Problem when testing tasklist tool

[Cristiane]

Hello sakai-dev list,

I am a newbie to sakai, so I'm trying to follow the task list tool exercise in

http://bugs.sakaiproject.org/confluence/display/BOOT/Task+List+Tool+Exercise

I've checked out the code:

https://source.sakaiproject.org/contrib/programmerscafe/tags/sakai-2.2/tasklist-iteration3-CSS/

I've done maven sakai to this project, it builds successfully, but I
can't see the tasklist tool in worksite setup -> edit tools

Does anyone know why I can't see the tasklist tool?

Thanks,

Cristiane Yaguinuma.

I've been tasked with trying to determine the stability history of
"James" as an email subsystem in Sakai.

I would like to hear if there is anyone out there that has experienced
any failures of email archive, that has been able to determine if James
is at fault, or suspected of being at fault.

If you'll bear with me...

Last week it came to my attention as the Sakai Administrator, that a
significant percentage of emails sent to email archive addresses were
not even making it to the sakai server. (20% - 30%)

Below explains the scenario involving a successful delivery of a "email
archive" message to its recipients.

Our users have to use their uarts.edu email account to send email to
sakai, it is tied in to their active directory name, so that the email
account name is the same as their sakai username.  this manages the
permission level of who can send to email archive, since its the same
username for everything...

User sends an email via their valid email account, using a MAPI client,
the OWA (outlook web access) client or an IMAP client.  All mail (port
25) traffic from outside or domain is blocked at the firewall.  Port 25
can come from anywhere on campus, which allows us to just use the
internal mail server (mail.uarts.edu).

Sendmail listens on port 25 for SMTP traffic from our exchange server.
(or any other box on campus)
/var/log/maillog reports all incoming email at this detail level -->

Sep 12 08:52:43 sakai sendmail[18225]: l8CCqbc2018225:
from=<DGoodyear@...>, size=948, class=0, nrcpts=1,
msgid=<B7B505B8F8C92243A7F4BA58E315C40906C184CD@...>,
proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=[10.64.3.21]
Sep 12 08:52:43 sakai sendmail[18241]: l8CCqbc2018225:
to=<sakai.help@...>, delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00,
mailer=esmtpjames, pri=120948, relay=localhost.uarts.edu. [127.0.0.1],
dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (Message received)


When a message is received by sendmail, that james recognizes as valid
for its purposes, we see this in the
..../sakai/tomcat/sakai/logs/james-2007-09-12.log (james sets a new log
file daily for us)

12/09/07 08:52:43 INFO  smtpserver: Successfully spooled mail from
DGoodyear@... for [sakai.help@...]


What I've described above, results in a successful delivery to the
distribution list of an email archive message.


An unsuccessful delivery looks like this.
User sends an email to a known valid email archive address (for example
sakai.help@...).
Sendmail never logs receiving an email.
James Logging never logs receiving an email from sendmail.
End receivers of the email archive messages never receive the message.
Original sender never receives an NDR (Non Delivery Report).
The email simply vanishes.

This event, is completely inconsistent, and completely unrepeatable. It
happens at one moment, and if you test the same problem case
immediately, it works again.  

My theory is that simply put, the message never makes it to the sakai
server, and is vanishing at some stage while it is still in exchange's
hands.

Our exchange admin is requesting a brain dump from everyone I can talk
to about the stability of James and how it works with Sendmail.  His
opinion is that the Java based functionality is at fault for the missing
messages...

He additionally would like to know if anyone has used PostFix instead of
Sendmail, and if there is any documentation for that.

And, if Postfix could replace Sendmail AND James.

Thank you for your thoughts on this matter.
Any and all responses will help me out with this.

Hi,

We are using Sakai 2.4.0.

We thought we advise faculty to put questions into question pool will
save them time and questions can be used for multiple tests.  However,
we notice that when making a new test, the only option to draw questions
from a question pool is "randomly".  We have faculty who need to have
questions listed on a test in certain order.  So we need to be able to
draw questions from a pool, select the questions needed and in the order
we want.

Is there something we missed in our installation?  Or is there a feature
we can reconfigure the way the question pools can be accessed during a
new test is created?

Thank you in advance for your attention and help.

Regards,

Hi Biwu,

If you don't want to randomly draw questions from pool, then
you could do the following:

1. create the assessment and click on 'Add question'  pulldown.
2. select 'Copy from Question Pool', and then select the pool you want,
3. select any number of questions you want from the pool, then click on 'Copy'.
4, You should now see your assessment with the questions you have
selected from pool.

Let me know if this works for you.


thanks,
Lydia
