When schools upload data files to the Student Information Records System (SIRS), the person who has uploaded the files will receive emails to confirm whether a file has been successfully processed or has errors/warnings to be addressed.

It is important to note the difference between an email that informs Successful verification of the <Name of the file>.csv and Successful processing of the <Name of the file>.csv.

To have a successful upload of a data file to SIRS, schools must receive the following two emails:

• Successful verification of the <Name of the file>.csv
• Successful processing of the <Name of the file>.csv.

If you receive any of the following emails, you must follow up on the errors to ensure the corrected data file can be uploaded again to SIRS:

• The <Name of the file>.csv has failed verification due to the following errors
• The <Name of the file>.csv has failed processing due to the following errors.

Emails that state ‘The <Name of the file>.csv has been successfully processed but has recorded the following warnings’ should be reviewed.

Some warnings are informative and draw your attention to a particular matter that requires no action. However, other warnings will prevent the record from being successfully uploaded to SIRS and must be addressed.

Any email detailing the errors and/or warnings should be reviewed by the school to determine whether any action is required. If assistance is needed, forward the email with the errors/warnings to dataservices@scsa.wa.edu.au. Failure to follow up on these errors and/or warnings may result in the necessary information not being recorded in SIRS.
