LDN - Luminis Developer Network

SCT Banner Administrator

Our direct client in Oklahoma is looking for an SCT Banner Administrator to join their team and assist with a brand new Banner implementation. This is a full-time, on-site contract-hire or a direct hire opportunity.

The ideal candidate will be able to work on different modules of SCT Banner i.e. Student, Financial Aid Module and AR. He/she should also be responsible for both the functional and technical operations for the Financial Aid and Student Module.

Experience with Luminis Portal a plus.

I'm always impressed when I see other schools usage statistics and graphs. Unfortunately, Luminis does not seem to have any built-in tools for gathering an analyzing usage stats. So, I wanted to create this as a place to compile hints and tips.

To get a rundown of unique logins each day, you can run this against your /opt/luminis/logs/session.log file(s):

grep "user login:" session.log | awk '{ print $1 " " $5 }' | sort | uniq | awk '{ print $1 }' | uniq -c

Output will look like this:

94 2008-05-08
90 2008-05-09
26 2008-05-10
10 2008-05-11

I left SunGard about a year ago and went to work for a nonprofit called Network for Good. We're currently sponsoring a mashup challenge, and I thought someone from LumDev group might be interested in entering the challenge -- either by proposing a Luminis mashup, or something else. Here are the details:

If you're a Web 2.0 enthusiast, strategist, or developer interested in giving back and using the Web to make it happen for social good, this one's for you!

Hi,

Has anyone found a good way of deleting lots of targeted announcement en mass? I can delete 5 at a time via the GUI, but this is not ideal, since we'd like to delete > 1000 TAs.

I see 4 tables in the Luminis db. All have names which begin with TA_.

If we're going to delete all the TAs, can we just clear out these tables?

Are there any other ways of deleting lots of TAs (in case we don't want to delete all of them)?

Thanks.

We're currently running the "old style" banner authenticator process for our single sign-on from Luminis to SSB. We're interested in moving to the new "middle tier" way of doing things.

I've read through the 160 page implementation guide (midtier70401im.pdf). I see the work to be done, but I don't have any clear idea of how many "gotchas" might be encountered along the way that turn an 8 hour task into a 3 week task.

Has anyone created an adobe connect / breeze connector? We would like to impliment SSO from luminis to Adobe Connect.

During summit I was reading up on Subversion (http://subversion.tigris.org/). I came across a blog post that said "the blog you are reading now, is a checkout from a subversion repository.

It got me thinking about how I maintain my test and production systems. In particular, the challenge of keeping track of all the changes across the systems. Several times I've had the installation of a patch on our test systems act differently than the same patch installed on our production systems.

There were several great sessions at Summit about using CAS to integrate external applications into Luminis. I found that it was pretty easy to set up phpcas on a web server and bring a simple php app into a tab in the portal.

I found a Wordpress plugin which will basically CASify Wordpress.

However... when including a Wordpress page in the portal using an inline html frame, I have a problem.

Logging out of Lumnis does not seem to kill the CAS credentials. The user still has access to Wordpress, even though they are logged out of Luminis.

We are trying to connect other systems besides luminis to the luminis ldap, and I just got an error in one of them saying "number of active LDAP sessions exceeded the limit of 63 sessions."

Our server is hardly breaking a sweat, so I don't think it would cause any problems to increase that limit. Does anyone know how to? We're on Luminis IV. Thanks!
