selectively transfering folders between labkey servers? Ben Bimber  2010-02-19 06:56

We have a test server and a production server. I also do a lot of development on my laptop. Is there any way to configure a folder on one labkey install, export the entire content, then import into another server?

I write as much as I can as simple modules, which are very portable. However, I do not know how to transfer the next level of tweaking like folders/subfolders, configuring which webparts are shown, etc. I've been able to co-opt the study export feature for data like lists (even when data is not actually a study), but this does not do everything.

Thanks.

Hi Ben,

The study export/import is the closest thing we have right now. Over time, we plan to attack this problem in two ways:

1. Continue to expand the things that are included in study export/import, and decouple the UI from being study-specific.
2. Allow file-based modules to include folder templates so that they can easily configure the web parts, etc.

Thanks,
Josh

That seems like a good plan. I'm all for non-study specific things not being linked the study module.

FYI: In 10.1, you can export lists to a list archive from the "manage lists" page and then import the archive into another folder/server.

i did see that - that's a nice feature.
