Hello

 

BB 6.2.3 Enterprise

 

I am trying to append information (departmental) to the Course Name in BB.

We use the snapshot controller to help us with the import creating the files for run in.

I have modified the database that connects to our MIS that creates the files to append the departmental codes to course name, this runs successfully and the out put txt file is as it should be.  This will be used to report on departments / areas on BB usage for stat gathering.

When I run the amended file in either SNPSHT or MANUAL for the courses, this runs in fine but no departmental data is appended to the course name.

Upon further investigation I have found that the COURSE_NAME is BB owned and not SIS, this would explain why nothing is being appended.

My question is where is the config file that stipulates the ownership of COURSE_NAME so I can change from BB to SIS?

I have looked at the snapshot controller properties and the controller properties to amend the ownership but have not yet located it.

I have read through the documents that BB global services supplied, all say that COURSE_NAME is BB owned bu none mention where it can be changed?

 

Can anyone direct me in the right place to make the amendments?

Many thanks in advance.

 

Best Regards,
