Running the IPS Upload to CAT (Append) and Additional Adjustments Page

Overview

The Institution Planning Spreadsheet (IPS) Load to the Compensation Admin Tool (CAT) and Additional Adjustments Page (AAP) (Append) process uploads data from the IPS to the CAT and AAP for analysis, reporting, and editing.  The IPS Load to CAP/AAP process appends existing data in the CAT/AAP by only adding new, unique employee records or rows to existing employees.

Process Considerations:

  • The process will ignore and not replace data that is identical on all fields that make a unique record.  A record is considered 'unique' if any of the following fields are different when comparing one row to another row within the file and/or CAT:  Effective Date, Employee ID (Empl_ID), Employee Record (Empl_Rcd), Action, Action/Reason, and Change Amount.

IPS Upload To CAT (Append)

The IPS should be loaded to the CAT after all mass changes have been made in the Institution Planning Spreadsheet.  For information on how to use the IPS, please reference Running the Initialization Report for CAT .

1.  Save the "IPS → CAT" tab of the Institution Planning Spreadsheet as a .CSV file.

  • Open the "IPS → CAT" tab
  • Scroll to the bottom of this tab and delete any rows that appear like this:

CAT1

CAT2

  • Save the output file "Name.CSV" under the file menu

2.  Navigate to Workforce Administration > UW External HR Systems > Compensation Admin Tool > CAT Processes > Upload to CAT/AAP

3.  Create a new Run Control ID or use an existing Run Control ID.

  • The Run Control ID is a unique identifier that saves values for the Run Control Criteria.  There is no set format for creating a Run Control ID.  A suggested format is your initials.

922
  • Once the data has been reviewed and any errors in the data have been corrected, the Process and Report mode can be run.  This commits the data to the CAT and generates an output Excel (.xls) file for reference.

6.  Select the appropriate "Inbound File Upload Criteria"
923
  • For File Type, select "Compensation Adjustment"
  • For Business Unit, you can type in your Business Unit, or click the magnifying glass to search for the appropriate Business Unit.

7.  Click the "Upload File" hyperlink next to the Attached File to browse for, select, and upload the CSV file from Step 1.

8.  Once the CSV file has uploaded, press the "Save" button at the bottom of the window.  The screen will appear the same and your Run Control parameters will be saved.

9.  Upload the IPS to the Compensation Admin Tool.
  • Press "Run" at the top right of the window.
924
10.  The Process Scheduler Request screen will be displayed.  Press OK to continue.
925
11.  You will have returned to your previous window.  Press "Process Monitor" at the top right of the window.
926
12.  The new window will indicate the status of your file upload.  When the file is finished uploading, the Run Status will equal "Success" and the Distribution Status will be equal to "Posted."
  • If the Run Status is "queued," it indicates that the file is waiting to be uploaded.
  • Click the Refresh button at the top right of the window to refresh the status of the document.
927
13.  Once the Run Status is equal to "Success," you can download the output.
  • Click the "Details" hyperlink
928
  • Click on the "View Log/Trace" hyperlink at the bottom right of the window.
929

    • A description of the different Header Fields is displayed in the "Output Header Fields" table below.
  • The file will contain Error, Warning, and Successful sections.
    • Review the Error and Warning section of the output.  Use the ERRORMSG column to diagnose the errors and correct if necessary.
    • A description of the different types of error messages is displayed in the "Error, Warning, and Successful Messages" table below.
CAT16
  • Correct the IPS based on the errors in the output file.  Once all errors have been corrected, the upload can be run in Process and Report mode.
    • If the output file contains errors after the upload is run in Process and Report mode, failed rows can also be manually added or edited directly within the CAT program.
  • If saving the output file, be sure to save with the file type of Excel Workbook (.xlsx).
