We are currently using the Canvas API but have been asked to move to the PowerSchool SIF agent by Canvas. Has anyone configured this on their PowerSchool Server yet? What are the steps? Is any additional hardware needed?
Today, a SIF connection to PowerSchool is no longer required. For any issues between Canvas and PowerSchool, you can refer to the SIS PowerSchool Guides. Hope this helps!
I completed the process in a few hours using the directions provided by Instructure. It wasn't very difficult, but I did have to fill in some gaps here and there with trial and error or guesswork. You don't need any hardware. The only additional software is the two SIF components from PowerSource and you will need database credentials for the SIF connection.
This doc has the steps listed if you still need them! https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-11084-how-do-i-connect-to-kimono-with-the-powerschool-sif-agent#local
We needed to select remote server and put in the ip address of the database server. When we were configuring database on the PowerSchool Sif Agent we needed to replace the localhost designation with the inside ip address of the database server. You need to use the standalone agent to get to the configuration settings but the powerschool sif service must first be stopped. After the settings are in place you must shutdown the standalone sif agent and restart the service.
Hi, We are transitioning to ILP to sync course data from Colleague to Canvas. The connection itself is working successfully. However, I need some assistance with getting Blueprint courses applied to the course shells in Canvas. Currently, we use a .csv courses file to create the courses and associate them with the…
Is there ANY way to automate/force Canvas to sync ungraded assignments with Veracross SIS? right now our only solution is to require teachers to enter a fake grade, sync, and then remove it. I am willing to entertain 3rd party solutions if there is one available.
Hello, Is anyone doing a grade sync from Canvas to Jenzabar? Thanks!
When a student turns in a late assignment, I need it to also show as late in Skyward. Having to go in and manually mark multiple assignments late for 130 students is tedious and time consuming. If Canvas recognizes the assignment as late, the same mark needs to be sent to Skyward when it is synced.
How do I add a student to an existing benchmark assessment tracker? The students were imported from our SIS when tracker was created and this student has recently enrolled.
