[Building Sakai] Enrollment feeds from SIS

[Sean DeMonner]

At U-M we do something similar: our PeopleSoft SIS does a full sync of enrollment data every 24 hours as well as change data every two hours. In cases of extreme urgency we suggest faculty manually add the student to the site.

Our SIS is able to post events about courses that have enrollment changes and we have a separate hourly quartz job to collect those events, which provides us a list of courses that have enrollment updates in the last hour. Our CM Sync job syncs only courses in that list.  We used to sync less frequently (4 times a day) but our faculty/students couldn't seem to wait for even a few hours, especially in the beginning of each term.
