Weekly Blog #1

Its been very busy this week since Banner was upgraded to 7.1. I came in on monday and added all the mods to web packages that needed them. Functions:
f_getspriden_id
f_format_name
Packages:
bwlkilib
bwckregs
soklibs
bwlkfcwl

I tested all the web applications to make sure they were working by tuesday, fortunately most of them worked. Tuesday was really busy. I reactivated the cron jobs on the server, had to manually run the research scripts so that morning refreshes will work from the cron job. Several people didn't have jiniator installed, so had to install a couple of those. Fixed a couple people's links to banner 7. Some folks were not able to run 2 sessions of Banner even though their internet explorer had the reuse windows box unchecked. I changed their links to launch explorer manually with the url to banner tacked on the end and that seemed to fix it. Spent lots of time tracking down various problems with certain forms: zfastwv,soilcur,sfaregq. I loaded the forms developer on my computer to get more familiar with moding forms. Loading this is not as easy as it sounds cause you have to completely uninstall all of oracle and then load the software, then grab all the shared libraries that banner uses, plus all the forms.
