20min Chancellor's Office Projects Update
  • Alma SIS / PeopleSoft Patron Loads
    • CMS Alma program is out and has been delivered to campus PeopleSoft management
    • Please reach out to campus PeopleSoft people if you have not already to work to test this
    • CMS is working on bugs
    • Your campus may have local unique issues
    • Questions about non-stateside employees (POIs) - action item to follow up Lauren Magnuson (Unlicensed)
  • Alma Invoices / PeopleSoft Financials
    • Working with pilot campuses / Ian Chan (Unlicensed). San Marcos developing Alma > PeopleSoft conversion script. 2 different upload formats used by pilot campuses, script will be able to handle both. For campuses outside the pilot: will be directed to one format. Currently Testing conversion / XML output. Output will be sent to CO servers, script conversion run, then FTP'd to CFS (PeopleSoft)
  • Shibboleth
    • Fix has been identified and sent out (update entity ID for friendly Primo URL), each campus identity management team has to make the fix, go ahead and contact them about making the change
    • When testing Primo auth, use the 'friendlier' URL for testing
    • Also make sure you have a corresponding account in Alma with the user you're testing in Primo
    • Further instructions and Alma Shib instructions will be sent out soon
    • If the entity ID has been replaced and problems still occurring, let David Walker know
10minBursar's Integration / Fines and Fees / CashNet
  • Not everyone has the same CashNet products / subscriptions, but everyone has a PeopleSoft connection with CashNet to enable fines/fees to be paid by PeopleSoft
  • For go-live, most cost-effective, feasible solution is the "San Marcos" model, which requires a daily Analytics job be run to output fines/fees to PeopleSoft, enabling charges to be available for users in PeopleSoft for payment. A script is run querying PeopleSoft for fine/fee payment, which is delivered back to Alma.
  • Details about possible models for integration considered here: Alma and Bursar Integration for Exchange of User Fine/Fee Data
  • Action needed: Memo from CO to campus IT depts about development work needed to retrieve payments from PeopleSoft (question)
    • Campus IT will need to enable upload to PeopleSoft (@Ian to research details about how implement at San Marcos)
    • Will also need to schedule script to query fine/fee payments in the last x amount of time (e.g., script runs every 15 minutes, checks for payments in the last 15 minutes)
    • Works for anyone in Alma who has emplID (not guest users, but works for students/fac/staff)
    • PeopleSoft has hierarchy by which payments are applied.
