Mr/Ms Showing up in DisplayName attribute
For quite a while now, we have had a small number (estimate of 5 - 7%) of users show up with Mr or Ms at the beginning of their DisplayName attribute.
I have been unable to determine where this is actually coming from (whether it is programmatic or process-related) and I don't have much access to Banner to do any investigation on that side. It appears to be coming out of Banner, and it causes our Member/E-mail lists in Course Homepages to sort incorrectly.
Has anyone had this issue? Is it an issue that is easily fixed in Banner or LDI?
One of the Banner developers has suggested I script the removal of Mr or Ms from the LDAP once it comes over, but I would rather locate/fix the issue at the source.
I checked the UDC and couldn't find anything there.
Thanks!
Alistair

Check GTVSDAX or GORICCR setting
If this is coming over from the Banner side, check that this hasn't been configured to push over with the event trigger data. If you are still on Banner Intcomp 7.1, check the GTVSDAX Banner form to see if LDIPREFIX has been set to Y. If you're on Banner Intcomp 7.2 or higher, check the GORICCR Banner form for the LDIPREFIX entry. Set this value to N to not send the prefix over as part of the xml tag.
