EduHub Writeback Setup - CASES21 Schools

This article will talk about how to install the EduHub Writeback sync for a school using CASES21 as its student information system (SIS).

Before you begin

Please make sure you have the EduHub service enabled at the school. To enable this service, your technician will need to create a request to the DEECD's Service Desk. The content of this request should include the school name and school number.

Below is an example of a request to the service desk:

EDUHUB SERVICE
Please upgrade the EduHub service for {School Name} ({School Number}). Services C+P are required.

Before you begin continued...

If you're an on premise school, make sure the school is on the latest XUNO build available here before proceeding.


If you're a hosted school, don't worry - we've already updated you to the latest build.

Timetable

Currently, this EduHub import will not automatically import the timetable data from CASES21. You will need to manually import your timetable data (if you use a CASES21 timetable) until this option becomes available.  

Part 1

  1. Log in to XUNO as an Administrator.
  2. Go to Options > Software Settings > Import & Export Data.
  3. Click the text to download the EduHub data transfer tool under Tools & Utilities.
  4. Open the downloaded .bat file in a text editor to ensure the following:
    1.  XUNO_INSTANCE= - Make sure this is equal to your Instance ID on the Options > Software Settings > Licence & School Information page.
    2. XUNO_URL= -  Make sure this is the same as the external URL that is used to access XUNO.
    3. XUNO_SCHOOLID= - Make sure that this is the 4 digit school number
    4. Normally, none of the values above need to be changed, but a quick check will help to ensure a smooth installation.
  5. Once you have made sure the .bat file has the correct information, you will need to copy this file over to the Admin File Server (AFS). Placing it any where will be ok as long as it is on the AFS.
  6. Once copied to the AFS, simply double click to run the .bat file.
  7. The .bat file will do the following:
    1. Download the latest version of EduHub Writeback from the XUNO server.
    2. Extract it to a temp directory.
    3. Install the script with the school's details.
    4. Create one scheduled task to run automatically every 30 mins to an hour. 
    5. Starts the task to import data into the XUNO database.
    6. Once done, the setup has been completed successfully.
