Log in to Vista Enterprise as a Server Administrator or Institution Administrator.
\nNOTE: To set glcid, you must log in as a Server Administrator.<\/p>\nFrom the Administration tab, click the Utilities tab.
\nClick Settings.<\/p>\nUnder System Integration, click System Integration API IMS….<\/p>\n
Enter values to configure settings. See the table that follows, Standard and IMS Adapter
\ndetails on each value.<\/p>\nClick Save Values. The Settings screen appears and the settings are configured.<\/p>\n
Standard and IMS Adapter Settings
\nThe following table describes the parameters you can set using the administration user interface.
\nSetting Description
\nGlcId<\/strong><\/p>\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Stands for global learning context identifier.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Set by Server Administrator only.<\/strong>
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Required to run IMS and Standard adapter
\ncommands.<\/strong>
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Identifies the institution in which the adapter
\ncommand runs
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Automatically assigned by Vista Enterprise
\nupon creation of an institution<\/p><\/blockquote>\nOf course, it doesn’t say which <\/strong>Glcid, right? After all, every learning context has a Glcid. Since, at the time I only had one institution (before I created the 54 others), I set the Glcid to the one for that institution. Should it be the Glcid for the server or domain learning context? If so, then couldn’t Blackboard just pre-populate it at the time of install? Why do I need to put it there?<\/p>\n
At the same time, I didn’t believe it necessary because I had seen IMS imports work without the Glcid set at the server learning context. They worked because the command used to run the IMS import has the glcid.<\/p>\n
The result? My imports went into the the institution with the Glcid set at the server learning context, despite the defining in the command I ran to use a different Glcid. Removing the Glcid from the server learning context settings allowed the command to work as I thought it should.<\/p>\n
