  Domains & Entities - DA2100

  District Administration > Options > TSDS > Domains & Entities

  This tab is used to extract and send Texas Student Data System (TSDS) data to Texas Education Agency (TEA) for Ed-Fi processing.

  IMPORTANT: Use the ASCENDER TSDS New School Year Best Practice Guide to assist you in making selections of the domains and entities to send to TSDS.

  Submission Levels:

  This tab consists of four submission levels, each including the specified domains and entities per TEA requirements. Each submission level is dependent on the prior level. For example, you must first select all First Level Submission domains prior to selecting and saving any Second Level Submission domains/entities, and so on.

  • Once a domain/entity has been selected and successfully submitted and accepted by TEA, the associated checkbox remains selected and disabled for the remainder of the submission school year (Submission Year).
  • Any changes within the submitted domain/entity will continue to be included in Ed-Fi processing for the specified submission school year.
  • It is recommended that you do not select all Submission Levels during the same instance.

  Additional Dependencies:

  Note: These dependencies originate from Ed-Fi/TSDS but are being separated to enhance clarity and processing efficiency.

  • Enrollment Domain depends on Student Identification and Demographic > Student
  • Student Identification and Demographic Domain > StudentEducationOrganizationAssociation depends on Enrollment Domain
  • Teaching and Learning > Course Offering depends on Teaching and Learning > Course
  • Teaching and Learning > Section depends on Teaching and Learning > CourseOffering
  • Teaching and Learning > StaffSectionAssociation depends on Teaching and Learning > Section
  • Teaching and Learning > StudentSectionAssociation depends on Teaching and Learning > Section
  • Student Attendance > StudentProgramAttendanceEvent depends on Alternative and Supplemental Services Domain

  Saving and Sending Data:

  After considering the above dependencies, select and save the applicable domains. The saved selections on this tab are not dependent on the logged-on user and once saved, will be used in the Extract & Send process to extract and send data to TEA.

  Data transmission occurs in two ways:

  Method	Description
  Automatic	Scheduled extracts run every weekday (Monday-Friday) at 6:00 PM to automatically extract and send data to TEA.
  Manual	Users can initiate data transmission to TEA on demand by clicking the Extract & Send button.

  Note: If a manual data transmission is already in progress, the scheduled extract will not run.

  Extract & Send Process:

  The automatic nightly TSDS Extract/Send process is disabled for prior school years effective the day after the fourth Thursday in August. To generate or send data for a prior school year, use the Extract & Send button.

  Note: The Extract & Send button is disabled if the Ed-Fi API Connection Migration flag is set to Y. This allows only API commands to process data.

  The data is extracted from ASCENDER tables, transformed per TEA requirements to meet the national Ed-Fi data standard, and loaded into the ASCENDER Ed-Fi staging tables.

  ❏ If the Extract & Send process occurs via the automatic scheduled extract, the TSDS extract emails are generated at 6:15 AM. These emails include the TSDS Extract Error report as well as the Prior Year Actuals, Budget, and Payroll reports (as applicable), and are sent to the defined TSDS Extract Errors Distribution List on the District Administration > Options > TSDS > Options tab.

  ❏ If the Extract & Send process occurs manually via the Extract & Send button, the TSDS Extract Errors report is not generated and emailed; however, you can navigate to the District Administration > Inquiry > TSDS Level 1 Errors page and click Extract Errors Reprint to generate the TSDS Extract Errors report from the last instance of the Extract & Send process.

  Notes:

  • The TSDS Extract Errors report is not cumulative and only displays errors from one day.
  • The listed errors are only displayed on the error report until they are corrected.
  • Data errors listed on the TSDS Extract Errors report do not necessarily mean that you will have TSDS Level 1 Errors.
  • TSDS extract errors are typically data errors that require record(s) in ASCENDER to be corrected.
  • If the Extract TSDS database column is set to 0, the Budget and Payroll extract file/PDF will not be generated and sent via email. This discontinues the emails for Budget and Payroll until after the Fiscal Year Close process is done for the current year. If the Extract TSDS database column is set to 1, 2 or 3, the Budget and Payroll extract/PDF will be generated and emailed as usual.

  After the data extracted, transformed, and loaded into the ASCENDER Ed-Fi staging tables, the data is then transmitted in an Ed-Fi JSON file via Application Programming Interface (API) processing to an Operational Data Store (ODS) at TEA where it may or may not land successfully.

  • Data errors are marked as so in the staging tables and listed in the TSDS Level 1 Error Report.
  • You must research errors and correct data in ASCENDER.
  • If you are unable resolve an error, contact your regional ESC consultant for further assistance.

  400	'RESOURCE' failed. 'RESOURCE' reference could not be resolved.	A resource that was referenced from an entity does not yet exist: load the dependency resource first. See https://techdocs.ed-fi.org/display/ODSAPIS3V61/Resource+Dependency+Order ​
  401	Unauthorized​​	Unauthorized. The request requires authentication. The OAuth bearer token was either not provided or is invalid/expired. ​
  403	Authorization denied. The claim does not have any established relationships with the requested resource​​	Likely Causes:​ 1. Your API credentials are not associated with the proper EducationOrganization or Namespace. See information under the section of this guide on “Authorization”.​ 2. The API cannot tie the resource you are creating or updating to a “root” entity for which you are authorized. For example, you may be trying to update a Student, but if that student is not enrolled (via StudentSchoolAssociation) the request will fail, as the API cannot determine that your client is authorized. 3. When the record is person-based (e.g., Attendance, Grades, Section Associations), it usually means the Student, Staff, or Parent record is not in the ODS so the records being sent for that person cannot be created.​
  409	A natural key conflict occurred when attempting to create a new resource 'RESOURCE' with a duplicate key.​​	The Ed-Fi API has a natural key system alongside a standard REST ID system. This error is often protecting against the erroneous creation of a duplicate record in the API. Unique Key Violation, referential errors: particularly anything that doesn't involve people or EdOrgs.​
  409	The resource (or a subordinate entity of the resource) cannot be deleted because it is a dependency of the 'RESOURCE' entity​​	The resource that the application is attempting to delete is referenced from another entity. Delete the other dependent entity first.​
