Summary

ESR sent loads of files and it looks like we haven’t captured everything from. In fact we had but a discrepancy between ESR’s specification and their implementation meant that they rejected the notifications we sent them.

https://hee-tis.atlassian.net/browse/TIS21-1265

Impact

It would appear that applicants would be missing or not sent to ESR.

Non-technical Description

ESR sent through a number of FULL FILES on 1st of March that did not load or fully load/reconcile to then send applicants against subsequently for St Helens & Knowsley Trust. This meant a delay in sending across Applicant Files to ESR.

ESR told us previously that the maximum number of full files they would send us was 3 per week. On w/c 1st of March, they sent through 9 files, 8 distinct with 1 additional.

Trigger

Unexpected number of FULL FILES (RMF) causing an overload on the TIS-ESR interface.
