Exchanging data¶
Planop can exchange data with other planop installations, by dumping and loading
information into a json data file
.
Loading¶
To load information from a json file:
python manage.py planopload path/to/xx.json
The information of the json file gets loaded into the database. It will not override existing data. Mind that depending on the information in the json file, items may be linked to existing items.
Dumping¶
You can dump the entire planop database into a json file with the command:
python manage.py dumpdata > xx.json
If you need to dump only part of the planop information, you will need to write
a small script selecting exactly the data you want to dump.
All objects have a dump
method, you can use to print out the info.
An example script to dump a deviations suggestion list:
import sys
sys.path.append('path/to/planop/')
from django.core.management import setup_environ
import settings
setup_environ(settings)
from analyses.deviations.models import DeviationSuggestionlist
from utils.versioning.models import WorkVersion
def main():
sl = DeviationSuggestionlist.objects.get_versionedobject(v_id=1, version=WorkVersion)
print sl.dump()
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
