  1. 2008 Sirius User Group Full Circle – M204 data to a PDF to viewing the PDF from a Janus web page Menu

  2. CNYRIC – Central New York Regional Information Center • Who are we and What we do • SISWeb – Elementary Module update • CNYRIC’s printing dilemma and solution

  3. 13 Regional Information Centers across New York State 1.6+ million students 700+ school districts

  4. CNYRIC – Central New York Regional Information Center • A division of OCM BOCES-Onondaga - Cortland - Madison Board of Cooperative Education Services • Provides services to • 4 BOCES • 50+ School Districts • 225+ School Buildings

  5. Model 204 systems • SIS - Student Information System • SISClassic – 3270 based, phasing into SISWeb • SISWeb – browser based • Medicaid – districts and counties throughout NY state input Medicaid demographic and claim data for clients under age 21

  6. SIS Data • Statistics • 13 Major Subsystems • 100+ Files • 350+ Record Types • 5,800+ Fields • 75+ Million records (17 years) • 105,000+ Active Students • Web Usage 7/05 – 6/06 12,091,691 • WebUsage 7/06–6/07 16,240,990 • WebUsage 7/07–3/08 14,591,295

  7. SISWeb • Administrative Module • Single Student • District Level Data • Downloads • Applications • Attendance (still converting from 3270) • Elementary (new) • Health (new) • Secondary (new) • Summer School • Utilities

  8. SISWeb • Secondary Module - staff • Access based on course/sections • Classroom Attendance • Marks • Assessments • Contact Download • Class List • Elementary Module - staff • Access based on homerooms & subjects • Classroom Attendance • Marks (including use of clobs) • Assessments • Contact Download • Class List • 5/07 – piloting 2 districts • 6/08 – 6 districts – 16 schools – 5,800+ students

  9. SISWeb Printing Dilemma • Existing infrastructure • Elixir for Xerox • develop forms overlays for system printers • ISRV(Delphi client on Windows only) • LPD prints overlays for local printers • Supports a limited number of forms • Client install on every PC • Form changes are made to both products • for student schedules, report cards, transcripts • VPS (Levi, Ray & Shoup) • Used to send line output via TCP/IP • PageCenter (Levi, Ray & Shoup) • Web served output

  10. SISWeb Printing Dilemma • Challenges • ISRV (an in-house product) • Developer retired; no more changes • Does not support MacIntosh PCs • We can suggest but not mandate • which PCs and printers our school districts use • Initial solution • Elixir for AFP • IBM PSF with ACIF • VPS/PCL converts AFP to PCL • PCL chosen because it has a smaller data stream, it is supported by all of the existing printers in the school districts, and it can be sent directly to the printer so it will work with Macs

  11. SISWeb Printing Dilemma • Problem • Debugging overlays very difficult with 3 vendors • Design Pro (includes Elixir for Xerox and AFP) • nasty GUI, lacking functionality, looses mapped field names when opened for update, WYSIWYG proofer and printed version not identical • Solution • Dialogue by Exstream • Much easier GUI, field definitions in dictionary easily reusable/shared • One vendor from development to output • Development environment - Windows based • Production - Runs on NT, UNIX, MVS, LINUX – we use MVS

  12. Dialogue – Why? • Inputs • print miner for legacy print image data • XML input – not using at this time • CSV input • Outputs • PCL • PDF
