SAM Enterprise Edition v1.2.2 Server Maintenance Release

Downloading and installing this SAM maintenance release will correct the following errors in SAM:

1. This release will make it possible to update existing user names in a SAM Enterprise Edition database using the CSV/XML Roster Import tool.

The SAM Patch v1.2.2 also includes all of the fixes in the SAM Patch v1.2.1 listed below:

2. This release fixes two SRI-related issues with the roster export feature in the SAM client:

a) For students who have not taken an SRI test, the LEXILE_SCORE is 0 and the LEXILE_MOD_DATE is blank. The fix is that both of these values will be blank for students who have not taken an SRI test.
b) Negative values of LEXILE_SCORE for some students. The fix is that these values will be exported as 0.

3. This release fixes an error in which teachers and administrators are unable to find some students using the student search tool in the SAM client. These are students who are not in any classes with assigned teachers (e.g. students who are only in a 'school-wide' class).

4. This release fixes an error in which teachers and administrators are unable to add periods to user names in the SAM client.

5. This release fixes an error that inadvertently causes district administrators to lose administrator access privileges in the SAM client. When a district administrator first tries to edit a teacher's profile, and then edits and saves changes to his/her own profile, the account is converted from a district administrator to a teacher.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
SAM Patch v1.2.2 must be installed over an existing SAM v1.2 installation. The SAM Patch v1.2.2 may also be installed over an existing installation of the SAM Patch v1.2.1.

SRC! Enterprise Edition v1.2.1 Server Maintenance Release

Downloading and installing this SRC! maintenance release will correct three SRC errors as described below:

1. This release fixes an error in which some students are unable to log in to the SRC student client.When they attempt to log in to SRC!, they receive a message alerting them that they are logged in elsewhere, then click OK to replace other instances, but ultimately are prevented from logging in. Students who encounter this issue may receive either of the following messages:
 a) This quiz has already been taken (c55).
 b) Your session has timed out.Please log in again (c50).

2. This release fixes an error in which teachers or administrators are unable to add quiz scores using the SRC! Grading Tools in the SAM client.For some entered dates in the past, it erroneously displays a red alert message, "The selected date cannot be later than today's date."

SRC Patch v1.2.1 must be installed over an existing SRC v1.2 installation.

SAM-MR-1_2a (Intel Mac Server only)

This SAM maintenance release is intended for Intel Mac servers only. Downloading and installing this release will install a native Intel Mac version of MySQL for Scholastic Enterprise Edition v1.2.

This maintenance release can be run on any installation of SAM Enterprise Edition v1.2, but cannot be run on a prior release of SAM Enterprise Edition. To improve performance of SAM Enterprise Edition v1.2 on an Intel Mac server, it replaces its MySQL binaries with versions that run natively on an Intel Mac server. It does not modify any data in the database.

New SRC! 1.1.1d Patch

This SAM maintenance release replaces the SRC-MR-1-1-1b patch, which caused problems that ultimately prevented certain students from being able to log in to SRC! This release also contains the same fix included in the SRC v1.1.1b patch, which corrected situations in which students got "stuck" with one score in certain quizzes. It also includes a fix to an error that the SRC Patch v1.1.1b caused, which in some cases prevented students from logging in to SRC!
