  • student photos

These scripts take three inputs:

  • JAMS-students.txt, from Avanti/Colleague data; contains student information, including course enrollment and address information
  • reason_buildings.txt, from Chicago; contains information about buildings and rooms, mostly to associate courses with teaching location
  • a slapcat dump in LDIF format of our LDAP tree, used to capture student photographs for the Advocate system

And produce three outputs:

  • buildings.tab: a tab-delimited list of building/room locations
  • pictures.zip: a zipped file containing raw .jpg photos, named by advance ID, for all Carleton students in the feed
  • students.tab: a tab-delimited file of student information, with a prepended header naming each field
