Important Highlights

Improvements

• Two new audit jobs have been created to assist ITCs and districts with submitting necessary reports to AOS for both the site and SOC1 audits.  From the Utilities menu you'll select Job Scheduler and click the Create button on the top left of the grid.  Select the "Job Type" drop down and choose either the DistrictAuditJob or the SOC1AuditJob to schedule.  In the event trigger you will enter a cron expression to schedule the specifics and frequency of running the job. Once the job completes, you can review the reports in the new "Audit Files" tab that has been added to the File Archive.  The Audit Files grid will contain 2 entries per fiscal year, one for each of the new audit jobs once they have been executed.  Each of the jobs generate new reports for the prior fiscal year, which is determined by the current period.  The reports are also zipped and securely sent to an AOS server via sftp.  The zipped file names include the district IRN, fiscal year, description and the date and time the file was generated.  
  • The SOC1 Audit Job contains the following reports:
    • SSDT User Listing AOS Extract
    • SSDT Authentication and Password Requirement Configuration Report
    • SSDT Default Breakin Detection and Evasion Rule Report
  • The District Audit Job contains the following reports in TXT format:

Bug Fix

• USPS Integration: improved the retrieval of expenditure accounts based on true active status.  Whether or not the expenditure account is active depends on it's on active flag, the start and stop dates on the account, and the status of it's parent accounts both Appropriation and Cash accounts.  The sync process now was updated to return active expenditure accounts that meet all of the specified criteria.
