Date: 13 Feb 2008 This notice informs all DPS users that as of 13 Feb 2008, all DPS registration for the following user roles is being suspended. • User Group: Transportation Office o Role: Counseling The ETA DPS registration process for the Counseling role requires a ‘Counseling Office ID’. As of this time, the DPS Counseling Office IDs are not available. This DPS Counseling Office ID will reside in the PPCIG module, which has not yet been moved into production. Once the PPCIG module is available in DPS production, the transportation office user registered as the ‘PPSOPPCIGManager’ must log into DPS and create the Counseling Office ID for each of their counseling offices. Note: DPS uses a Counseling Office ID to manage the relationship between GBLOCs and their individual counseling offices, vice trying to create and manage additional GBLOCs for the subordinate offices. Once each PPSOPPCIGManager has established their site’s Counseling Office IDs via the DPS PPCIG, the ETA DPS registration for the above roles will be reinstated. Counseling offices will have to obtain their Counseling Office ID from their PPSO and at that time, we will require ALL Counseling users to re- register for a new Counseling user id through the published steps via ETA. All Counseling users are required to re-register once the Counseling Office id is set up due to technical registration requirements. At this time, ETA and DPS are required to delete any existing accounts or requests for accounts for the Counseling user role. We apologize for this inconvenience.
