Using PII to Support Multi-College FA ProcessingPresented by SMCCD/SIG 2006 CONFERENCE October 23 & 24
Introduction 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
Introduction In order of appearance: Edgar Coronel Dave Neil Laurie Neil Sheela Mamillapalli 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
Background • San Mateo County Community College District includes three colleges: • College of San Mateo • Canada College • Skyline College • Approximately 25,000 students attend all three colleges • Over $6.5 Million in Financial Aid disbursed annually. 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
Background • Each college has a unique Federal Pell ID • Home/Host Concept - Enrollment home vs FinAid home. • Consortium agreements exist among all colleges. • At the time, Banner™ baseline was unable to support this functionality. • Local modifications were made to Banner™. 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
Environment • Institutional issues • Campus code “floats” based on enrollment • Differences in packaging philosophies • Campus based aid • Loans • Student issues • Change enrollment constantly • Banner™ issues • SGASTDN campus code drives Pell/COD 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
What is the problem? • Modifications to Banner™ were needed to support multiple Federal Pell IDs • Eventually the mods became • Numerous, complex (COD!) • Required evaluation with each upgrade • Difficult, time consuming and required significant resources to support • Hindered the ability to take advantage of many baseline functions • Financial Aid module not supported by SunGard ActionLine (COD!) 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
Banner 7™! • New features in FA • Enhanced multi-college processing for multiple Federal Pell IDs • New features in General Module • Personally Identifiable Information (PII) restricts access to a group of pidms • Value Based Security (VBS) restricts access to a group of records 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
Development Process • A lot of help from Laurie/Dave • Constant communication with the users • Numerous testing sessions • Users were very supportive and willing to accept change 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
Technology Background 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
FGAC Overview – Oracle™ FGAC • FGAC Overview • VBS • PII • Implementation 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
FGAC Overview – Oracle™ FGAC • Banner™ VBS (Value Based Security) and PII (Personally Identifiable Information) are based on Oracle’s™ Fine Grained Access • FGAC is an Oracle™ Database feature. • Row-level security on any Oracle™ table • Restricts access to an entire row based on a column’s value 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
FGAC Overview – Oracle™ FGAC • Based upon Oracle™ Table Policies • When a table is accessed, Oracle™ checks to see if there is a policy on that table • If there is a policy, the function assigned to that policy is executed 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
FGAC Overview – Oracle™ FGAC • Policy functions determine restriction criteria and create predicate clause • Predicate clause is appended to WHERE clause of the DML (select, insert, update, delete) statements • Restricts ALL applications accessing the database table data, not just Banner™ 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
FGAC Overview – Banner™ VBS • Oracle ™ introduced FGAC in Oracle 8 • VBS is the Banner 7™ interface used to manage Oracle™ FGAC • Create the function and the restriction criteria via Banner™ forms • Does not replace Banner™, Finance or HR Security 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
FGAC Overview – Banner™ VBS • Based on functional processing area (domain) • Payroll • Admissions • Registrar • Financial Aid 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
FGAC Overview – Banner™ VBS • Restrict access to objects assigned to that domain • Printers • Address types • Accounting strings • Not PIDMs, that’s PII! 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
FGAC Overview – Banner™ PII • PII is a Banner™ interface that is also used to manage Oracle™ FGAC • Create the function and the restriction criteria via Banner™ forms • Restricts access to person data only 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
FGAC Overview – Banner™ PII • Oracle™ FGAC select policy on SPRIDEN table • Based on functional processing area (domain) • Payroll: PEBEMPL • Student: SGBSTDN • FinAid: RCRAPP1, RORSTAT 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
FGAC Overview – Banner™ PII • Common Matching Process is exempt from PII • ID Search forms are exempt from PII • For all other forms, it’s as if the person doesn’t exist 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
Implementation 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
Implementation • Created applicant tables, one for each college • Table contains PIDM and Aid Year • Current, previous and next aid year • PII and VBS are based on applicant tables • Driver tables for each college’s FinAid domain 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
Implementation – Driver Tables • Criteria to populate tables • Highest College choice on FAFSA • BOG • SGBSTDN_CAMP_CODE • Each criteria overwrites the previous criteria • Campus code overrides all (COD!) 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
Implementation – PII • PII – can only view personal information for students (PIDMs) in the college’s table • Three domains WHERE RXXXXXX_AIDY_CODE = DriverTable_AIDY_CODE AND RXXXXXX_PIDM = DriverTable_PIDM • Assign domains to business profiles • Assign business profiles to users 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
Implementation – VBS • VBS – created VBS on every FinAid table that has aid year and PIDM • Three groups for each table WHERE RXXXXXX_AIDY_CODE = DriverTable_AIDY_CODE AND RXXXXXX_PIDM = DriverTable_PIDM • Can only process records for the aid year and PIDM in the college’s table 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
Implementation – PopSels • PopSels • Re-enter for each college, referencing that college’s applicant table WHERE RXXXXXX_AIDY_CODE = DriverTable_AIDY_CODE AND RXXXXXX_PIDM = DriverTable_PIDM 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
Implementation – RORRULEs • RORRULE • Re-enter for each college, referencing that college’s applicant table WHERE RXXXXXX_AIDY_CODE = DriverTable_AIDY_CODE AND RXXXXXX_PIDM = DriverTable_PIDM 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
Implementation – Data Conversion • Convert EDE2, EDE3, EDE4 to EDE • Constraint violations • Same Banner SEQ_NO for different transaction numbers • Had to delete duplicate records • Inserted comment into RHRCOMM • ISIR record still exists 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
Implementation – Data Conversion • Duplicate delete order: • RCRLDS8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 • RCRIMP1 • RCRAPP4,3,2 • RCRESAR • RCRAPP1 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
Implementation – Data Conversion • New Form: RZAPIIM • ID and Aid Year in Key Block • Radio Buttons show assigned college • Change college • Reset to original assignment 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th

Business Process Changes 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
Business Process Changes 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
Business Process Changes 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
Business Process Changes Changes: • Dataloads • Reduced from three (EDE2, EDE3, EDE4) to one (EDE) • Suspense • Reduced multiple copies of a record down to one 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
Business Process Changes Changes: • Campus Code (SGASTDN) • Now drives Pell, so cannot be enrollment specific • Disbursement • More tightly controlled; disbursement rules prevent payment from wrong fund/campus combination 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
Business Process Changes Changes: • Campus Assignment • Changes made to student campus assignment, not user campus assignment • Data consistency • Campus code frozen, drives COD; controlled by PII 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
Business Process Changes • Tasks remaining: • Update AppWorx • Develop a routine for working suspense on a rotating schedule • Finalize procedures for student “ownership” and method for transferring • Determine if frozen campus and PII assignment supports student service 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
Benefits • Back to baseline – no mods!!! • FinAid Upgrades easier • More functionality • Actionline support!!! • COD • Consistent procedures across colleges • VBS and PII are easy to maintain once they’re set up 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
Conversion Update • So far so good • A few minor issues (data conversion, PII rule for prior year, form not exempted, etc.) • A small “surprise” with a form where PII prevented a record from being seen and caused a unique key violation 3CBG Conference - October 23rd and 24th
