LIS V19.01 Maintenance Release 2 goes live


The Data Service has published the LIS V19.01 Maintenance Release 2 (19.01.61). This is now available to download from the Data Service website.

Changes to this release include fixes to the following issues:

  • Apprenticeship achievement is not generated where main aims are achieved in the previous academic year

  • The Large Employer Factor is not being applied in some circumstances

  • The Learner Responsive (LR) Funding Claim Report is displaying incorrect learner numbers in some circumstances

  • The Summary of Learner Responsive Report is showing the incorrect Provider Factors. The layout of this report has been altered to ensure it is consistent with the equivalent report in OLDC

  • Entitlement funding and corresponding Standard Learner Number (SLN) amounts are not included in the period totals used in the LR Learner Export and LR Aim Exports.

  • Entitlement funding and corresponding SLN amounts are not included in the period totals used in the LR Detailed Learner and Aim Funding report

  • The Command Line functionality does not clear ILR files from Batch Import between sessions

  • The LIS V19.01 Maintenance Release installation does not overwrite any previous versions of LIS V19.01 that may have been installed

  • An amendment to the R23 Business rule. This rule is triggered if the learner has Employer Responsive aims only (i.e. only aims that have funding model = 45). In previous version of LIS V19.01 this rule will have triggered if the learner had aims that had multiple funding models

  • Other cosmetic fixes to reports.

Reminder: It is important that ALL providers start to use the new data collection systems for 2011/12 (the Learner Information Suite (LIS) V19.01 and the Online Data Collections (OLDC) system) as soon as possible to enable them to resolve any problems with the data collection systems and to ensure that their ILR files are error free in good time before the return date for R04 (06 December).

Users are asked to read the LIS V19.01 release guide and the known issues document before using the LIS V19.01 Maintenance Release 2 (19.01.61), which outlines the functionality available, known limitations and any key known bugs/defects.
