LDN - Luminis Developer Network

If you are working at a university or other institution that makes use of the Luminis portal application delivered by Sungard Higher Education and you're wanting to set up a channel that pulls in survey links from Scantron's Class Climate system for students to fill out course evaluations, this recipe is intended for you.

Very new to Luminis.  Is there a guide for implementing a Twitter and/or Facebook channel?  It thought it would be easy to find info on this but I keep hitting dead ends in the maze.

Thanks!

We've programmed a portlet-channel that calls the banner database and retrieves/displays a students status.

For the most part it works well, but occassionally we get users complaining the that system gave them different data (applicants saying they see an "accepted" status, and then a few minutes later seeing the correct status of "still processing").

Here is the U of S Classified Ads channel for use with Luminis 4.  Again, we use the Luminis Oracle database to hold our database objects (tables, sequence) so if you want to use a separate database for classifieds you would need to modify the code.

There are a few parameters that you need to supply when creating the channel.  I've taken a screenshot of those parameters.  Some of them need explaining:

I was curious to see if anyone was currently using the Wireless TA or Facebook portlet in version 4.2.  I would like to know if you have found any pitfalls to either of these features.  Also, were there any costs to your college in sending  Wireless TAs to the students who subscribed?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I have been successful in creating channels but i am having problems with the audience.  The system automatically assigns public to the audience.  I cannot find a way to change this.  I am probably just missing something in the manuals.  Any help would be awesome.

Hi all

We are working on the last piece of migrating our luminis 3.3.3.64 to IV - Banner INB, SSB and luminis channels for Banner.  The instruction from Sungard do give me lots of headache.

Could any school kindly give me a Demo of their works in luminis IV?  I just like to see how it looks and works, thanks!

Thanks in advance.

Hopefully this is a simple question, does anyone know how to enable more than 3 entries to show in the announcements channels? 

I'm not sure I'm proceeding down tha right path here, but I'm trying to creat a channel that will give  faculty a report showing the enrollments for the classes they will be teaching.

SQL-wise this is easy, the difficult part is we want this in an Excel spreadsheet.  How are other universities doing this?  It doesn't have to be at the Luminis level so no matter what level you've pursued this at, I'd like to hear about it.
