Subject: Upcoming SAIG Message Class File Update

On May 13, 2011, we will send the message class "MESSAGTB" via the Student Aid Internet Gateway (SAIG) to all user mailboxes. The EDconnect transmission software will automatically request, download, and import this new message class table with a user’s next connection to the SAIG network. Once the MESSAGTB file has been imported, the new message class table will be used from that point forward.

Message Class

We will add a new message class for the Central Processing System (CPS).

CPS Message Class

We will add a new cyclical message class for CPS to the message class table. This message class will be used in conjunction with the 2011-2012 version of the ISIR Analysis Tool. The 2011-2012 ISIR Analysis Tool will be released in mid-May and will be available through the FAA Main Menu of the FAA Access to CPS Online Web site.

The message class is as follows:

Message Class Description
IATX12OPIA Tool SSN List Export

Update, Import, and Installation Information

The message class table update will be transparent to users except for an Import dialog box, which will appear on a user’s screen and display the progress of the import as the file is importing.

The new message class table file will also be available on the Federal Student Aid Download (FSAdownload) Web site in the "Software and Associated Documents" section.

Using Multiple Networked PCs

If a user has performed a network installation of EDconnect, the new message class table will import into the EDconnect database on the user’s network drive. Individual workstations will all have access to the new message class table after it has been imported.

Using Multiple Stand-Alone PCs

If using the current version of EDconnect (version 7.2), the message class table will automatically download and update EDconnect on each PC that initiates a transmission.
