Authoring Tool - Porting course from one instance to another
by Greg Pell - Thursday, 12 February 2015, 2:56 AM
 

Hi,

We have one instance of the Dev branch of the authoring tool running on a local machine here from which we have been building a course.  Subsequently we have setup another instance on a server in our cloud so other can access it.  

I am wondering if there is a way to export that course from one instance of the tool and import it into another?  I assume that aside from the course/project files there is also data in the MongoDB that would need to be exported??  Any ideas on how we can achieve this?

Cheers

Greg

Hi Greg, 

Presently the tool does not support exporting of courses for import into another instance of the tool, although this feature is on the roadmap, I believe.

I wouldn't recommend attempting to manually move the objects from the collections on one database to another, as it is likely to be quite error prone, mainly due to mappings between content items and plugins installed to the DB.
