Before getting connected,
Note: IntelliBoard strongly recommends the individual configuring the IntelliBoard connection must be a Site Administrator of Moodle with the ability to enable web services, change web protocols, and create Moodle tokens.
IntelliBoard is a web-based service. If your LMS is behind a firewall, a port will need to be configured for the IntelliBoard service to connect. For more information about IP addresses, contact us!
- FIRST! Contact us at helpdesk@intelliboard.net for IntelliBoardNext Plugin!
- HERE for the steps to installing the Plugin.

Note: If you want to bring some extra tables from any local custom integration please make sure you are using XMLDB as part of your Moodle plugin standard configuration in order to document your customized tables, our IntelliData plugin will only read data from Moodle plugins that use XMLDB for further information please refer to: https://docs.moodle.org/dev/XMLDB_defining_an_XML_structure
Step 1: Start the Migrations at IntelliData plugin settings
When plugin the IntelliBoard NEXT plugin is successfully installed, you need to migrate data from your production database to zip files, for this process we have two ways:
- Via command line (fast but may cause a significant load on the server)
- Via Cron tasks (slow)
1: Via Command Line: You need to run the following commands:
cd public_html/local/intellidata/cli
php migration_process.php
php export_process.php
2: Via Cron Tasks: You need to:
- Set the Migration processing limit to, 100,000
- Make sure that Export Process limit is set to 100,000
- Enable Export files during migration in plugin settings
- Enable Reset Migration Process in plugin settings
- Under User Tracking Search for Compress Tracking and select: Save to Moodle Data
Step 2: Enable the Migration Schedule task
Now you need to enable schedule task \local_intellidata\task\migration_task located at Site Administration\Server\Scheduled tasks:
- By default, the task will be disabled we need to enable it, once you locate the task, click the "Gear" icon:
- Once you are into the Migration Task settings, you need to:
-
Change the Minute value to */5
-
Uncheck the "Disabled" checkbox
-
Save changes
-
To trigger the task to run immediately, make sure path to PHP is set: System Paths - Moodle Docs
Then you will be able to click the “Run now” link in the “Last run” column, next to the migration task.
Note: If you use the Task Scheduler and Run Now link, you will need to run the task more than once to complete the migration, especially on a large site.
Keep clicking “Run Again” unless you see an error until all files have been processed. See the Migrations page under the Local Plugins and make sure all files have been created.
Step 3: Prepare Cache: Only when migrations are finished, you can go to Edit connection inside http://next.intelliboard.net/ and Prepare Cache
