Summary: Upcoming SAIG Message Class File Update
On June 30, 2008, Federal Student Aid 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 your 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
Federal Student Aid will add the non-cyclical Conditional Disability
Discharge Tracking System (CDDTS) message class GACDDTOP to the message
class table. Federal Student Aid will use this message class to deliver
to each Guaranty Agency (GA) a monthly report listing CDDTS assignment
rejections and acceptances. The message class is as follows:
| Message Class |
Description |
| GACDDTOP |
GA Accept/Reject from CDDTS |
Update, Import, and Installation Information
The message class table update will be transparent to you except for
an Import dialog box, which will appear on your screen and display the
progress of the import as the file is importing.
The new message class table file is also available on the Federal Student
Aid Download (FSAdownload) Web site, located at http://fsadownload.ed.gov,
in the "Software and Associated Documents" section.
Using Multiple Networked PCs
If you have performed a network installation of EDconnect, the new message
class table will import into the EDconnect database on your 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 you are 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.
