Scarf database access

I got access to the scarf database this week so I'll be able to query our data that we send to OUS. I didn't have any luck connecting to the database from my workstation but it worked fine on OUS's server (could be a firewall issue). I'll work on it when I get back from vacation.

DEHOLD - Remove Advisor Hold

I made some modifications to the advisor hold app (DEHOLD) so that it pulls the advisors department information from the Banner table SIRDPCL instead of our custom table ZFACDEP. Now that SIRDPCL is being updated regularly, we now longer need a custom table to hold that information.

Department of Revenue - data issue

The Department of Revenue noticed that we were including zip codes in the city field on our reports. I looked into this and it turns out that this was done several years ago to prevent mail from going out for students that we sent to collections. This will take a while to clean up in Banner because there's a lot of records that are affected. For the meantime, I modified our script so that it removes any numbers in the city field.

Non-standard update: tbraccd

I did a non-standard update for the Business office this week to add health insurance charges to international students for summer term. We have a process in Banner (TZPINTL)that already adds these charges but only for students that are currently registered for the term. Not all of the students are registered for summer term so I had to push these through manually.

Staff Development - SketchUp

For my staff development, I tried out Google SketchUp and watched some of the tutorial videos online. I made a small model of my backyard to see how easy it is to use and to check out the features. It's fairly easy to use and you can quickly create 3D models in a short period of time. I think it might be useful for our campus map (if we decide to go with a 3D view).

Scarf
SZRFACR - to test sftp
Degree evaluation
Clearinghouse
Fixed wouupg link on Aero so that we can test custom apps.
