Processing Requests for Registration in IIPS Courses

When you accept a request for registration in an IIPS course, education services requests the following information:

Your IIPS administrator's ID and password, if you have not already supplied them. If you do not know your ID and password, you can get them from the system programmer who installed IIPS.
The IIPS student number. IIPS uses the student number for record keeping. Frequently, installations use an S followed by the student's TSO/E user ID. (For information on changing the default student number that appears on the screen, see Modifying Administration Defaults.)
Whether the registration is to be marked permanent. To remove a permanent registration, an IIPS administrator must supply the student's student number on the IIPS REMOVE STUDENT command. If the registration is not permanent, you can remove the registration after a certain date, after the student completes the course, or after a certain length of time has elapsed since the student last accessed the course.
The location number and area number. The location and area numbers are installation-dependent information that usually identifies the geographic location of the student. However, the numbers can represent any kind of division among students. Your installation defines valid location and area numbers using the IIPS LOC command. The system treats the location as a category under the area.
The type of recording. This is a number from 0–15, and indicates the type of student responses to be recorded. The statistics from the recorded responses are intended for the author's use in course maintenance. For more information, see IIPS/IIAS Administrator's Guide.
The following table shows what types of answers are recorded for each number.

Before Processing Your First IIPS Registration Request

If the system fails at some points while processing an IIPS registration request, the request might be lost. You can see what processing did occur by browsing your ISPF log.

To have an ISPF log, your primary page specification for the log data set must be greater than zero. Make sure that the page specification is not zero. You can see the log data set parameters in your profile by selecting the ISPF PARMS option on the ISPF/PDF Primary Option Menu panel.
