2020-12-21 22:02:23 -0500 set url result for section id=27868 with Canvas courseId=414000: result status=Failure and result message=Unable to find Class/Term CombinationWhen I reported this error to Marian Groce mariangr@umich.edu, Tena White tlwhite@umich.edu, and Nicole Guerrette nhurbain@umich.edu, Marian responded with the question, "Can you tell me which term these are for?"
I will try to find the data to tell her what the term is, but it would be helpful for error messages to include details like:
- Host it is running on
- Full path to the data file(s) being processed
- Other relevant data (In this case, what is the term being used?)

The source of the problem is at https://github.com/tl-its-umich-edu/canvas/blob/dc77dfd1601f2ae2e2179239cc45c983459d1ec5/SIS_import/sis_set_url.rb#L687
Two options:
I think I remember some prior discussion where this isn't that important anymore because most students just access directly rather through MPathways. This was more useful back in the CTools days, so that leans toward just disabling the email.
