Exercise #1 - Install and Setup Data Import

May 10, 2019

This scenario assumes you have a fresh development instance of the Ed-Fi ODS 2.5 with the Populated Sandbox as a starting point (tested with the Populated Sandbox using the Grand Bend sample dataset). We define a mapping for Student Assessments, upload a CSV file to process with that mapping, and witness the TransformLoad process converting the CSV records to ODS JSON POSTs.

#1 - Download the Data Import Tech Preview ZIP file and save locally.

#2 - Unzip the file to C:\Ed-Fi

#3 - Run the Data Import web application in a development environment.

These instructions assume a typical development environment including IIS Express.
Unzip DataImport-TC2019.zip underneath C:\Ed-Fi
Open the unzipped folder and go into the DataImport.Web folder.
Run "run.bat"
Open the link listed in the command prompt (http://localhost:8080/)

#4 - Login and Register An Administration User

#5 - Navigate to "Configuration", Test API and Update Settings

#6 - Browse to Data Browser → Schools to verify API connection

#7 - Back to the Lab for next exercises:
