📄️ Guide for setting up a custom Ed-Fi build

EdFi implementations fall into two categories, ‘vanilla’ implementations that do not have any extensions and can be deployed from the binaries that are supplied by EdFi, and ‘custom’ implementations that have extensions and seed data are require that Ed-Fi be built from source. This document describes one common approach for setting up your source code control for these custom implementations. These recommendations are applicable for all versions of Ed-Fi from 3.2 – 6.1.

📄️ Monitoring Sandbox Activity

During the stage of an implementation where different vendors and districts are interfacing with their own sandbox ODS instances, it can be challenging to track what resources have been submitted by which parties.  The attached script will loop through the ODS instances on a MS Sql Server database, and for each instance it will look at a collection of tables to see how many records have been submitted and when the latest submissions (either as updates or inserts) were. These results are sent to a temporary table, and at the end of the query the temporary table is deleted.
