Rollover

Rolling all UG or PG programmes in one year over to the next, can be achieved by using the provided roll over task. The task will create an unpublished duplicate of each programme in the "from" year in the "new" year, that can then be edited and updated before being published on the live system.

This task is designed to aid in the annual rollover process and may resemble the following

php artisan rollover:ug 2012 2013 --env=local

The command requires both a "from" year (2012 in the above) and a to year (2013 in the above), and can be run with either UG or PG programmes. The laravel env setting may also need to be provided to ensure the task is run using the correct config.

If you need to roll over a large number of programmes, you may also need to increase the php memory limit for the command by using somthing like

php -d memory_limit=512M artisan rollover:ug 2014 2015 --env=www-dev
