Objective

This article outlines the expected workflow to upgrade your existing instance of Paradigm to be ready for TCSI.

Complexity: EXPERT

Page Contents

Introduction

There are potentially two rounds of Paradigm code updates that our providers will need to complete prior to entering TCSI Read-Only mode. Providers who have been long time users of Paradigm are likely to be running on an older version of our code-base and these Provider systems will need to be upgraded to the latest version of our code-base before further TCSI migration work can begin. Silverband continues to work with the providers who are in this group to schedule the upgrade work and then assist the relevant users to migrate their workflows to the new software version.

TCSI System Preparation

Note

With the scope of the TCSI solution, there are two status fields that are required to be reported. Rather than creating new fields for these elements, we linked them to our status item table.

  • Providers are required to open the System tab from the side menu, click on Search Status Type button. In the search box type in ‘Enrolment’, and click on Search Status Types. If more than one row of data is returned, choose the row for ‘ENROLMENT_STATUS’ by clicking its blue hyperlink at the left side of the screen. For each listed status item, click on its pencil icon to edit the record. Each enrolment status item must have matching entries for the HEIMS Unit of Study Status Identifier and HEIMS Course Outcome Identifier. Only status items that have this correct mapping will be sent to TCSI. Once each status item has matching values, click the Save Status Item button and proceed to edit the next status item in the list.

  • Complete entering data for the courses provided by your institution. This will need to be completed before you can enter any course admission records.

  • Complete the set-up tasks including campus records. This will need to be entered and completed before you can enter courses on campus records and this data will not be imported from HEIMS.

  • Complete the set-up tasks for units on campus. This will need to be completed before you can add any unit enrolment records.

Recommended Post Migration Data Update

The following list outlines various separate updates that Silverband will implement on each Provider database to ensure that historical data is converted, and where necessary, uses the newly introduced TCSI elements.

  • Convert year long indicator - e622

  • Convert basis for admission new packet element e358 only for new records ?

  • Convert basis for admission new packet element e327 only for new records ?

  • Convert disability into new packet element e615 - only for new records ?

  • Copy e572 from course enrolment to student - only for new records

  • Copy e573 from course enrolment to student - only for new records

  • Copy e574 from course enrolment to student - only for new records

  • Convert e493 to e620 - only for new records
