[Building Sakai] Automating Course Creation sites

[Berg, Alan]

Hi Shoaib,

Have you looked around the contrib projects. I noticed https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/IMSES/Simple+Sakai+SIS+Services donated by Unicon. It appears to use a Quartz job to pull in data via CSV.

Hello Alan,

Many thanks for your reply, I have created a site using web service and it is working fine. I can add/edit/delete tools using web services and can add/edit/delete users as well using web services. The only problem i facing is how can I associate rosters / enrollment sets (in DB tables with prefix CM_XXxXX_XXx_T) like CM_ENROLLMENT_SET_T with the course sites.

Regards
MUHAMMAD SHOAIB

Hi,

You can do this through webservices either soap or REST.

You can also consider via a Sakai tool.
We have some example provisioning or courses created by HTMLunit.

Some SIS use the quartz tool to pull in custom data. Does anyone have some example code to point at?
Stephen Giffens has an example grinder script, but this is not recommended for SIS's.

Hope this starts to help,
