What:

  • FLD is a PeopleSoft communication letter code used for automated financial aid email communication.

  • The QBU process to assign communication takes place daily at 7:00am
  • The ComGen process to send outstanding assigned communication takes place daily at 8:00am

Where:

  • Query Based Updater: Menu > Query Based Updater
  • Communication Generation: Menu > Campus Community > Communications
  • Communication Management: Menu > Campus Community > Communications > Person Communications

Why:

  • This letter code is used to send notification about loan disbursement / loan disbursement changes. 

How:

  • The communication is assigned using a QBU process with the run control QBU_LOAN_DISB_COMM
  • The communication is sent using a ComGen process with the run control COMM_FLOANS_FLD

Who:

  • The QBU run control is run under SA_SCHED. System Analysts will work with IT when the run control needs to be paused or updated.
  • The ComGen run control is run under account number 702050948.

Other Notes:

  • The QBU queries rely on the AY_ACTIVE_DISB tree node, which will need to be updated each year. 
  • The QBU and ComGen processes are currently run under separate accounts. This was because of an issue where FLD communications were failing to send. During testing SFS asked SA_SCHED to pause the ComGen run control on their end so that we could have more control over the run time. Testing lead us to believe it was a timing issue.
