[Building Sakai] Import BlackBoard Questions/Test Pools

[Murphy, Kevin D]

Thank you Robert - so I have to create a new build using the source?  I can't add/enable this for an existing build using the Demo install?

Kevin,

Here's the Blackboard importer code. Follow the instructions in the README.md.

Hello,

  I'm having some trouble getting our Demo version of Sakai 10.4 to accept content from BlackBoard 9.1.  I've exported the content directly from BlackBoard, exported it from outside BlackBoard as a BlackBoard format (Examview) and tried several different methods in Sakai but the content is simply not showing up.

>From what I understand the method I should be using is, once I'm in the desired project (site), I click on Site Info, Import from Archie File then locate the Bb archive file and import.  This does not produce an error per say but it is very fast (processing last only a few seconds) and there is nothing in the question pool in Sakai or anywhere else that I can find when it finishes.   The file is always a ZIP file.

  I also found the /components/import-pack/WEB-INF/component.xml file and uncommented out the BB6 lines and restarted the server but this had no effect.  I should mention that Sakai is using the internal DB for storage as well (as a blob).    Any ideas what I could be missing here?   Another Sakai admin at a school said "I might be missing a Blackboard import code" , though not sure what he's referring to.
