This job exports course enrolment records for eligible students to the Government eCAF Portal using the government's Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). It also opens submitted eCAF records for revision on the Government eCAF Portal if required. It precedes the Import HE eCAF Details job (STAJ2090) which imports records from the Government eCAF Portal. When accessed and run from the main menu, the job will perform bulk processing based on the parameters selected on the form. The job is also called via Student Connect applications ECAF and SAHLP-PRTL to perform immediate processing for an individual when this feature is enabled for the eCAF Type in the Maintain eCAF Configuration form (ENRF02A0) (i.e. the Immediate Transfer “To Government” check box is selected). |

|
The following course enrolment data is exported from Callista SMS to the Government eCAF Portal. The Comments column indicates if a change to the data prior to or on Census Date will trigger an update to the enrolment record.
| Field | Source | Comments |
|---|---|---|
ecafType |
HECS-HELP, FEE-HELP, FEE-HLP-NU or SA-HELP |
|
initialEmailAddress |
PERSON_GOVT_EMAIL_ADDR_V.EMAIL_ADDR |
A change in this field before the student has submitted the eCAF (prior to or on Census Date) will trigger an enrolment data update. (The government does not allow or require this email address to be revised on a submitted eCAF.) An additional custom source trigger (TRG_PE_AR_U_ETDTL) has been created to capture changes to the email address. It will need to be modified by clients to align the email address type with the email address used in PERSON_GOVT_EMAIL_ADDR_V. |
givenNames |
USI_PERSONAL_DETAILS.FIRST_NAME if it exists. |
A change in this field (prior to or on Census Date) will trigger an enrolment data update. |
familyName |
USI_PERSONAL_DETAILS.FAMILY_NAME if it exists. |
A change in this field (prior to or on Census Date) will trigger an enrolment data update. |
hasOneName |
If the Given Names is NULL and the Surname is populated in the SMS, set this field to ‘true’, otherwise set to ‘false’. |
A change in this field (prior to or on Census Date) will trigger an enrolment data update. |
middleNames |
USI_PERSONAL_DETAILS.MIDDLE_NAME if it exists. |
A change in this field (prior to or on Census Date) will trigger an enrolment data update. |
dateOfBirth |
PERSON.BIRTH_DT |
A change in this field before the student has submitted the eCAF (prior to or on Census Date) will trigger an enrolment data update. The government does not allow the date of birth to be revised on a submitted eCAF, so institutions will need to liaise with the government to remedy an incorrect date if the student has submitted the eCAF. |
gender |
PERSON.SEX |
A change in this field (prior to or on Census Date) will trigger an enrolment data update. |
residentialStreetAddress |
PERSON_ADDR_GOVT_PERM_V.PERSON. ADDR_PART_1 concatenate PERSON_ADDR_GOVT_PERM_V. ADDR_PART_2 |
A change in the residential address (prior to or on Census Date) will trigger an enrolment data update. An additional custom source trigger (TRG_PA_AR_IU_ETDTL) has been created to capture changes to the address.This trigger will need to be modified by clients so that the address types in it match the address types in PERSON_ADDR_GOVT_PERM_V. Note that if the student advises of a new address to be effective in the future, an enrolment data update will not be triggered (even if this new address record will be effective as of Census Date). |
residentialSuburb |
PERSON_ADDR_GOVT_PERM_V. SUBURB_TOWN |
Refer to comments for residentialStreetAddress above. |
residentialState |
POSTCODE_SUBURB_STATE_V If it is not found in this view, then the State will be derived based on the Postcode (PERSON_ADDR_GOVT_PERM_V.POSTCODE) using the existing procedure STAP_GET_GOVT_STATE. |

Unlike the other fields exported, the student can edit the USI on the Government eCAF Portal. Consequently, STAJ2090 will check the value in the eCAF record returned from the government against the value stored in Callista and generate an error if it is not the same. |

censusDate |
Derivation of the Census Date for new enrolment records is provided in a custom source object (STAP_GET_ECAF_CENSUS). It is delivered with Student Unit Attempt (SUA) based logic sourcing the earliest future Census Date based on all the Teaching Periods the student has a SUA with the status of ENROLLED, INVALID, or COMPLETED. However, the custom source nature of the function allows it to be modified by clients to suit other methods of deriving the Census Date. |
If the enrolment record is updated, it will use the original Census Date that was derived when the new enrolment was first exported to the Government eCAF Portal. |

This will assist administrators in identifying citizenship changes that may impact eCAF eligibility. Note that if the student advises of a new citizenship to be effective in the future, an error will not be triggered (even if this new person statistics record will be effective as of Census Date). |
