Tip
titleMandatory Requirements

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

  • Java SE 7 or 8 - May be obtained from the following page: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
    • 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 (21623.6822.115104.16435).
      • 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
  • CollegeSource audit server - One of the following minimum versions are required:
    • DARwin 3.5.6
    • u.achieve 4.0.14
  • CollegeSource tables - One of the following minimum table definition versions are required:
    • DARwin 3.5.8
    • u.achieve 4.0.14
  • 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:
  • Specify the correct daversion in the cas4.properties:
    • daversion=darwin
    • daversion=uachieve
  • CollegeSource Audits - When using the degree audit functionality, one of the following is required:
    • DARwin daemon.cfg - Assign value of server_name property in DARwin daemon.cfg
    • uAchieve - Define RequestHandler in uAchieve's daemonContext.xml
