Release Notes 11.0
This document provides a description of the technical enhancements to Generate version 11.0 (v11) released in August 2023.
Please note: Generate moved from version 5.3 to version 11 in this release to align with the CEDS Data Warehouse.
Release Overview
Generate version 11.0 is a significant update that leverages the updated CEDS Data Warehouse, better aligns the Generate Staging environment with the Data Warehouse, implements Staging-to-RDS for all migrations, and adds some additional tools to aid in the file migration process.
Some of the highlights of this release:
State ETL changes:
There are changes that will be required for existing Staging ETLs to work for v11 and they are detailed below.
The column names within the Staging environment were modified to adhere to the CEDS naming standards, aligning them with those used in the CEDS Data Warehouse. This is the supporting spreadsheet that helps identify the mapping between previous column name and new column name in the tables that are affected.
These three changes are documented in the spreadsheet, however, are called out here since they will impact each of the Student related tables in Staging.
The v5.3 column
LEA_Identifier_State
will now map toLEAIdentifierSeaAccountability
The v5.3 column
School_Identifier_State
will now map toSchooldentifierSea
The v5.3 column
Student_Identifier_State
will now map toStudentIdentifierState
The Staging.PersonStatus table was used to identify Special Education students by populating:
IdeaIndicator
Idea_StatusStartDate
Idea_StatusEndDate
Those columns have been dropped from that table and a record will need to be loaded into:
Staging.ProgramParticipationSpecialEducation
withIdeaIndicator
ProgramParticipationBeginDate
ProgramParticipationEndDate
to identify the student as Special Education.
There is a new staging table and a new dimension table named IDEADisabilityTypes. In v5.3 there was a single field named
PrimaryDisabilityType
inStaging.PersonStatus
. That field has been dropped. This new table allows the state to load every disability that applies to the student so all of them can be captured. So, if a student is identified with four disabilities, you should load four rows into the new table. There are two flags in the table, IsPrimaryDisability and IsSecondaryDisability. For the purposes of EDFacts reporting set the IsPrimaryDisability flag for the row that should be reported for that student.
