Overview

If you have not yet updated to the newest Sloopy scripts, please contact School Loop at least two weeks before the start of the new school year. The new scripts are easier to implement, modify, and maintain. Additionally, they support data exports for attendance and our Call Alert feature.

Step-by-Step Guide

Aeries SQL - old Scripts prior to April 2010

• In the aeries_config.txt file for each school, change the value in database.url= to the new school year's database name.

Aeries Access - old Scripts prior to April 2010

• If running as a Windows scheduled task, the properties line needs to read
  .../SchoolYear:XX ...
• Change XX to the current school year and drop the “...”.
• If running "live," the script asks for a school year. Be sure to use the correct value.

PowerSchool Reporting Engines

1. In SchoolloopStudentSectionsExportSQL.rpt, change the termid values for the current year.
   For example, for the 2017-2018 school year the line should be: WHERE (cc.termid = 2700 OR cc.termid = 2701).
2. In SchoolloopSectionsExportSQL.rpt, change the termid values for the current year. For example, the 2017-2018 school year the line should be: WHERE (sec.termid = 2700 OR
sec.termid = 2701)
