Tools for Maintenance & Migration
Background Information
• Andrew Petro presented tools for “uP 2 XML
Import and Export” at the April, 2007
Developers Meeting at Johns Hopkins
• These tools (Import/Export) leverage an open
source Java library called Cernunnos
• Cernunnos is hosted by Google Code, and
was developed by Drew Wills (me)
– http://code.google.com/p/cernunnos/
Background Information (Cont.)
• (Much) more detailed information on
Import/Export is available on JA-SIG
Confluence:
– http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/x/KQIs
• As of now, three schools have added these
tools to uPortal:
– CSU Chico
– University of Colorado System
– Yale University
Advantages of Import/Export
• Export, manipulate, and import portal entities as
succinct, domain-friendly XML documents:
– uPortal data is more accessible to humans
– It’s easy to migrate entities between environments
• 2.6 to 3.0
• QA to Production
• portal.yale.edu to my.wisc.edu
– Provides a platform for additional entity-manipulation tools
• copy-user
• alm-to-dlm
• full-dbunload
Current Status
• Currently Yale is working to transition
Import/Export to the uPortal codebase
• There is a JIRA: UP-1834
• The main body of work (UP-1834) is complete
• Remaining issues & tasks have been entered
as subtasks of UP-1843 (10 at the moment)
How You Can Help
• Understand the proposals
• Keep an eye on the JIRA (maybe use the
“watch” feature in Confluence)
• Share your insights & suggestions on list and
as JIRA comments
