MCS Software highly recommends disabling ALL scheduled jobs in the Microsoft Task Scheduler, especially enrollment system updates, prior to running the End of Year process. Please If you’re district maintains an on-premise installation of Franklin/MSAClient please confirm this is complete prior to proceeding further.

Are there any other considerations for running an End of Year?
It is normal to see critical alerts once the End of Year process has been completed. This occurs because the system's Scheduled Jobs have not yet been completed for the new database. The critical alerts will clear once the scheduled jobs have been completed (typically at midnight) or you may choose to manually run Scheduled Jobs after you have completed the end of year process.
