2:00- 2:45 pm | Mass Connection Credential Change in BOE – Alan Ziv, MCCD
In February 2015, the Maricopa Community College District moved its Student Information System to a new version on servers located in the Oracle Cloud. This required the connection information (server, username, and password) to be changed on thousands of reports. The way we accomplished this mostly worked, but there were significant issues. We started to look for an alternative method for future use. This led us to 360View which we had previously used only for managing security settings. GB&Smith has responded to our needs with updates to 360View to address the issues we have encountered. The current situation will be described.
