  1. An Update EDFacts Shared State Solution (ES3) An Open Source Approach to doing EDFacts 26th Annual MIS Conference February 13, 2013

  2. Original EDFacts Data Flow

  3. ES3 Architecture/Data Flow

  4. Why a Third Party Had To Do This • States have been more than willing to share their efforts • State Specific Codes or Assumptions Built into the Routines • Documentation is “Spotty” • Most Solutions not Designed for Easy Customization • ESP Had To Do This • Multiple Clients • Multiple Approaches • Each a “Work for Hire” with Public Funds • Deep Understanding of the Pain

  5. State Customization • State Config(each Reporting Year) • State Name, Postal Code, State Agency Number • Root Path to File Storage Directory • Email Notification “From:” Address • State Characteristics • Charter Schools • Grade 13, Ungraded Allowed • State Code Translation Table • Reporting Period • Code Set Name • State Code • EDFacts Code

  6. State Customization (con’t) • Submission File Characteristics • EDFacts Settings: Header Record File Name, Header Record File Type, Data Record Table Name • Submission File Subdirectory • Zip File Password (optional) • Invalid Records File Name • SSIS Configuration • Database Locations • Reporting Period • Success and Error Email Recipients (To and CC)

  7. Consistent and Robust Template

  8. Web Front-end Being Developed

  9. Features • Standard Microsoft Stack • Very Modular • Customization for a Specific State Compartmentalized • Lots of “Eyes” • Email Notification of Processing Results • Attachments are Zipped and Can be Password Protected • System Logging • Validation Reports • Management and Operational Reports

  10. Progress • 70 submission packages developed off of 15 unit record staging tables • Additional submissions from state aggregate data sources • Success with multiple data source types: • SQL Server • Oracle • Excel • Access • Text Files

  11. Lessons Learned • Directory • Code Sets • Inconsistent across state systems • Translation is one-way • Core EDFacts from far fewer staging tables • SLDS may not be ready on our schedule • Getting coordinator support in heat of submission cycle • Next few months will tell us if better off cycle • Need to be better at collaborating with state partners • The source queries • Staging designs • Not everyone does what they are “supposed” to • Added staging flags for “include” at each level, submission

  12. Plans and Schedule • Finish Final 17 Files Due Now through June • Back-fill Files Skipped Over in the “Heat of the Moment” • Expand and Install UI at States • Build Review and Validation Reports • Build Management Reports

  13. Benefits • Based on CEDS and Other National Standards • Shared Risk with Other States • MO, SD, ID, TN, USVI • Minimized and Shared Maintenance • You Own and Can Manage • Multiple Users and Development • External Coordinator Back-up • Distributable File Creation

  14. ESP EDFacts Experience • Ground Floor EDEN/EDFacts Design Support to USED • Designed and Built the EDFacts XML Validation Schemas and XSLT Transform system • EDEN State Site Visits (2003 and 2004) • Multi-state EDFacts Reporting • (DE, LA,NC, NH) • SEISS Team Nobody Has More Experience
