Transitioning from PC Scribe to Web Scribe
- A new version was released with 4.1.5
- You will transition when you are ready
- You should move soon; PC scribe is packing its bags
- All of this information is in the admin guide
- Understanding the new database table
- Copying blocks to new table
- New UCX-CFG020 glag
- Scribe reports
- Running dap16
- Running audits
- Moving from TEST to PRODUCTION
- New database table - dap_req_BLOCK
- Old was
- dap_req_MST
- dap_req_TEST_dtl
- PC Scribe reads/saves changes to the dap_req_mst table
- Web Scribe reads/saves to the new dap_req_block table
- Copying blocks to new table
- The req-MST and req-TEST-dtl data is only copied. it is not deleted
- dapreqs2reqblock <- script to copy blocks from old to new
- Now blocks will be available in Web Scribe
- run once when you are familairiazing yourself with web scribe
- run again when you convert
- UCX-CFG020 DAP14 Use RapReqBlock flag
- While playing around, keep this 'N'
- saving in web scribe will not affect audits
- saving in PC scribe will like usual
- Setting to 'Y', the opposite will happen
- A friendly reminder occurs when you save in the opposite software of the setting of the flag
- dwenv.config -> modify to add the email addresses (dap16, dap22, etc)
- Scribe Reports - run in Transit
- SCRnn reports also obey the CFG020 DAP14 UseDapReqBlock flag
- Run SCR06 after changing the CFG020 flag
- Once flag is changed all reports use the new table
- but yes, you can change the flag back to N
- ODS - need to install the patch since data needs to come from the new table
- Update any of your reports
- running DAP16
- daptrees directory -> compiled version of the block -> used by the auditor
- DAP16 obeys the flag
- So, use DAP16 to recompile the blocks
- If you change the flag back to N, run dap16 again
- Exceptions are still valid; you will not use them
- Tied to a block number, it doesn't change
- Running audits
- GetBlocks - find the right blocks for this student's curriculum
- A database view mimics the layout of the req-mst
- While testing web scribe keep flag to N
- Moving from TEST to PRODUCTION
- Assuming your gold copy of blocks is in TEST
- While testing web scribe keep flag to N
- Switch flag to Y and do previous steps in TEST
- Make changes to next catalog in TEST
- In production set flag to Y in PROD
- If you have RB planner blocks then convert all blocks to new Scribe table using dapreqs2reqblock in PROD (just do this anyway)
- In TEST, unload just the RA blocks: dapblockunload RA testenv.tar
- copy the tar file from admin/datac in TEST to datac in PROD
- in PROD, load the blocks: dapblockload RA testenv.tar
- in PROD, run DAP16 to reparse vlocks in dap_req_BLOCK
- run webrestart and daprestart
- Done
