Data miss-match


It’s amazing how changing a few little attributes can bring down the system.  Some changes to our attribute list in HMS caused our online application import to fail.  It turns out if there is any kind of miss-match in the list of attribute values the import will fail to upload.  After fixing the online web page to match the attribute values in HMS there is still all the students in the database with the wrong vales that will fail if not updated to the proper ones.
