Upload CSV files for processing
After you create CSV files from the data in your SIS and add them to a zip file, you can upload the zip file from the Dashboard tab in IPSIS Administration. You can also upload zip files to the SFTP site created during your initial set up. Brightspace monitors the SFTP site on ten-minute intervals for new zip archives.
Important: All CSV files must include differentials only and be zipped.
- From the Admin Tools menu, click IPSIS Administration.
- Click D2L Standard CSV or the custom name for the integration.
- From the Dashboard tab, drag-and-drop the zip file or browse to it on your computer.
Run a batch
In the IPSIS Administration interface, the Batches tab displays a history of all batch processing jobs you run on your system. It includes a summary that links you to the error and audit logs using each batch’s start and end date/time.
If necessary, you can re-run the most recent batch from the Batches tab. Any previous batches or batches in progress generate an error.
The name of a batch's zip folder is visible in batch information in IPSIS, and in the batch notifications. Administrators can use this information to easily identify which locally saved batch matches a specific batch process in IPSIS. The zip folder name is visible in the following locations:
-
On the latest batch status on the IPSIS dashboard
-
Within each batch status on the Batches tab
-
As part of the Batch Identifier in the Batch filter on the Log Messages tab
-
In batch notifications
Note: To see the Batches tab and receive D2L Standard CSV email summaries, the user's role must be configured to Subscribe to Batch Job notifications and the Access IPSIS Administration Console permission is required.
- From the Admin Tools menu, click IPSIS Administration.
- Click D2L Standard CSV or the custom name of the integration. The dashboard displays.
- Click Batches. A history of all batches run on the system display. Expanding the drop-down arrow provides more details about each batch.
- The Re-Run Batch button is associated with a specific batch on the dashboard, making it clear which batch is being rerun. If necessary, select the most recent batch and click Re-Run Batch.
