We've appreciated all the great feedback on Canvas Data 2 since we released it in March. Today we are going to share some updates on planned features as well as guidance related to timelines and migration.
First up, we’re happy to report that weblogs (requests table in CD1 terminology) work is on schedule and we are planning to release it to production on June 21st with our normal Canvas Release cycle. We will provide you with guides and suggestions once it’s available to make your transition as smooth as possible as we know this is highly anticipated.
Next, we’ve added a CD2 sandbox environment which is seeded with dummy data and refreshed every 2 hours. The sandbox is a great way to explore and test as you build out the integration prior to pulling your full data sets. We recommend that customers get started with the sandbox as soon as possible and prior to Instructure onboarding of your data. This will help you understand what to expect prior to your migration.
The sandbox can be accessed with an API key that your Customer Success Manager can provide upon request so you can begin your testing. The API key will remain active for 6 months while you work on your integration. There are guides and resources to help you get started, you can find them on Community under Canvas Data 2. To highlight a few:
- The CLI and Python client Library Provides a reference solution for loading data into a Postgres DB and for existing CD1 customers
- The CD1 to CD2 mapping sheet will help with re-mapping the existing reports.
- Technical FAQ for best practices and troubleshooting
As always we value your feedback, suggestions and support as we help build a data powered future together.
