[LON-CAPA-admin] Auto-enrollment - updating class roster

[Stuart Peter Raeburn]

Hi Hon-Kie, 

It is not expected that a Domain Coordinator would want to turn off this 
type of logging. 

Some questions:
Is there actually a user in the fsu domain with username 1234?
Are the students who should be enrolled in the course which is generating 
this log message actually enrolled (each with the correct username)?
Does ENRL -> Automated Enrollment Manager -> "View students and change type" 
show the enrollment type as "auto"? 

The "Existing fsu user $username enrolled successfully" message is written 
to the auto-enrollment log whenever a user who already has an account in 
your LON-CAPA domain, is auto-enrolled in a course.  This should occur only 
once for a specific user in a specific course. Afterwards, whenever the cron 
job runs, the Enrollment::update_LC() should see that that user is in the 
LON-CAPA classlist and not try to repeat the enrollment. 

If you are seeing this for every student in a single course, I would 
recommend looking at the temporary XML file being generated for this course 
when the cron job runs autoenroll.  As the temporary files are removed after 
the autoenroll process completes you will need to modify the 
fetch_enrollment() function in your custom 
/home/httpd/lib/perl/localenroll.pm file to preserve a copy of the XML file 
in a different location (from the expected location in 
/home/httpd/perl/tmp), so you can take a look at it.  The fact that the 
username is always 1234 suggests that your fetch_enrollment routine may be 
building an XML file with a record in for each student with an erroneous 
username (1234). 

Note: because the call to localenroll() is actually made by lonsql you will 
need to kill the lonsql process, and then do
"/etc/init.d/loncontrol start" to restart lonsql in order for any changes in 
/home/httpd/lib/perl/localenroll.pm to take effect. 

Select the CC role for the course that is generating this message and use 
ENRL -> Automated Enrollment Manager -> "Update roster now" to do an update. 
Any "Existing fsu user $username enrolled successfully" messages will be 
written to the screen.  You should also view the preserved XML files via the 
command line on the library server. 

Please let me know what you find out.
