EX stores the ODBC profile name, login ID, and password in the PowerFAIDS Database Connection to allow both EX and JICS to open an ODBC connection to access the PowerFAIDS database. The PowerFAIDS Database Connection data should already exist in EX as it is required for EX Financial Aid Manager. Use the following steps to confirm that is exists.
1. Open the Financial Aid Configuration window.
2. Click the PowerFAIDS Database Connection... button.
3. Choose the appropriate PF Database Profile from the drop-down list.
If you do not see the ODBC profile name you created in the PF Database Profile drop-down list, it may not exist on the machine on which you are running EX. The drop-down list displays all 32 and 64 bit System DSN profiles. You may need to create an ODBC connection so that it appears in the drop-down list.
Configuration settings in JICS can be done by roles with permission to access and administer global and portlet settings.
If you are an administrator and need help in setting up and configuring this portlet, see the Configuration Guides on MyJenzabar.
See the Setting Global Permissions to Portlets help topic for instructions on how to set up global operations for JICS portlets.
