Banner Minutes
March 24, 2008

1. Outstanding action items from last meeting.
  ACTION ITEM: Karin will e-mail the appropriate Banner listserv to learn who else is using the IPEDs report. Karin will open a support ticket for assistance on what settings impact the way data is pulled for the Banner IPEDS report. Karin plans to do this before the April meeting.

ACTION ITEM: Nina will set up a subcommittee to work on IPEDS. Barbara Batiste, Dennis, Karin and other individuals will participate as appropriate. Done. Ty was added to the committee.

ACTION ITEM: Jim will reopen the contact on stores inventory concerning the reconciliation problem. Jim has determined that at least some of the problems are resolved and will continue testing.

   
2. Projects
  a) Disaster Recovery – Oracle 10g is needed before the auxiliary server is loaded with data and shipped to UAFS. During the IBM hardware outage, Steve got jobsub running on the standby database. Printing remains the only function that cannot cleanly be done when we fail over to Fort Smith. Financial services can FTP the print files to their desktops to print. The standby database is slow and running on old hardware that is set for decommissioning by June 30. Fort Smith will move the standby database to new hardware as soon as Steve finishes the 10g upgrades.  
  b) Accounts Receivable – A Form Fusion invoice will need to be created. A/R will contract with eVisions to create the form. This project will be delayed until Sheryl’s replacement is hired.
  c) Argos – The plan is to move all of Purchasing’s static Access reports to Argos so that they may begin to become comfortable with the software and identify ad hoc reporting needs. Status? Progress continues. Bruce H. and Mark reported that a meeting with Tony Windham resulted in a request to reformat the e~Print budget reports. The committee agreed that this may be a good opportunity to move the reports to Argos since every report will need to be modified.  
 
3. Luminis Update
  The project is on schedule. The Luminis technical team has one more training to complete. Communications and IT are working on creating the channels and connectors needed to get the portal ready for testing in late summer.  
 
4. Other Business
  Sheryl Baker has resigned. Mark will take over the Banner security and budget functions. Karin reported that they recently discovered individuals had modify access to PTRCALN, which controls the payroll calendar. Only Nazirat, Sherry and Karin should have this access. The committee agreed that now would be a good time to review user classes and determine if they need to be updated.

ACTION ITEM – Steve will provide Mark a list of the Banner user security classes and the objects included in each class to familiarize him with the current structure and to facilitate discussions on changes needed.
