bulk operation which may take a while in the system. Another impact of this change is that you can no longer have flexible unit enrolments that have a variable start and end dates, and census dates that do not match the scheduled unit.
In this bulk operation the following actions will happenbe taken:
All the unit enrolments will be deleted from TCSI one at a time.
Then the The minimum required fields will be send to TCSI to create the unit enrolment.
Then an An update will be sent to TCSI to completed the record as it stands in Paradigm.

E319 - Previously this field had a dual value either a post code or country and hence code. Hence a separate field in Paradigm. In TCSI this element purely represents the Term Address Postal Code and element E661 has been added to capture the Term Address country code. These address fields have been now mapped to the Semester Address fields for the student and hence . So it has been removed from the application.
E320 - Previously this field had a dual value either a post code or country and hence a separate field in Paradigm. In TCSI this element purely represents the Term Address Postal Code and element . Element E658 has been added to capture the Residential Address country code. These addresses has have been now mapped to the Billing Address fields for the student and hence . So it has been removed from the application.
E330 - This field has been mapped to the Full/Part Time field in Paradigm. It used to be a calculated based on the EFTSL being submitted in the LL file. No action is required to make this work.
E329 - This field used to be located on the course enrolment screen and . It has now been remapped to the scheduled unit screen and as the field Mode of Delivery. This field relies that the code items for this field have the new HEIMS value filled in. Please see video below.
