Manually Running the MLS Connect Job

The MLS Connect job is a task that transfers student and staff data to your Reading Cloud library management system from the school management information system (MIS). For a number of reasons this job can fail and while it is automatically configured to run every 24 hours, you may wish to run it immediately, without waiting (when troubleshooting an issue for example).

Load the 'Xporter Management Console' application (this should be a desktop shortcut on your MIS server).

Select 'Jobs' on the left-hand side.

Right-click on the 'MLS-Eclipse' job from the middle. 

Click 'Reset Changes'. (If prompted to confirm a data snapshot then click 'Yes').

Wait approximately 30 seconds.

Right-click again on the 'MLS-Eclipse' job from the middle and select 'Run job now'. 

This should now run the job successfully and update the library system with your current MIS data. 

To check the data has been imported into the Reading Cloud, log in as an administrator or librarian user and open the Intake area.
