Customizing Files

- Copy all web files from server to local drive

- DWG_Styles.css - where all the colors/styles are

- Web Server - dwwebt (test) and dwweb (prod)

- Location of files: var/www/html/wtest

- Shpscripts - located on Application Server - dwappt (test) and dwapp (prod) - used for find and other functions in DW such as PDF generation. Most begin with SD2 (Student or Audit Console)

- Location of files: usr/app/sghe/dw/dwtest/ - app and local folder

- Original files are in app folder - shpscripts and xsl folder are where most of the files that can be customized will be located.

- Local folder overrides files in app folder - move modified files to local folder under shpscripts and xsl subfolder

- SEARCHCUSTOM - find screen

To determine what file - view the source within the DegreeWorks application. Will show different source code depending on the area you right-click on. At the top it will tell you where to edit. Should add .orig to end of original file before you make any modifications.

WinMerge - comparison tool to see what changes to make after an upgrade.

N:\dept\degreeworks\docs - find webroot listing

EditPlus - for editing and previewing in browser. Can use Dreamweaver as well.

When you View Source it shows the XML. Save to localization folder with XXX in the front of name. Preview XXX file in browser to see how it will look before you move it to the Server.

Custom Fields

- Open SureCode

- BAN080 - click 'Add New Record'

- ex. ACADSTANDING: COLUMN - for value - only section 1 field at a time

- Click 'Add New Record' again for ACADSTANDING:TABLE and ACADSTANDING:WHERE_1, WHERE_2, WHERE_3....

DW40100ucxtg - Documentation

ex. ACSTANDING:REPORT - name of validation table - this sends it to the report detail but don't put values if no validation tables.

:ORDERBY

Use PUTTY and login to dwappt

- extract can not function if BAN080 has problems.

- export RAD11FORCE=ALL

- bannerextract student 929XXXXXX

- cd dgwspool

- look for rad30 and dap22 files - if no dap22 files then likely a problem with the SQL is present.
