Subject: Upcoming SAIG Message Class File Update
On April 25, 2012, 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 Classes
We will add message classes for the Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) System.
COD Message Classes
We will add two COD System 2012-2013 Rollover Message Classes to the message class table. These standard COD System message classes were inadvertently omitted when the message class table was updated in March 2012.
The message classes are as follows:
Message Class | Description |
DLAD13OP | DL Actual Disbursement List Report |
THPD13OP | TEACH Pending Disbursement List |
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 EDconnect on a standalone PC, the message class table will automatically download and update EDconnect on each PC that initiates a transmission.
