Luminis IV.x

Luminis IV (and future dot releases)

The CodeStorm Concept

I posted an article  to announce a collaboration effort I'm calling CodeStorm.  You can read more about it here.

We've already had some great ideas about possible projects to collaborate on.

One that has had a little more activity than the others is searching

I'll create a new thread called Portal Search and we can further discuss how to achieve this successfully since people have shyed away from this function.

JSP to get pdsLoginId (revisited)

I have seen several posts prior about using JSP to get the pdsLoginId, but have been unsuccessful as of yet. I have tried using several iterations of the following code. It seems to be an issue of the getAttribute method. I get null returned with any iteration of getAttibute. The getFullName method works fine. We are running Luminis 4.3, and I assume this is uPortal 2.6.1 (according to version.class in uportal.jar). Any help would be appreciated.

private String getThirdPartyID(HttpServletRequest hsr)
throws PortalSecurityException

StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();

DBMS_LDAP: cannot open more than 63 LDAP server connections

We're getting the following error messages in our Luminis portal channels, but only in the Employee channels. The student channels appear to be OK.

Pre-populating a PHP Form with Name and ID

I'm attempting to pre-populate a php form with name and ID. I understand that I can pull that information from the iPerson object. I'm not sure how to do this inside of the form, though. You can view the form at https://csudb.csu.edu/webforms/withdrawal.php. I've already added the form to the Luminis server. Any assistance in getting the name and ID into the corresponding fields would be greatly appreciated!

What to change when a Luminis 4 portal node moves to a different server?

We currently have two Sun servers. For load balancing reasons (that turns out weren't needed) we have core for "production" on serverA and its web servers on serverB. Similarly the core for "test" is on serverB and its web servers are on serverA.

We now have the need for ALL of "production" to be on serverA and all of "test" to be on serverB. In my current thinking, we will leave the "core" nodes where they are (serverA or serverB) and will just move the web servers to the server where the core resides.

Moving Lum4 Resource Tier

It seems we have to get off of our current Luminis IV resource tier (we are in parallel deployment). The choices I have are to P-to-V it and go with a virtualized Resource Tier, or to go on to new physical hardware.

In either case the Ellucian method is to follow the replication steps outlined in their admin guide. Is that truly the easiest way? Has anyone ever done this, or doeas anyone have any tips/tricks that may assist?

Anyone migrate Luminis IV from sparc solaris to lunix x86_64?

We had plans to Migrate from Lumins 4 to Luminis 5. From what I can tell that's not going to happen, as it appears no one has successfully in production yet. So that means we will be sticking with our current Luminis 4 system for a couple more years. It's running on old sparc hardware (7 - T2000's 7 front ends and 1 calendar) and (2- v890's 1 ldap and 1 mail. We have changed our mail setup to use gmail for students and weboutlook for staff and faculty. We are going to need to at least upgrade our sparc hardware...we would prefer to migrate to RedHat x86_64. Anyone have any experience doing either one of these? I would think that staying on sparc is possible, but would really like to change platforms. Thanks!

Banner Web Servey Tool in Luminis - Survey Not Accessible Off Campus

We have successfully created a deep link to a Banner Web survey that we are using in Luminis. However, the survey is only accessible while on campus (wireless or hard wired). Our other SSB links work off campus and I am trying to figure out how to ensure the survey is also accessible remotely, and without using VPN. Thoughts?
