Checklist
Use this checklist and the details below for successful Ods instance registration:
- Data base should exists on the server
With provided District/EdOrg id or school year, the system will generate valid instance name( Database name).

EdFi_Ods_Production database name on web.config = EdFi_{0}
Then generated ods indtance name will be = EdFi_Ods_255901
User has to make sure, the data base( EdFi_Ods_255901) exists on the server.
- Generated ods instance/ database name length should be below 50 characters.
