Self-Service Admin
|
Dashboard MUST be configured to point to Self-Service application, in order to access Program Matcher from Admin area. Set selfService.baseUrl= in dashboard.properties. Self-Service MUST be restarted for Admin changes to take effect. Self-Service MUST be restarted after Program Matcher indexes the first time for Program Matcher to work. |
Program Matcher Indexing
Program Matcher matches the courses a student has already taken to courses contained in the requirements of degree programs at an institution. Program Matcher maintains two complete indices on the local filesystem located at the directory specified by home.dir property. Because Program Matcher maintains two indices, it never has to be disabled while it is re-building the index. Indices may be manually built occasionally, or re-built on a schedule.
Program Matcher Index Scheduling
As stated previously, the Program Matcher index can be re-built on a specific schedule. The format for that text input follows standard cron expression formats. A few examples can be found below and in the table detailing cron format:

Audit Exceptions
Control Codes
The Audit Exceptions Admin page is used to configure what exceptions a user can create from the Exceptions From the Audit area. A total of six different exceptions may be configured. For each of the six exceptions, users may configure the Ctlcd, Note, and Memo used when each exception is submitted.
| Exception Type | Default Control Code (Ctlcd) |
|---|---|
| Edit Requirement/Sub-Requirement | XM |
| Force Requirement/Sub-Requirement Complete | EE |
| Force Course | C9 |
| Add Sub-Requirement Course | XM |
| Delete Sub-Requirement Course | RD |
| Swap Sub-Requirement Course | RS |
| If a Ctlcd field is left blank, then that exception type will not show up in the audit exceptions area of Self-Service. |
For higher-level functional detail, see Create Exceptions From the Audit.
