About

Users of Alma and Primo need accounts set up in the system to perform tasks.  This project will create an automated process to export new, updated, and expired users from PeopleSoft to Alma on a regular basis.  Doing this systemwide allows us to streamline the process and standardize the data as much as possible.  It also allows us to coordinate this work with the related task of setting up authentication in Alma and Primo.

The Chancellor's Office CMS group has developed an app engine (read: batch script) that campus PeopleSoft groups can enable to automate the extract of user data from PeopleSoft to Alma.

Possible Future Enhancements

  • Skip students with multiple plans that have the same sequence number and log the error.

  • Better mapping for non-state-side employees

  • Expiration dates for faculty/staff, when known (particularly for visiting scholars)

  • If a student shows enrollment and has a future effective dated program stack, then exclude the student from the extract
