September 1, 2004 - Vincent Roster ChangesThe Vincent handin program used by a variety of CS classes takes as input a standard format roster file when adding students to the system. Unfortunately, with oncourse these traditional format rosters are no longer accessible. In order to get a roster format that Vincent will understand you must get the data from oncourse and then convert it to the traditional format. Here is the process:
Step 1: Get the data from oncourse in CSV format
When you login to Oncourse, you will have the option of viewing your roster. On this page there is a link that allows you to export the roster in CSV (comma separated value) format. Click this link and save this to a file.
Step 2: Convert this file into the traditional formatYou can use the traditionalize.csv script to convert from CSV format to the format needed by Vincent by running: /l/vincent3/bin/traditionalize.csv section rosterfile.csv > rosterfile.vincent You must replace section with the section number corresponding to the roster you are converting. In this example, the downloaded CSV file is rosterfile.csv and the output is a file named rosterfile.vincent
Step 3: Load the new format file into VincentJust go to the Administrator interface for your class and upload this newly created rosterfile.vincent file.
NOTE: Format VariationsWe have reports of various roster formats being downloaded from oncourse. If you run /l/vincent3/bin/traditionalize it will explain the various formats that are supported and the corresponding conversion script names. |
