Windows 11 v24H2

CBS does not currently recommend upgrading to Windows 11 version 24H2
due to potential compatibility issues with some peripheral devices. We
recommend waiting for Microsoft to resolve the issues. We will post an
update when more information is available.

If you decide to proceed with the Microsoft update to 24H2, please
ensure that all devices and software function correctly with CAMS-ii
afterwards. If you notice any issues, Microsoft allows 10-days to revert
to your previous version.

CBI File Export

To comply with the newest Credit Bureau Reporting guidelines regarding the re-use of purged account numbers, CAMS has implemented changes to the Metro2 formatted reporting created for exports to the bureaus.  We will be executing the following changes over the next few weeks for most of our CU’s.

1. With the 5.5.7 release, CAMS-ii began auto-creating the CBI reporting zip file during month-end batch and saving a copy of the files in the CAMS-ii Transfer folder (Back Office > Utilities > CAMS-ii Transfer Folder > zip) Moving forward, the system will retain the last 13 files in the CAMS-ii Transfer folder. The files are named cucbitfl.zip for the current/newest file and cucbitfl.zip1-12 where the 12th is the oldest file. The most current file is the one that should be uploaded to the credit bureaus each month.
2. CBS has disabled the ability to manually create the CBI file via Back Office > CBI > Create Export File until we complete the changes to the account number format to meet the new Credit Bureau guidelines. Please use the cucbitfl.zip file from the transfer folder for reporting purposes instead. The CBI Create button will remain disabled going forward, however, if you find a reason it needs to be re-enabled for your credit union please contact CBS Support using our ticketing system (CTT).

NOTE: Please see the 5.5.7.1 Release Notice for additional details related to the new unique account number format used for reporting including how it appears in CAMS-ii and on reports.

3. CBS will build the file with the segments needed to transfer the account numbers to the new format during the next month-end CBI auto-create. Your credit union will then submit this file to the bureaus using your normal monthly methods.  The account number changes should occur only once, and then the subsequent files will have the new account number format.

NOTE: For the credit unions that utilize the CBS reporting services, you do not need to submit the file, CBS will still handle that monthly reporting on your behalf.  This is informational only.

If you have additional questions or concerns about these changes, please contact CBS Support using the ticketing system(CTT).
