The file comparison utility is a stored procedure executed within SSMS. When the file comparison utility is executed, a new table is created containing the results of the comparison. The new “comparison” table contains a row for every record in the Legacy and Generate files. Depending on the file specification, the table may include more details for any mismatched records.
A different procedure will be executed depending on the EDFacts file specification to be compared.
Comparing Directory Files
To compare C029 or C039 files, execute the following:
exec Utilities.Compare_DIRECTORY
@DatabaseName = 'Generate', -- Your database name
@SchemaName = 'XX', -- Your schema name
@SubmissionYear = 2022, -- The report year
@ReportCode = 'C029', -- EdFacts File Number – either C029 or C039
@ReportLevel = 'LEA', -- 'SEA', 'LEA', 'SCH'
@LegacyTableName = 'Generate.XX.C029_LEA_2022_Legacy', -- Legacy table
@ShowSQL = 0
Comparing Discipline Files
To compare C005, C006, C007, C088, C143, or C144 files, execute the following:
exec Utilities.Compare_DISCIPLINE
@DatabaseName = 'Generate', -- Your database name
@SchemaName = 'XX', -- Your schema name
@SubmissionYear = 2022, -- The report year
@ReportCode = 'C005', -- EdFacts File Number – C005, C006, C007, C088, C143, C144
@ReportLevel = 'LEA', -- 'SEA', 'LEA'
@LegacyTableName = 'Generate.XX.C005_LEA_2022_Legacy', -- Legacy table
@ShowSQL = 0
Comparing Child Count Files
To compare C002 or C089 files, execute the following:
exec Utilities.Compare_CHILDCOUNT
@DatabaseName = 'Generate', -- Your database name
@SchemaName = 'XX', -- Your schema name
@SubmissionYear = 2022, -- The report year
@ReportCode = 'C089', -- EdFacts File Number – either C002 or C089
@ReportLevel = 'LEA', -- 'SEA', 'LEA', 'SCH'
@LegacyTableName = 'Generate.XX.C089_LEA_2022_Legacy', -- Legacy table
@ShowSQL = 0
Comparing Exiting Files
To compare C009 files, execute the following:
exec Utilities.Compare_EXITING
@DatabaseName = 'Generate', -- Your database name
@SchemaName = 'XX', -- Your schema name
@SubmissionYear = 2022, -- The report year
@ReportCode = 'C009', -- EdFacts File Number – C009
@ReportLevel = 'LEA', -- 'SEA', 'LEA'
@LegacyTableName = 'Generate.XX.C009_LEA_2022_Legacy', -- Legacy table
@ShowSQL = 0
Comparing All Other Files
To compare other EDFacts files, execute the following:
exec Utilities.CompareSubmissionFiles
@DatabaseName = 'Generate', -- Your database name
@SchemaName = 'XX', -- Your schema name
@SubmissionYear = 2022, -- The report year
@ReportCode = 'C005', -- EdFacts File Number
@ReportLevel = 'LEA', -- 'SEA', 'LEA', 'SCH'
@LegacyTableName = 'Generate.XX.C005_LEA_2022_Legacy', -- Legacy table
@GenerateTableName = 'Generate.XX.C005_LEA_2022_Generate', -- Generate table
@ShowSQL = 0,
@ComparisonResultsTableName = NULL
