<title>Resolved: PASS CIFS Gateway Group Lookup Issue</title>

<link>http://alerts.its.psu.edu/alert-1213</link>
<description><![CDATA[By noon today, all PASS CIFS gateway servers have been switched to use the new LDAP Directory Servers.  Changes in access due to new account creations or group membership changes will be reflected on this service once again. <br /> <br />ITS will continue to monitor and tune the service as needed however it is expected that the new Directory Servers will greatly out perform the old version.  The new version uses a much more robust, multithreaded replication model and tests have shown the new servers performed orders of magnitude better with proper tuning.  This is expected to resolve the user and group account information lookup problem with the CIFS service.]]></description>

<title>ANGEL Import Wizard and Export Wizard tools to be turned off during finals week</title>

<link>http://alerts.its.psu.edu/alert-1317</link>
<description><![CDATA[To optimize the performance of Penn State's Course Management System, ANGEL, during fall finals week, the Import Wizard and Export Wizard tools will be turned off from 4:00 a.m. Saturday, December 12 until 6:00 a.m. Saturday, December 19. These tools include the Copy Course, import Content Package, import Master Course, and export ANGEL Archive functions. Note: During finals week, instructors can continue to create course content and create master courses and learning object repositories. Students can continue to upload/download files and access lesson content.  <br />  <br />The tools for importing and exporting individual lesson content items between courses and groups will be turned off as well. These are only temporary changes to improve ANGEL performance during the period of intense usage associated with finals week.  <br />  <br />The Copy Course tool allows instructors to copy one of their existing ANGEL courses into another course section. A master course is a special course set up as a template that multiple instructors can import into another course section. The ANGEL Archive tool is used to download a backup of a course as a ZIP file; this file can then be imported into another section using the import Content Package tool.  <br />  <br />Instructors who need to use these tools to set up a course for the spring semester are encouraged to plan ahead and perform necessary course imports or exports prior to finals week. ]]></description>
