Migration

Migrating manager application data

datatools-server offers a way to migrate application data (e.g., due to either breaking application schema changes or server changes). Note: this process requires temporarily exposing a GET request that exposes the entirety of the manager database.

1. Set the config setting modules:dump:enabled to true.
2. Restart the application.
3. Download copy of application data to local json file curl localhost:4000/dump > db_backup.json.
4. Change dump config setting back to false.
5. (optional) If looking to reload into the existing server, delete the manager mapdb (.db and .dbp) files in application:data:mapdb
6. Follow instructions in /scripts/load.py to upload the json data to the new server.
