[ctcLinkfinaidsupport] FA Weeklyish Bulletin 10-7-2022

Mon Oct 10 10:10:20 PDT 2022

Good morning FA users!

We would like to clarify the bullet point about typos in file path.

Typos in file paths when running Pell outbound and DL outbound by any college leads to a No Success and will block the path for all 33 colleges. The alerts you have seen on this listserv stating "CRITICAL Pell and Loan Outbound Processes are Down" are tied to colleges making errors on file paths. When this happens, we try to work immediately with the user to get the file path fixed and path unblocked for everyone.

Typos in the file paths when running Pell inbound or DL inbound will not lead to a No Success and will not block the path for all 33 colleges. It is problematic in its own way in that if you do not have a process of checking the SFA_COD_IN Success message, you may go for a while thinking responses were loaded for your college when they're actually not.

Example of DL inbound Success and file path error.

Please be very careful about typos in file paths when running any process. 😊

Thank you!
Debbie

Knowing is Half the Battle!

• Super Helpful Reminders and Tips!

o   THOU SHALT NOT (Please? ☺)

•  THOU SHALT NOT IGNORE THY JOBSETS ☺

•         Please monitor your Jobsets each morning.  If any parts of your nested JobSets, or JobSets themselves failed, please reach out to fasupport at sbctc.edu<mailto:fasupport at sbctc.edu> immediately so we can help you resolve it.

•  PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL WITH ENTERING YOUR FILE PATHS WHEN OUTBOUNDING/INBOUNDING COD FILES

•       When working in Inbound or Outbound pages, and anywhere a file path and file name is required for outbounding or inbounding, please copy the file path from the Upload/Download page and ensure it is for the intended the specific business process step.  The file path is case-sensitive and needs to be exact for it to work.  If there are hand-keyed typos or errors in the file path, the process stops for ALL 34 colleges in the CTC System.  That means no college FA Office will be able to inbound or outbound until the college that keyed in the error works with state board to resolve the issue.  ::no pressure!!::

The images below display a correct example, and an incorrect example.  Can you spot the differences?

                           Correct:

                            Incorrect:

• Query Corner!

o   ARE YOU TRACKING FA LOAD OVERRIDES IN FA TERM?  When you run this query, you can check to see who has an override checkbox checked on FA Term.

•  CTC_FA_OVRD_BOX_CHKD_FA_LOAD

•         Run this query to do a sweep to see who has a FA Load of F, and see if there are load differences.  While reviewing, ask yourself, do any updates need to be made, is data still correct in the award page, the FA Term area, and the student’s enrollment/FA eligible classes?

Just For Fun! 😂 Did you know these things have names?

-       The silent letters in words like ‘knight’ and ‘gnat’ are called apthongs.

-    The person with your name who shows up in your Google search results is called your Googleganger

-    When every move you can make in the game of chess hurts you, you’re in zugzwang.  Think of it as checkmate, but for a pawn, rook, knight, or bishop.

-    Scroop is the swooshy sounds ballgowns make, or more generally, the sound produced by the movement of silk.

-   Arachibutyrophobia is the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth.  Related to pseudodysphagia which is the fear of choking.  Can you say arachibutyrophobia with a mouth full of peanut butter?

-   A group of donkeys is called a pass.

-   A group of wild cats is called a destruction.

-   A group of flamingos is called a flamboyance.

-   A group of hippos is called a bloat.

-   A group of seals is called a harem.

TGIF,
