      This issue requires new QA tests, previously there was not much to test because only restore of manual enrolments worked properly.

      1/ create backups on different sites using different settings and enrolment instances (with/without users)

      2/ verify different restore types (new course, override and add content) with the "Restore as manual enrolments" enabled - it is expected that all enrolments are merged into one manual enrol instance

      3/ verify different restore types (new course, override and add content) with the "Restore as manual enrolments" disabled

      • manual enrolments are restored
      • self enrolments may be merged with existing instances if role matches
      • there is max 1 guest enrol instance
      • all other enrolment types are not supposed to be restored (yet)
      • verify instance sortorder matches the original course

      Note: MDL-27856 implements cohort restore, it could be tested together with this issue.

    Description

      List of solved problems:

      • no way to restore enrolments from disabled/nonexistent/nonrestorable plugins - solution is to add option to "Restore as manual enrolments" options which migrates data to standard enrol_manual plugin
      • no way to map/alter custom fields - such as roles or userid stored in customintX fields
      • roles need to be restored AFTER the enrolments because they need new enrolid
      • enrol->sortorder should be converted to XML field order, we do not need the value in backup file at all
      • support for multiple enrol-self instances
      • trigger automatic sync of all enrol plugins before the restore of first instance - this creates course category enrolments for example, it might trigger LDAP sync, etc.
      • let enrol plugins create instances, enrolments and role assignments - we need as much flexibility as possible, let plugins decide eveything

      Not included in this issue:

      • ability to backup/restore extra tables of enrol plugins
      • only self, manual and guest plugins are fully implemented, the rest will follow if this gets integrated
