Page History

The following requirements are mandatory to successfully install, configure, and operate the Transferology Connector:

• Java SE 8 - If your institution is unfamiliar with java, please see Free Java 8 Implementations.When java 7 is used, the https.protocols java system property must be defined, see the next item for specifics.
• TLSv1.2 - The Transferology web service which receives degree audits no longer supports TLSv1 or TLS v1.1. Java 8 and higher use TLSv1.2 by default. Java 7 must define the following java system property.

• When starting your java web application server, you must define the java https.protocols system property to explicitly disable TLSv1 and TLSv1.1.

-Dhttps.protocols=TLSv1.2

• Java Application Server - CollegeSource recommends Tomcat 7.0.x, 8.0.x or 8.5.x, which can be obtained from the following page: http://tomcat.apache.org/index.html
• Firewalls
  
  • School's External firewall must allow traffic to:
    • Your production Transferology Connector from www.transfer.org (18.207.24.42).
    • Your test/development Transferology Connector from test.transfer.org (23.22.104.35).
    • CollegeSource recommends restricting access to the Transferology Connector only after it is correctly installed and configured. Restricting access prior to this makes troubleshooting difficult.
  • Internal - TCP keepalive must be enabled between your Java Application Server and database when the JDBC connection traverses an internal firewall.

• OS access - You need OS access to Java application server to perform functions such as copying and editing files
• uachieve database tables - minimum table definition version 4.4.
• uachieve audit server - When using degree audits, minimum version 4.2.2.
• Database user and password - Necessary for the Connector to access CollegeSource tables
• JDBC Driver - You need a JDBC Driver that is compatible with your specific database type. If you do not currently use a JDBC Driver, see one of the following pages:
  
  • Oracle - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/indexes/downloads/index.html
  • SqlServer - http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=33291
  • DB2 - http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v8/index.jsp
• Specify the correct daversion in the cas4.properties:
  
  • daversion=uachieve
• uAchieve Degree Audits - When using the degree audit functionality, define RequestHandler in uAchieve's daemonContext.xml.
