User Attributes from Banner

We were looking for a way to import staff and faculty department information into Luminis from Banner. At first, I was hoping they would import somehow from the file generated by the ICGORLDI extract program. If you run ICGORLDI with the "07 - Extract Institution Department" option set to B and the "14 - Faculty/Employee Departments" option set to B, you should get both academic and staff departments included in the extract. I think you need to be using the Payroll/HR module of Banner, too.

Luminis IV Calendar Oddity

We were having issues on Luminis IV test installation with getting the SSO to calendar to work (yes, we're a little late in getting to it - still on III.3.3 here). Anyway, we use external e-mail so we configured our tiers as:
tiers = calendar, portal, resource, mail
and added the following to disable mail:
integrated.email=no

Shortening URLs with JSP

OK, attending the Luminis Lounge at Summit was fantastic. It was great meeting people
and exchanging ideas ... and while I'm still motivated, I'll post at least a few things
people asked about and here's number one: the redirect.jsp page

You all know Luminis creates these extremely long URLs like this:

http://portal.yourschool.edu/cp/render.UserLayoutRootNode.uP?uP_tparam=utf&utf=
http%3A%2F%2Fportal.yourschool.edu%2Fcp%2Fip%2Flogin%3F%26sys%3Dsct%26url%3D
https%253A%252F%252Fssb.yourschool.edu%252Fbanner%252Fplsql%252Fbwgksrvy.
P_ShowSurveys

That will SSO you into Banner Self Service's survey page - we use Banner for course surveys
