Sims2ad integration.

Make it use the commandreport tool rather then direct SQL

I doubt that is possible from a linux box.

Well I assume your SIMS server is Windows, assume you can join the dots. (Also will save on network traffic)

I'm in the process of converting the sims2ad to a moodle module to allow for better administration.

Could always use the commandreport tool to generate reports on a schedule, then link into those from your linux box.

can you point me in the direction of the command reporter documentation?

@matt40k:

what rights does a user need apart from third party reporting?

As currently i have created a user called SIMS2AD and it logs in fine but command reporter dies with an error of no permission on report.

Assuming the report is pulling only pupil data, something like class teacher, or such will do it.

You might want to create a custom security group with just the required permissions (be (completely) better then UniServity then) . Latest list is on capita's supportnet - 15163

@matt40k

I had a look at your report, it currently only lists students, i can't find a away in sims to show students and teachers with there roles.

Do you know of a way?
