Overview

This article provides an overview of identifying and resolving common writeback errors in SchoolEngage, with simple steps to correct data issues.

Table of Contents

Common Causes

A common cause of writeback errors is improper data input on the form. This can happen when essential fields are left empty or contain invalid data.

Reading Errors

Writeback errors follow a specific format and can be broken down into several common parts:

Error

Errors during process:

Errors in MAPSOURCE_NAME data source:

Field: FIELD_NAME Reason: ERROR_MESSAGE

Item

Description

MAPSOURCE_NAME

The name of the map source that the data is trying to pass through to PowerSchool.

FIELD_NAME

The name of the map source field that has invalid/missing data.

ERROR_MESSAGE

The reason this failure occurred.

Resolving Errors

To address writeback errors stemming from invalid data, refer to the FIELD_NAME and its corresponding ERROR_MESSAGE. With this information, identify the form field mapped to the FIELD_NAME and modify the data to meet the requirements specified in the ERROR_MESSAGE.

Example

Error

Errors during process:

Errors in AB PowerSchool Writeback ver.2 data source:

Field: student/schedule/setup/next_school Reason: Next_school is required when sched_next_year_grade is provided

Example Breakdown

Item

Meaning

AB PowerSchool Writeback ver.2

The the data was unable to pass through the map source named AB PowerSchool Writeback ver.2

student/schedule/setup/next_school

The data in filed mapped to next_school is invalid

Next_school is required when sched_next_year_grade is provided

If next_year_grade is filled, next_school must also be populated with valid data.

Example Solution

  1. Find the field that is mapped to next_school

  2. Adjust this form field to have an appropriate school

Alternate Solution

  1. Find the field that is mapped to next_grade

  2. Remove the data from this form field

Note: Both approaches align with the criteria specified in the ERROR_MESSAGE because they ensure consistency: either both fields must be filled, or neither should contain any data.
