| As has been mentioned on the SR, the three files have been quarantined. That means that the processing has found a defect in the file and rejected the whole file as a result. Where a file is quarantined, it is not processed further, none of the content is loaded, and there is no APC file that we can supply. As noted on the initial response, the issue here is that we found the same TPN more than 40 times in a single file. It is a fundamental of the interface that “Bucket” positions should not be used. There should be single occupancy positions. The process allows for multiple applicants to handle job-shares etc, but if there are 40 applicants being loaded for a single position, something is clearly wrong. Looking at the three rejected files, I can see two distinct problems. One is that there is clearly use of Bucket Positions with multiple applicants to each. The other is that in some cases the files contain the same applicant for the same position multiple times, clearly an error in the data coming from TIS. Some of the Positions that are affected are; LDN file;
KSS File;
PEN File;
If your developer reviews the files that were sent to ESR, they will be able to see these examples, and many others (I simply imported them into Excel, sorted and did a count). |

Outcome
6 June - ESR will not change the applicant limit
ESR response to Trust
We are aware that there have been issues with the Junior Doctors interface and a number of applicants not loading.
This was raised with us by HEE on 4th June. It has been investigated, and HEE were advised on 5th June that the data sent to ESR was incorrect and could not be processed.
We have advised HEE of what needs to be corrected to ensure that applicants can be loaded.
As the interface is working correctly, this isn't something that we can fix
