30minCO Project Updates
    • Xerxes redirect for Millennium/Sierra redirects (see also this page which has some sample Apache redirects and a PHP redirect example from Ian Chan (Unlicensed) here: https://calstate.atlassian.net/wiki/x/OFjKB for catalog links) 
      • This will be put in place for each campus, Dave will be reaching out to each campus to switch over
      • RTA for catalogs in Xerxes won't display data once individual catalogs go offline and availability can't be scraped
    • Course Reserves list app
      • Development is in progress, email will go out later this week with working examples for Round 1 institutions
    • Shibboleth for Alma/Primo
      • Everybody should have Primo Shib working; we have had some intermittent issues
      • Most campuses have Alma working, if not working; please submit a SalesForce case for Alma Shib. Most problems are seen with SSL certs (e.g., expired, self-signed) on the Shib side. Primo is more forgiving with certs, but Alma is much more strict
      • Questions: Unable to logout? adding a Logout URL to your SAML Integration Profile resolved that for SLO, needs to be a session-killing URL to totally log out of Shibboleth (not every campus has implemented this, check with campus ID management folks); can also put into the Shib logout URL to page on website to close browser to kill the session., or just restart browser
    • Patron Load
      • All campus PS admins are aware of this process, procedure needs to be moved from test to production.
      • On the Alma side, to move to production:
        • S/FTP Connections → CALS SFTP → change sftpdev > sftpprd in URL
        • See: Patron Load
      • MP25 is due out June 9 and has an update to fix problems with users with no stat category/dept (retirees and visiting scholars)
        • expiry_date formatting should be fixed for staff
        • Campuses decide when to apply MPs
      • Meeting with CO team this week to go over enhancements and what's feasible
      • When you terminate an employee the expiry_date is badly formatted
      • Patron load does not indicate class standing (freshmen, sophomore)
      • Upcoming split of HR and student systems will happen in Dec
    • LMS integration
      • Renewed conversations w/Ex Libris about Leganto / SIPX (which enable copyright clearance)
10minCO PeopleSoft Financial Integration Ian Chan

 See also:

  • Right now, CSUSM not including EBSCO invoices (due to ongoing EDI mapping issues) or procard invoices
  • Selling point for working with campus financials - saves their staff time, should not require extensive work on their part to set up
  • Contact Ian Chan for access to Bitbucket repository
