LDN - Luminis Developer Network

Attached is the perl script we use to check the LDI queue. We run this script on the Luminis host, and set it to query the associated Banner database that would be sending the LDI events to Luminis. It is run as a cron job every 30 minutes.

This script was written to connect to Oracle, but you could modify it for any database that perl DBI has drivers for.

Attached is the perl script that we use to monitor SSO connections across all of our Luminis servers. We run it from a completely separate server, just in case there are problems that could not be spotted by running it on the same box as Luminis. It is called via cron every 12 minutes.

The script used to be used with the old style "Banner Authenticator" method of single sign-on, and it is now working for us using the new "MidTier" method.

I think it should be commented sufficiently well so that you can make this work in your environment, but feel free to ask questions.

Hi All

Is there any way to move luminis 3 DATA to luminis IV without running Migration process?

We had so much troubles running Migration process after successfully installing luminis IV. Thanks!

We are currently running luminis 3.3.3.64 on Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 on the new servers for luminis IV.

For some time now it has irritated us that we cannot link directly to content in Luminis. Due to business priorities we never put this in... until now.

Here is the strategy we took. Provide a GET variable that allows the user to specify the channel functional name they want. If the user is logged in and they go to the home page they will either go strait into the portal, or into the page that is specified through the get variable. If they are not logged in, the requested variable is put into a cookie and then parsed once they have logged in.

Here is what I did:

Hello everyone! I am trying to customize the display formats of some fields in the /cp/user/ pages (i.e. /cp/user/loaduser). Basically, what I'm asking is if anybody knows how to access those files or their code to so I can customize them.

From my own search, it seems those pages are generated from a servlet, but that's as far as I've gotten so far. Any more information that somebody can provide would be of a great help!

Thanks,

Hello, all.
One of our External systems uses the user's last name as part of it's authentication, even if the last name has a space or apostrophe in it!!

So, for example, the cptool command would be
cptool set user joeiscool ExternalAccount = 'otherSystem|Is Cool|1111'

Everything is fine when I run it as is above.

However, if I use "cptool process file" .... and have
set user joeiscool ExternalAccount = 'otherSystem|Is Cool|1111'
as one of the commands in the file, I get an error:

ERROR: External Account must have the following format:

I've written a quick "how to":
How to add Google Analytics to SungardHE’s Luminis portal platform.

It assumes some knowledge of jQuery, JSON, CSS and Google Analytics. Thought it might be interesting to share this.

This is yet another TLA (Three Letter Acronym) for a component of the Luminis portal. You can use another LDAP server to let Luminis authenticate against. It will direct all requests to this server for verification of credentials instead of its own. Better yet, you can setup MULTIPLE EAS configurations, to allow for redundancy and fall through. This keeps Luminis specific users (cpadmin) inside of Luminis' LDAP and out of the campus LDAP.

We are just getting into a Banner implementation project. We have been talking with various SunGard and Luminis experts about getting things going. So far the Luminis expert has recommended RadView - Web Load for load testing Luminis and earlier (I can't remember which function) Mercury Load Runner was suggested. We also want to load test our LMS on campus.

Any suggestions on what load testing software could be used for all these scenarios and others on campus. We would like to just invest in one tool and use it in many applications. Any suggestions would be appreciated.......

Those of you out there who are running an installation of Luminis 3 may have noticed that the browser check always comes up warning you that the browser is unsupported when using Firefox 2, even though all the features seem to be completely supported.
