** IMPORTANT NEW S RELATED TO RPAMNEXT **
The new version of RPAM started rolling out to states several
months ago. We had been unable to confirm that the database schema
for where we pull data from had changed until just recently. It
turns out they left the old database schema in place for the tables
we were pulling data from, but moved the actual data into new
tables. The end result was that our applications continued to
function, but were pulling old data from prior to migrating to the
new version of RPAM.
This can cause the following issues:
- The calculations for "Total Service for Retired Pay" could be
incorrect and based off of old data.
- The NGB23 that our systems pulls will be the last version that
was created prior to the migration to the new version of RPAM. This
includes:
- The "RPAM" link on the NGB22 page.
- The new functionality to automatically send the NGB23 to PERMS
after the NGB22 has been signed. o PERMS Integrator's RPAM
functionality.
To avoid these issues do the following:
- Always double check the NGB22 periods of service with the
official RPAM NGB23 statement generated from RPAMNext.
- Do not use the "RPAM" link on the NGB22 page until we get a fix
for this.
- Turn off the setting of "Automatically pull the latest RPAM
NGB23 and send it to PERMS" under Discharges -> Settings. NOTE:
If you don't see this, then you are not on the latest version.
- Do not use PERMS Integrator to export RPAM NGB23s to PERMS
until we get a fix for this.
We hope to have a fix available for this in the next couple of
days and will send out another notice when it is available. In
addition we are working on some SQL that could identify any NGB22s
where the "Total Service for Retired Pay" does not match up with
what is in RPAMNext.
