This is a manual process. The attached script /usr/local/sysnet/sbin/nace_export.pl script relies on a slapcat dump of LDAP and then parses the results for a studentbash on the server idmprod.its.carleton.edu can be run to produce import files for undergraduates, facstaff, and alumni import/updates. . We run the script and give the files to Brad Kmoch, who has admin rights in NACElink to perform this import.
As of June 2012, the Career Center would like an expanded import. Here is a draft of what those import attributes would be:

JAMS (Advocate)
Access
JAMS is available at http://go.carleton.edu/jams . Dave Flynn has Administrator rights.
Provisioning
A series of scripts on Atlantis IDMProd (/usr/homelocal/sysnet/jams/update_jams.sh run nightly as root by /etc/crontaband /usr/local/sysnet/jams/transferfiles.sh, run -manually-) updates the following
- students accounts
- student photos
- a list of campus buildings
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
Which are then SCPd (as the user 'jams' via pubkey auth, see idmprod:/home/jams/.ssh/) to the following address at Symplicity via /usr/local/sysnet/jams/transferfiles.sh:
- carleton-jams.symplicity.com
Staff accounts must be created manually. JAMS uses advanceids passed by Shibboleth as the primary key, so when creating an account use that in the username field.
