Reform Alert # 19 - Testing System Changes – ACTION REQUIRED

ORS will open a test environment on October 29, 2012, that will allow your reporting unit to submit and process reports after you or your service providers have made the necessary programming changes (see Reform Alert # 13 - 2012 MPSERS Reform Requires System Changes). All three methods of populating your report can be tested; upload, copy forward, and empty report/data entry. The main focus of the testing process is the enhanced DTL4 record.

Testing is available through November 19, 2012. Batch processing will run nightly, Monday through Friday.

Please use the attached instructions for testing.
