Monitoring the progress of Year-End Processing

When PowerSchool SMS Year-End Processing is running, the District Administrator can monitor its progress through its tasks. PowerSchool SMS displays these tasks in a Year-End Processing Event Log (which is the only part of the system a user can view when PowerSchool SMS locks down the system for Year-End Processing). If PowerSchool SMS fails to complete a task (and thus stops Year-End Processing), the District Administrator can unlock the system, fix the problem, and have PowerSchool SMS continue.

The tasks PowerSchool SMS displays in the Year-End Processing Event Log include the following:

= Lock down PowerSchool SMS login
= Lock down Task Manager
= Validate Year‑End Processing
= Backup active database
= Create historical database
= Create elementary historical records
= Create secondary historical records
= Update secondary permanent records (for PowerSchool SMS systems converted to Permanent Record)
= Update next-year students
= Preserve active data
= Delete active calendar data before data move to planning calendar: During this event, custom data is deleted from the active calendar before being moved to the planning calendar.
= Move active calendar data to planning calendar: During this event, custom data is moved from the active calendar to the planning calendar.
= Delete active calendar data after data move to planning calendar: During this event custom data is deleted from the active calendar after being moved to the planning calendar.
= Rollover calendars
= Create secondary subject assignments
= Apply day patterns
= Unlock Task Manager
= Unlock PowerSchool SMS login
= Year‑End Processing successfully completed
