Developer Portal Migration to Drupal 8

Steven Maglio

Notes: Drupal 8 Migration Notes

Links:

 Dev environment on the local machine. Lando - we will have a local copy and one in Pantheon.  Error upgrading the site, once resolved he will proceed. Keep track of errors and resolution. Keep in the Jira ticket. 

Advantages of Lando is having a repeatable development environment, that can be used by all. 

 Navodit - working on the workflow migration, need a custom work-around. 4 options: 1- custom script to migrate the data, 2 - migrate it from the Drupal 7 to the Drupal 8 database, 3 - look if someone else has done it, so far cannot find any examples, 4 - manually migrate the workflow. Currently exploring the options and then will make a decision.

Meeting and group focus year 2020
  • Project focus
    • In progress - Drupal 8  (see also Drupal 8 Migration High Level Requirements)
    • Pending - AWS - migrate the Heroku code and the sql server database
    • Pending - Account cleanup automation
    • Pending - Identity integration and automation 
  • Apigee Support
    • 1 FTE on the apigee team to help with student development oversight and support
    • Now the students have to contact so many groups to have their accounts setup, an FTE can really help with that. Adding the functionality to developer.ucsb.edu to create accounts.
      • Drupal - OK to work with a student
      • For other projects like identity account creation and others it will be difficult to work with a student
