Archive improve the fidelity of archive / merge (Umbrella)

Description

With the ablity to include archive material in a Sakai Common Cartridge we will need to review the archive() and merge() code across the Sakai services to insure that an archive-enhanced cartridge faithfully represents a Sakai site upon export and when imported faithfully reconstructs the same content in a new site.

The basic idea it to find the code in each service what implements the archive() and merge() methods and review it and improve it where needed. The general test is to export an archive-enhanced cartridge and review that the service is properly archived and then import the cartridge and verify things look good. Another task is to compare the transferCopyEntities() code and make sure that (a) it it produces a full fidelity site copy and then (b) that the archive() merge() process does the same fidelity of the transferCopyEntities().

You can look at the commits for some of the already completed JIRAs for example approches to solving the problems.

This is an umbrella Jira - we will make associated JIRAs for each service as they are reviewed and improved.

This is a list of potential files / services that still might need JIRAs. Please take them out of this list once there is a Jira created.

  • calendar/.../BaseCalendarService.java - Works but should be checked for fidelity

  • chat/../ChatEntityProducer.java - Not clear what should be copied in the “no user info” archive but shoud be checked

  • gradebookng/../GradebookNgEntityProducer.java - Not clear what should be copied but should be checked

  • kernel/../BaseContentService.java - So far seems OK - but a close review would be good

  • lessonbuilder/../LessonBuilderEntityProducer.java - So far seems OK - but a close review would be good

  • mailarchive/../MailArchiveService.java - Should be checked to see if the archive included per-user data

  • msgcntr/../DiscussionForumServiceImpl.java - So far seems OK - but a close review is in order

  • samigo/../AssessmentEntityProducer.java - This needs to be gone over very carefully

  • scormplayer - Seems to be missing basic support for archive() / merge()

  • syllabus/../SyllabusServiceImpl.java - So far seems OK - but a close review would be good

Files that can be used for testing updated 2/23/2025:

Test workbook (work in progress) to use with the files:

How to use the test files:

  • Use a cc+ import and import the file into a new site

  • Modify any date information as needed and anything else that doesn’t match the description, make sure all items are published/available (unless otherwise indicated)

  • Export the content as a cc+ file

  • Create another site with at least Lessons and import your exported file

  • Compare the settings between the tools in the 2 sites. Most items, (announcements, assignments, etc), come over as drafts, but not all. The workbook has expectations for what should be a draft.
