5210082328 475x257Type #1 - "Operational Data Store or 'O.D.S.' extract" 

Generating an ODS extract is useful if you want to compare the data in CALPADS to what is in your own SIS system.  Since an ODS extract pulls out the "live" data, you can match what is in CALPADS to your own data to make sure you have enrolled or exited all of the students correctly, to identify students who might be participating in a program, determine the EL status, etc.

There are 13 different types of ODS extract files.  They are virtually identical to the files used to upload data to the calpads system from your student information system, with three differences: the ODS Extract file is structured like the input file with the addition of two fields, (A) the upload date and (B) the last date updated, at the end of each record. Additionally, the (C) Record Type Code will have a ‘-R’ appended to the Input Record Type Code.

SSID Enrollment Candidate List Response

The following sections describe the process and file layout associated with the offline resolution of the Candidate List. This process will allow an LEA to resolve the Candidate List outside of CALPADS through use of a local automated or manual process. The resolved Candidate List, the Candidate List Response file, may then be uploaded to CALPADS for processing of the selected candidate records. This upload process is available only to authorized LEA users granted the appropriate user role by the local LEA Administrator.

After the Candidate List is resolved offline, the LEA creates the Candidate List Response file and uploads the file to CALPADS for processing. CALPADS will process the file and produce one of the following results:

• If errors exist, an error message is generated and the LEA is informed that changes are required 

• If no errors exist, CALPADS will update the disposition of each SSID request in the ODS

Candidate List Response File Content

The Candidate List Response file will contain the resolution of the candidates included in the original Candidate List extract file. The Candidate List Response file will be produced by the LEA. The Candidate List Response file must adhere to the following rules:

• The Candidate List Response file must contain all records included in the original extract file

• The records in the file do not have to be in any particular sequence

• One and only one Select Flag field may contain “Y” for each SSID request candidate list group (where the Request ID fields are the same value).

The content of the Candidate List Response file is listed in Table 42 below.
