On Demand Testing – Sync from CASES and Importing Student Details from CASES

Further to Memorandum to School 113 of the 28 November 2008 I advise that the Synchronise from CASES button has been removed from the On Demand application for all government schools who have installed the new VMware (Version 2.31.0, Build 92, Schema 1.8.0) by Tuesday 16 December 2008.

The Sync From CASES… button was originally located under the menu:
Student Tracking > School > View

The VCAA Administrative Support Unit will progressively monitor schools installing the new VMware On Demand Testing application (Version 2.31.0 Build 92, Schema 1.8.0) after Tuesday 16 December 2008 and arrange for the Sync from CASES button to be removed.

As the On Demand Testing application is now a VMware and is not linked to the CASES server, the only way of to enter student details is manually by online data entry or Import the student details into On Demand via a .csv file and the Import Students button.

All DEECD Technicians have access to the CASES upgrade DVD containing the On Demand VMware, installation and restore data instructions and a VBS file which extracts the student details data in the correct format (.csv) from the CASES database.
