Good morning,
Recently, I started using batch mode to import courses and enrollments to Canvas. This would handle those students who switch courses by removing the student from the course. Then, I noticed an inconsistency with cross-listed courses (only courses that are cross-listed directly in our SIS).
Here is the code straight from the XML File

30090.201930 refers to the course SIS ID which is one of the sections cross-listed.
Up to this point, everything seems fine. However, when the course is created in Canvas, the course SIS ID shows XXLSA1201930. It is adding an extra X to the course SIS ID.
Then, when I get a new file, I run the import in batch mode, and it is deleting the course from our Canvas instance. I tried to manipulate the file by adding an extra X, so that it shows XXLSA1201930, but I am getting a completely new course with an SIS ID of XXXLSA1201930.
We do not have an automated integration. We have to extract the files from banner daily.
I like running this file in batch mode because it keeps course enrollments up to date. However, I have not been able to find a solution to this problem.
Any advice or suggestion is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
