Review Becky's needs of Grades DB

...

  • Tu will work with Roger.
    • Tu needs IP addresses. Roger can do the installs.
    • And Roger may have better alternatives. :-)

Confirm PatH's MacroExpress scripts work with server-based FMPro.

  • PatH to confirm right away.

Change all TA access to be by NetID (and FMPro p/w), instead of their name

  • PatH to make the appropriate updates soon.
  • This is not to be confused with enabling true NetID-based access, using CU's NetID p/w's.
  • PatH must reinforce to TA Grads that they should //not// use their true NetID p/w's!!

Test PatH's restore procedure.

...

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

Change all TA access to be by NetID (and FMPro p/w), instead of name.

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 at: TA room, DanL, CynthiaK, and Sam's.
    • MichaelH.
  • Create appropriate "read-only" account for Becky to allow her to continue doing exports herself.
    • Roger (working with Becky)
    • Outline some options, for later focus. (Unlikely do any other changes right now!)

Shut off access to old ChemIT-run instance (Win7 VM). "Legacy Grades".

  • Per 8/15/13 meeting, do anytime. Not being used now- no current data and not being updated anymore.
  • Roger to do.

Decisions, processes, and procedures

Make appropriate changes to source FMPro data

  • Change all TA access to be by NetID (and FMPro p/w), instead of their name.
    • This keeps the access process the same as it was, but:
      • Enables the correct access restrictions via the web application.
      • Facilitates transition to trueNetID-based access, as a future project.

Establish procedure for PatH to update web-hosted data. "Push the button".

...

  • 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

  • Change direction of cname, <grades.chem.cornell.edu> from old to new instance.
    • ChemIT needs a date.
    • Doing this means other systems (2 computers in TA room; Becky's computer) automatically cut-over. :-)
  • Shut off access to old ChemIT-run instance (Win7 VM). "Legacy Grades".
    • ChemIT needs a date.
  • When add access via AD groups?
