FRB Prioritized AIM ACR Low Pri List If the approval process were changed from the TPS level to the individual TPC s within the IM I 2000 003 TPS maintenance could be performed on each course or pipeline without having to submit the entire TPS This would further push the TPS towards its intended use of managing an entire rate or group of TPC s instead of each TPC be longing to an individual A Exercise controller Guides are currently not developed in AIM I If ECG s were incorporated into the AIM program it would ensure consistence in format and us age as well as encourage developers to explore the op tion of using an ECG to support their AIM I 2000 004 course recom mend that the ECG become an option for development following the development of the TCCD This way the ECG could support the LP or stand alone as guidance for the instructor and it would also ensure consistency of the learning objectives throughout curriculum It would require an additional module in AIM to parallel the LP module because both the LP and ECG are dependent upon the same foundations When IMPORTING a TPS or Course AIM 1 checks the contents of included PPP tables with tables currently in the database GOOD Well Done excellent validity check However whenever a difference is detected the import process terminates with the error message Line items differ for PPP lt name gt Rev _ Change _ cannot import Determining where what the difference is c
