Luminis Message Broken

[mmitchell]

Esteemed Developers and Admins (originally posted over in that group),

We are a medium-sized university that uses Banner and the Luminis Message Broker to interact with Canvas.

The LMB takes Banner events (e.g. student enrollments, course drops, faculty enrollments, course changes, etc.) and pushes them into Canvas in real time.

At least this is how it should work. We've had to manually push enrollments this semester, drop students, update course rosters, change course names, etc. because our LMB is moody and depressed. It sits on YouTube all day and watches sloth videos.

Has anyone out there created or found an alternative to the Luminis Message Broker for Canvas? If not, is anyone interested in joining forces and creating one?

I might be too naive to understand the scope of a project like this, but better living through automation, right?

Hi Michael,

It has been a bit since you posted so you may have made some headway here. I know that Ellucian and Canvas are working on a different integration that will utilize LIS 2.0 and ILP instead of Luminis. We are looking forward to seeing more on this by the end of the 2015/2016 school year. You see more info on the Canvas Studio. Additionally many of our Banner institutions utilize the option of pushing CSV files through the API rather than using the live event options. Hopefully this helps a bit!

Angela,

Thanks for adding this. I've heard rumblings about ILP and the dates they've mentioned correspond with those you've written here. I hope the solution Ellucian and Canvas create is easy to integrate and works well.

I have been working on creating a solution for us which may need to happen before the ILP launch but only because it would be nice to have something I can troubleshoot myself.

Hi  @mmitchell ,

I am going through having a look at some of the early days in the Canvas Developers group, and checking in to see if older enquiries have been answered. I also noticed there hasn’t been any discussion on this question in quite some time.

I am wondering, were you ever able to resolve this? I am hoping I can assume that it is well and truly resolved by now, but if not, please let us know and we can certainly have another look. Alternatively, if have some insights you may be able to share for others that would be awesome too!

I will mark this as assumed answered for the time being, however, by all means please let us know if you still have an outstanding question and we will take a peek!

Cheers,
Stuart
