LDN - Luminis Developer Network

Hi,

We are making changes to our database server and in or to keep the service up we want to change that database that is currently being used. Is there a way to do this using configuration files? I can't seem to find where these files would be located. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I'm new to customizing stuff in Luminis so my knowledge of the inner working of Luminis IV is limited. Unfortunately, I'm more of an asp programmer that a jsp programmer so that doesn't help.

We are on 4.1.1.14. Plans are to move to V next year so we have been staying put at this version.

We've created a custom group display for one of our department and have a custom xml log file which writes a user log entry each time a student clicks on a link. We are using GTSession and GTUser methods to obtain user information for the log. Below are two examples

Hello Luminis Developers of the World,

Has anybody else had a problem with database links and Luminis?

We have a number of customisations and local developments that make use of database links to communicate with other databases.

Of course, we know there are myriad other ways to communicate e.g. web services but that is a discussion for another day!

Unfortunately, since Luminis has been installed, all stored procedures containing database links no longer compile.

Apparently Luminis now uses Oracle Streams, a side effect of which, is that local database links do not work.

We are getting ready to convert our DBs to Oracle 11g on Nov 11 weekend and they just sprung on me that we are going with an Oracle SCAN listener on the DB cluster. I checked with SunGard and they say that Luminis 4 has not been tested using SCAN connections. I changed the LMG settings and it looks like it is connecting properly to the Banner DB but I can not seem to get the Luminis DB connection set up properly. When I try and log in, I get past the login screen but I get uPortal errors and nothing is rendered. Is anybody using SCAN and did they encounter any issues with it?

Greetings!

Here at Purdue University, we recently upgraded to Luminis 4.3 as part of a massive re-architecting of our hardware infrastructure. I pushed for 4.3 (Lum5 doesn't yet have all the functionality that we want/need/rely on) largely because of the built in support for analytics and statistics gathering. So, first off, kudos to Greg Skinner and Lehigh for getting SunGard to integrate Luminis Logger into the release.

Has anybody been able to install Luminis 5 using a Microsoft SQL Server database instead of Oracle or MySQL? If so, how did you accomplish this?

We are trying to practice the backup / restore of banner and luminis. one of the scenarios is that if we bring Luminis back to a couple of hours ago and banner stays current. Is there anyway from Banner to re-push the events into Luminis? We thought change the status from "PROCESSED" to "READY FOR PROCESSING" on form GOAEQRM can trigger the events being re-applied to Luminis Ldap, but our test result turns into failure. Has anyone tested this scenarios? Or if you have other ways to make sure the banner and luminis are in deed in sync? Thanks.

Has any one else out there integrated Respondus with Luminis. We're on Luminis 4.x at this point.

We are looking to modify the wireless channel to accept and display more than one number. I have modified the db to allow for this but don't know where to modify the code for the channel. Any guidance would be appreciated!

Does anyone know how to derive the correct member name from the CREATORID from MB_TOPICS. I've been trying to figure this out for a couple of hours and haven't been able to crack this. I'm trying to put together a routine to report recent postings on the message board and everything looks fairly easy, but I can't seem to figure this one piece out.
