LDN - Luminis Developer Network

SCT Banner Administrator

Our direct client in Oklahoma is looking for an SCT Banner Administrator to join their team and assist with a brand new Banner implementation. This is a full-time, on-site contract-hire or a direct hire opportunity.

The ideal candidate will be able to work on different modules of SCT Banner i.e. Student, Financial Aid Module and AR. He/she should also be responsible for both the functional and technical operations for the Financial Aid and Student Module.

Experience with Luminis Portal a plus.

Sometimes, I have to rebuild Luminis user accounts. Usually I export the user's full calendar data, then delete the account, recreate it, then import the xml file back into the new account. But I lose...

1) the user's calendar sets and
2) their subscribed list

Anyone know an easy way to maintain this information so the user doesn't have to rebuild these items on their end?

Thanks,

MLC

Hi folks,

I am attempting to create a new fragment in Luminis IV. The fragment is easily created in the Fragment Manager; however, the new fragment's owner is set up as "dlmf_24" (or some other generic account).

How do I change the owner for the fragment (to an account like "newfragment-lo") so that the fragment can be managed by that owner?

If this answer is in the byzantine documentation, please point me to that. I have had no luck so far....

Thanks in advance!

I'm always impressed when I see other schools usage statistics and graphs. Unfortunately, Luminis does not seem to have any built-in tools for gathering an analyzing usage stats. So, I wanted to create this as a place to compile hints and tips.

To get a rundown of unique logins each day, you can run this against your /opt/luminis/logs/session.log file(s):

grep "user login:" session.log | awk '{ print $1 " " $5 }' | sort | uniq | awk '{ print $1 }' | uniq -c

Output will look like this:

94 2008-05-08
90 2008-05-09
26 2008-05-10
10 2008-05-11

I left SunGard about a year ago and went to work for a nonprofit called Network for Good. We're currently sponsoring a mashup challenge, and I thought someone from LumDev group might be interested in entering the challenge -- either by proposing a Luminis mashup, or something else. Here are the details:

If you're a Web 2.0 enthusiast, strategist, or developer interested in giving back and using the Web to make it happen for social good, this one's for you!

Description

Group Activity

This channel will list all groups and courses a user is a member of. For each group/course if there has been recent activity (defined as activity in the last 7 days) they will be provided with a link that will take them directly to that new content.

We're running Luminis Platform 4.0.2.0 and have a timeout issue in Production, where, despite the setting below, if employees leave their browser sesion idle for about 20 minutes they get a 'Server Failed' of 'Session Expired' message:

configman -g session.employee.timeout
240

We've turned on DEBUG for the session.log and can see that eployees are correctly allocated a 4 hour timeout at login. We can even see them being timed out 4 hours later but, after 20 minutes or so, if they click on a tab, they are kicked out and nothing is dropped in the logs.

This information provided here for archival and documentation purposes

The answer as to whether Luminis IV could recover from a database restart was 'sort-of', with conflicting responses. It ended up as defect #1-3J67MJ, now resolved. The resolution appears in the documentation for the IV.1.0 upgrade.

Here's a summary of what I found out myself and from the RC:

we have purchased verisign ssl and wondering why the luminis portal can't use https://website on the URL line; it instead redirect to http://website...but once login the https appears on the email, admin side.....

Any idea or suggestion will be much appreciated.

As promised at Summit 2008, attached here is the code and documentation for the U of S custom Luminis API. This API exposes portal data to your application developers.

I'm not sure if the installation instructions are complete; if you do try to install this API, and you stumble on anything, please let me know. I'd like to make the instructions as good as possible.

Thanks,
Todd
