Note
titleUpgrading to the 5.0.x Transferology Connector?

The uachieve database must have JOB_QUEUE tables upgraded to uAchieve 4.4.

When upgrading to the 5.0.x version of the Connector, follow these steps:

  1. Execute the Connector 5.0 sql database script for your particular database. The script adds the last_mod_descendant_utc column to the tca_master and tca_rule tables.
    1. Oracle - connector-oracle-5_0.sql
    2. SQL Server - connector-mssql-5_0.sql
    3. DB2 - connector-db2-5_0.sql
  2. Execute the Connector 5.0 sql database trigger script for your particular database. The triggers maintain the last_mod_descendant_utc columns of the tca_master and tca_rule tables.
    1. Oracle - connector-oracle-triggers-5_0.sql
    2. SQL Server - coming soon
    3. DB2 - coming soon
  3. Install the 5.0.x Connector version.
  4. The configuration instructions for the RequestHandler defined in the uAchieve daemonContext.xml were revised due to the additional uachieve report types HTM and PDF.
  5. Use the Transferology Lab's Audit Setup page to:
    1. Change the Audit request format to: Connector 5.x
    2. Change the Audit Report type to: TXT, HTM or PDF

When you are ready to install and configure the Transferology Connector, follow these steps:

1. Database Access by Transferology Connector into CollegeSource tables.

3. If you use DARwin/uAchieve default or reference only tables in your equivalencies, keep in mind, Transferology does NOT recognize all types of default or reference tables. The following types of default or reference tables are recognized by Transferology:

  • Defaulting MSTREF Data - Reference Only
  • Defaulting TA Rules - Reference Only
  • Defaulting TA Rules - All Articulation Rules
  • Default TA Table With Additional Rules

Transferology doesn't recognize Defaulting Unknown Institutions and Courses aka Super Default.
