[GeoNode-users] First implementation of Layer migration scripts using JSON fixtures

[Alessio Fabiani]

Dear all,
please find here

https://github.com/GeoNode/geonode/commit/f10163a3ffdb73a4bdfdedc0308427d014354ec4

a first implementation of a script able to use the JSON fixtures backedup
by backup command, mangle them and add the layers and maps (along with
attributes and metadata) to a GeoNode instance.

The script is able to import also Layers and Maps from GeoNode 2.0
accordingly to the configuration.

Notice that the script ADDs the resources to an existing instance, even if
it has Layers and Maps already configured. Just be sure to not add
duplicates otherwise GeoNode will complain about it.

*WARNING: *Still missing the GeoServer automatic part. The GeoServer data
for the moment must be replicated manually. This is a work-in-progress.

*NOTICE:* Working on converting the script into a DJango management command
like the backup and restore ones.

How the script works
===================

1. It needs basically two things:

   a) JSON fixtures from GN 2.0 or 2.4 in a zip file (those can be obtained
using the backup command)

   b) An existing user defined into the target GeoNode which will became
the new owner of the layers.

2. Edit the settings.ini file as follows:

[targetdb]
dbname = geonode_rst
host   = localhost
port   = 5432
user   = geonode
passwd = geonode

[fixtures]
#NOTE: Order is important
apps   =
people,account,avatar.avatar,base.license,base.topiccategory,base.region,base.resourcebase,base.contactrole,base.link,base.restrictioncodetype,base.spatialrepresentationtype,guardian.userobjectpermission,guardian.groupobjectpermission,layers.uploadsession,layers.layer,layers.attribute,maps.map,maps.maplayer,documents.document,taggit

dumps  =
people,accounts,avatars,licenses,topiccategories,regions,resourcebases,contactroles,links,restrictioncodetypes,spatialrepresentationtypes,useropermissions,groupopermissions,uploadsessions,layers,attributes,maps,maplayers,documents,tags

# Migrate from GN 2.0 to GN 2.4
#migrations =
base.resourcebase,layers.layer,layers.attribute,maps.map,maps.maplayer
#manglers   =
gn20_to_24.ResourceBaseMangler,gn20_to_24.LayerMangler,gn20_to_24.LayerAttributesMangler,gn20_to_24.MapMangler,gn20_to_24.MapLayersMangler

# Migrate from GN 2.4 to GN 2.4
*migrations =
base.resourcebase,layers.layer,layers.attribute,maps.map,maps.maplayer*
*manglers   =
gn24_to_24.ResourceBaseMangler,gn24_to_24.LayerMangler,gn24_to_24.LayerAttributesMangler,gn24_to_24.DefaultMangler,gn24_to_24.MapLayersMangler*


*NOTICE* that the setting file associates specific *manglers* to the
geonode apps. They can still be customized accordingly to your needs or you
can implement your own ones.

3. Launch the migration as follows:

python migrate_layers.py <backup_zip_file> <owner>

e.g.: python migrate_layers.py backup/2016-02-25_180915.zip admin


And that's it.
If everything goes fine you will find the new Layers and Maps on GeoNode.

*NOTICE *that the script computes automatically the primary keys for the
new resources.

Best Regards,
Alessio Fabiani.
