PDSAT Sampler 2023-2024

Created

Hi all,

 

Has anybody had any luck in using the new PDSAT sampler for the 2023-2024 funding year?

 

We have now attempted on three separate occasions to run our most recently uploaded FIS return (for return four) through the sampler and on all three occasions it has failed.

 

Is anybody else experiencing issues?

 

Many thanks

 

Emma

It just started working for me yesterday, yay...

I have tried a few times today and has failed each time.

Hope it helps.

Hi Emma,

Thanks for your email.

Please note that samplers for 2324 are not yet ready and are not part of the 2324 release yet, we will let you know as soon as there’s been an update regarding this.

Hi, has anybody had any luck or updates on whether the 23/24 sampler is available to use yet? Still not working for us! Thanks

Hi, 

I managed to get it to generate a sample in January, but when i went to use the spreadsheet, none of the functionality to create the B3 error report, or the Error analysis was working. 

 

I received what appeared to be a generic email last Friday (2nd) saying not to try and use sampler until a further comms was sent out on Monday 5th February, but i've not received anything since Friday.  Has anyone else?

It's worked for me this morning, using the 2324.4 version of FIS to create the base file. Initially the file had disabled macros, but when I unblocked it everything has been working as expected, including B3 generation. 

Andrew Dickens

Thanks Ben James i've literally just uploaded a return for processing so i'll give it a go this afternoon and report back.  Out of interest, have you been previously able to generate B3 this academic year?

Ben James

Up to now, no. Prior to today I hadn't really been able to get the Sampler to work at all, having raised a ticket in December when various submissions were failing.

Hi All, 

Further to Bens comments, i can confirm i've also successfully run a claim through PDSAT and generated a sample with full functionality :)
