Project Issues
Banner Lab – What software to install on the new machines? – Julie needs to know
what software needs installed on the new Banner lab machines. Bob suggested
multiple browsers, Brio, and Oracle. Hummingbird is no longer needed per Patrick.
Global settings are needed for Cognos and ODBC connections. Nancy will contact the
CAPP team regarding any programs they may need. New install will include IE 8 and
Windows 7.
Financial Aid – FISAP Status – Karen reported install is complete on TRNG and
ready to go. Self service financial aid will need to be down when moved to PROD.
Needs moved to PROD early August.
