Assumptions

  • The User has understanding of HEPCAT / HEIMS reporting

  • The User has access to HEPCAT

  • The User has an understanding of flat files

  • The User has an understanding of HEIMS Element Numbers

  • The user has an understanding of the Australian Tertiary Education System.

Implications

When producing HEIMS report for HEPCAT the files will be produced in a flat file format. These files are complex and complicated and one space or character in the wrong place can cause the entire file to fail to be imported into HEPCAT and fail data validation. These files under NO circumstances should be altered manually as incorrect data will fail to upload to HEPCAT. As a result, it is almost impossible to track down the error.

The best practice is to produce the report, view the errors within Paradigm,  update the errors within Paradigm and reproduce the flat files. This will reduce validation time within HEPCAT and ensure consistent data submission from one census date to another.

Silverband takes no responsibility for incorrect data if the flat files have been manually altered or edited in any way.
