• Any benefit in changing the current "export" process?

To do's for this project

See the following section for context related to these to-do's.

...

• Do ~end of Sept? (No later, please!)
• To be done by PatH. Presumably via self-service. :-)

Enable PatH's remote access

• ChemIT must do this. Oliver must do or assign.

Enable ChemIT staff's access to CCB FMPro DBs.

• Do via AD group. Enable only "Admin" accounts, not ChemIT staff's user accounts. (Right, Roger?)
• Tu to work with Roger.

Ensure FMPro access by TAs and a few staff

• Ensure that all "single account set up for a whole course for use by many TAs" is cleaned up. (Legacy capability which is no longer needed. And confuses things now.)
  • Dani and PatH
• Ensure works from systems: TA room, DanL, CynthiaK, and Sam's.
  • ChemIT staff:MichaelH.
• Create appropriate "read-only" account for Becky to allow her to continue doing exports herself.
  • Dani and PatH Roger (working with Becky)
  • Outline some options, for later focus. (Unlikely do any other changes right now!)

...

Clarify support and maintenance expectations

...

• Hosting vs. Design/ Creation vs. Support

...

Useful to distinguish between something breaking (worked yesterday!) and something new

...

needed (consultation/ design/ implementation).

• For now, keep communications flowing directly between PatH, Dani, and Tu.
  • De-bugging, tweaking, etc.
• After project is "completed" (~mid-Sept?), all requests (for breakage or new feature requests) are to go to ChemIT
  • In an emergency (time-sensitive situation), in addition to contacting ChemIT, PatH may contact Dani or Tu.

Instructional staff are encouraged to involve A&S support staff if making structural changes to their DBs. And if Instruction staff make structural changes to any of their DBs, at the very least inform A&S staff as an FYI.

• Debugging a problem is easier if changes to the source DB is known up-front.
• There are many, many moving parts to this complex and interdependent system!

A&S's role

• A&S is providing the FMPro server hosting services.
  • This includes performing and confirming back-ups and restore procedures, especially focus on addressing an infrastructure problem at their end.
• A&S staff can Design/ Creation on a case-by-case basis
  • This will usually require Frank's approval.

Map out transition steps remaining
