Additionally, here are some follow up items we covered in the session:

Q.  QCS_FA_LOAD_DECREASE_B4_CENSUS is taking 2+ hours to run in Schedule Queries, is this normal?
A. Though we have seen some queries and processes take longer to process in general, 2 hours is not normal for a query.  Before a query moves to production, it must meet timing standards.  2 hours for a query to run is not within the timing standards.  If you ever see a query take this long to process, please submit a ticket to FA Support.

Q.  Are there any queries to identify students in Dynamic-Dated classes for Census or R2T4 purposes?
A.  None exist currently for FA, but there are some listed in this QRG:  https://ctclinkreferencecenter.ctclink.us/m/79555/l/926307-setting-dynamic-class-date-rules   Other schools mentioned their Business Analyst at their school combined some queries to get results for FA Students in Dynamic-Dated classes.

Thank you for your time today,
