School Export not working

Asked by Romano

Hi all

I have tried the School Export function several times.
It never worked.
Now I got a set of messages on my Home page. "Generating school export..."

How do I delete these processes.

Then looking at how to get it working.
I went through some of the debugging hints. Checking processes and error logs.
I could not find anything useful.

Can anybody send me the right direction please.

Regards
Romano

Your imports are definitely confusing the system (that is, managing to not actually generate an error and hanging in some way), and it is possible the event system is waiting for your import to complete before scheduling any more asynchronous events. If you restart the server that might help.

You should nuke the database (/var/lib/schooltool/Data.fs) at this point.

Hi Tom
moved the Data.fs to Data_BackUp.fs then did a reboot of server.
Did a minimal set up of SchoolTool and imported the file with only the 196 Student names.
This looks like it is doing it but I can not find the students...
What am I missing.

Romano

Export

After all that just tried the export again. Same scenario.
The process starts but never gets to an end?

Any ideas?

How far into the process does it get? Do you get the dialog? Do you get any progress bars?

Scheduled.

You can close this dialog and download the exported data later from your home page.

get a beachball (flower) turning... never stops

Hi all

I need to import the student with 10 additional attributes.

For what I understand it is best to set up the attributes in SchoolTool, export a file and use this a template.

As you see I got massive problems to export even the base setting.

I have to report back to the parent committee this following Saturday.
I tried to sell SchoolTool as the solution for our DB. Not looking good at this point in time...

Can anybody help me to get this over the line?

Have you ever been able to do an export? With a completely fresh instance? After only setting up the demographics?

Let me see if I have this straight:

- we couldn't find anything apparently out of order from the troubleshooting steps: http://book.schooltool.org/troubleshooting.html
- you DID eventually get an import to work?
- you've never gotten an export to work

YES Import is now working
The export still goes into a never ending spinn. NOT working.
