Patron Dump Process

 

Student Load
Run daily as students are registering for classes through the drop/add period.

1 - (Once a semester thing) Check and update expire date file on server.  Usually a few days after last of day of classes is a good date.

2 - Run ZORVLIB process in Banner. Once you type it in, select, "Go." Ignore the Process field.

  • Set Printer to database (this makes a log file accessible to you - you can troubleshoot problems from that)
  • 01 Process Term Code =current Term code:
    • yyyy08 for Fall
    • yyyy02 for Spring

Faculty/Staff Dump Process

 

Faculty Staff Load (Generally run about once a week or so)
