GetTimetable/EduMate

Prerequisites

The semester start date has to be week 1 (day number 1 to 5) in the timetable. Extraction will not work correctly if this is not the case.

DNS or IP address of the Microsoft SQL server where the Synergetic database is stored.

Increase identifier

This is only used in UMS when there is 2 or more administrative systems of the same type extracted into the same UMS database/installation.

This must match the one under the data source for templates.

Add year to groupname

When UMS extracts classes from Synergetic it will add "_FileYear" to the end of the groupname.

This must match the one under the data source for templates.

Add semester to groupname

When UMS extracts classes from Synergetic it will add "_ActualSemester" to the end of the groupname. This comes after FileYear if it is selected.

This must match the one under the data source for templates.

FAQ

UMS uses this for SQL extraction

select *
From vStudentTimetableFullAll
JOIN FileSemesters ON (FileSemesters.FileYear = vStudentTimetableFullAll.FileYear) And (FileSemesters.FileSemester = vStudentTimetableFullAll.FileSemester)
LEFT JOIN pvCommunity ON vStudentTimetableFullAll.StaffID = pvCommunity.ID
Where
StudentID = 15731
And ClassCode = '08Sci3'
order by ClassCode

The CREATE UNIQUE INDEX statement terminated because a duplicate key was found for the object name 'dbo.ImportFromDB_SkemaBrikker

This could be the result of someone scheduling the same class with PeriodNumberSeq = 1 and PeriodNumberSeq <> 1

It will give an error that ends with something like this.

The duplicate key value is (04-02-19_08:40_09:43_PKMQ_2019_1, 1)

This can help find the problematic timetable block. Decipher it like this

1. Date = 04-02-19
2. Start time = 08:40
3. End time = 09:43
4. Classcode = PKMQ
5. FileYear = 2019
6. ActualSemester = 1

The date is calculated based on 2 weeks schedule. This means the date is not too useful.

You can look in UMS using this SQL to find the Day number

Select *
From ImportFromDB_TimeTable_Synergetic
Where
Skemabegivenhed_ID = '04-02-19_08:40_09:43_PKMQ_2019_1'
