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.
• 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 Application Server - CollegeSource recommends Tomcat 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 uachieve 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.

• The above Mandatory Requirements section identifies the minimum CollegeSource uAchieve audit server and CollegeSource uAchieve tables which are compatible with the Transferology Connector versions 5.0.x, 4.4.x and 4.3.x.
• The 5.0.x, 4.3.x and 4.4.x Transferology Connector versions are also compatible with the minimum versions through the most recent CollegeSource audit server and CollegeSource table versions.

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

1. Database Access by Transferology Connector into CollegeSource uachieve tables.

2. Install and Configure Transferology Connector

3. If your school's uAchieve encoding specifies 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.

Please review the following documentation for uAchieve default or reference tables encoding details: Setting Up Default Tables
