Publication Date: July 21, 2008 Author: William Leith, Acting General Manager, Application, Operations and Delivery Services, Federal Student Aid Summary: Issue Alert: Available CRWB09OP and CRAT09OP Import Files Not Displayed After Custom Installation of EDExpress 2008-2009, Release 3.0 Posted on 07-21-2008 Federal Student Aid has identified an issue with the recently posted EDExpress 2008-2009, Release 3.0, that impacts the display of available CRWB09OP and CRAT09OP Import files on the Pell Grant, Direct Loan, and TEACH Grant import dialog boxes. This issue only impacts users who run a Custom installation of Release 3.0 (for example, to upgrade from Release 2.0 to Release 3.0). Issue The database update process that runs following a Custom installation of Release 3.0 overwrites the existing path for the import of COD Common Record Response and Receipt files in File Management setup (Tools, Setup, Global, File Management) with a new path that includes an incorrect character between the CRWB09OP and CRAT09OP message classes. As a result of the incorrect character, users will not see available CRWB09OP and CRAT09OP files displayed for import when they click the “Import From: File” button on the Pell Grant, Direct Loan, or TEACH Grant import dialog boxes. Workaround To resolve this issue permanently in Release 3.0, perform the following steps: 1) Go to Tools, Setup, Global, File Management and select the Imports tab. Federal Student Aid will resolve this issue in a future release of EDExpress 2008-2009. If You Have Questions We regret any inconvenience this software issue may have caused you.
