Getting Configurations Out of the Sandbox Before Refresh

Presentation Topic Description
With the new sandbox refresh policy Ex Libris refreshes our premium sandboxes twice a year with prod data, whether we want it or not! Getting configurations out of the sandbox is a challenge, because they’re all in different places and can’t be retrieved all at once in batch.
This presentation will introduce various methods we used at Tufts to get these configurations out, including scripting against the API using several Python libraries to make this job easier.
Unfortunately you can’t ingest these configurations back into the sandbox. While these methods capture the existing configuration with various degrees of manual interaction, I’ll promote the idea of Ex Libris making exporting and importing configurations in batch more seamless.
