Gainful Employment Import

After GE Submittal files are exported and sent to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) for evaluation, the NSLDS may return FVT/GE Error/Acknowledgement files with detail records that require corrections. The returned files are extracted from the Student Aid Internet Gateway (SAIG) TG mailbox and placed on a local drive (EDE Path). From the local drive, the files are available to be imported into Anthology Student. You can use the Gainful Employment Import page to import an error/acknowledgement file.

The import of acknowledgement files involves two tabs on the Gainful Employment Import page.

  • On the Process tab, specify the data selection criteria and queue the job. The job will run in the background.

  • On the History tab, review the result of the background job.

Prerequisites

Procedure to Import Gainful Employment Files

Process Tab

  1. The Campus EDE Path of the user's default campus is displayed.

  2. In the Message Class drop-down list, select one of the following options:

    • Program Error/Ack or File Level Error
    • Student Error/Ack or File Level Error

    The acknowledgement file will list the first five errors on records submitted in the submittal file with error code. The file will contain only a header and trailer record if no errors exist.

    For the fixed width format (Program) Error / Acknowledgment files named GEFVPFOP, the system:

    • Identifies each data field in the GE Error / Acknowledgment file according to the record layout and field definition specifications in the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) FVT/GE User Guide.

    • Identifies all errors for each Detail record within the GE Error / Acknowledgment File.

    • Automatically generates a GE Error / Acknowledgment report after the GE Error / Acknowledgment file is imported. The report displays each Detail record along with all the fields in error and the appropriate error code for each field in error.

    • Keeps track of each imported GE Error / Acknowledgment File along with the Detail records of each file for record keeping and reporting purposes.

    • Generates the GE Error Submittal file in the same data format and record layout as the data format and record layout for the GE Submittal file.

  3. Choose a file in the Available Files drop-down list. The files are named based on the message class.

    • For a Program Level file, the message class is GEFVPFOP.
    • For a Student Level file, the message class is GERFLEOP.

    Once an import file has been processed, it's renamed to BK in the EDE Path.

    Example: GEFVPFOP.001 will be renamed to GEFVPFBK.001.

  1. Select the Queue Import button.

    The Submit Batch window displays the default Batch Name. You can edit the Batch Name.

  1. Select Submit in the Submit Batch window.

    This starts the background job to process the data and create batches asynchronously from the selection criteria.

    The notification “The Gainful Employment Import was successfully queued” indicates that the process is called and in a queue.

    • The job status “Succeeded” indicates that the process is finished with no exceptions.

    • The job status “Completed” indicates that the process is finished with exceptions.
