- grouper.hawaii.edu will point to the new server
- Grouper data will be imported into the new server
...
. Here are the changes that took place:
Important change: Group Store
- The new top-level folders are now:
- hawaii.edu : custom (your own groups/groupings go here)
- hawaii.edu : store (the UH Group Store)
- hawaii.edu : prime (internal use only)
- All groups you need to use are now available in the new Group Store (in the hawaii.edu:store folder). There is no charge for using the groups, but you will need to request access to them.
- We no longer divide groups into confusing 'auto' vs 'menu' groups. You only need to look in the hawaii.edu:store folder
- The groups in the group store are built from building-block groups called prime groups (in the hawaii.edu:prime folder). You do not need to look for groups inside this folder, but you will see references to them from the store group.
- Prime groups are similar to prime numbers in that they cannot be reduced to anything smaller, and they are used to build bigger numbers (or a copy of itself when multiplied by 1). That's very similar to how these prime groups are used to build the store groups.
- The hawaii.edu:menu:sis:curricula folder is now hawaii.edu:store:sis:curriculum
- The enrolled group for an entire campus has a slightly new format:
- hawaii.edu:store:sis:registration:201630:enrolled:HON (old)
- hawaii.edu:store:sis:registration:201630:HON:enrolled (new)
- Any references to the old hawaii.edu:auto and hawaii.edu:menu will automatically be converted to the new group store paths.
...
- Grouper software will be upgraded from 2.1 to 2.2
- For those with access to the Grouper web UI, there is a new UI by default. The legacy UIs are still available as Admin UI and Lite UI links.
Avoid permission objects until after the upgrade:
- For those of you who plan to explore Grouper beyond the usual group and member capabilities, please hold off from creating permission-related objects between now and the upgrade.
- This refers to creating objects such as attributes, permission definitions, permission resources, roles, and actions.
...
Web Services
- Change the version in the URL to v2_2_002.
- Your code may need to account for two additional values which are always appended to WsSubject's attributeValues:

- member name
- member description (for people, it's usually the same as above)
- attributeValues

- wsSubjects
The following metadata was not transferred with this upgrade:
- Audit logs about who did what and when, including but not limited to:
- Date and time that a group or folder was created or modified
