NAME

sreview-import - Import an event schedule from an event's upstream

SYNOPSIS

sreview-import

DESCRIPTION

sreview-import instantiates a schedule_format schedule parser, and makes sure that first, all events and talks in the parsed schedule exist in the SReview database, and second, that all events and talks which exist in the SReview database for a found event but which do not exist in the parsed schedule are marked as ignored. Currently two parsers are implemented: the penta parser which parses the Pentabarf XML format as implemented by Pentabarf itself, and the wafer parser which parses the Pentabarf XML format as implemented by the wafer event management software (which has a few differences that would otherwise break sreview-import's idempotency).

The location of the event schedule is to be passed to the schedule parser using the relevant option of that parser; most support the url option for a URL.

CONFIGURATION

sreview-import considers the following configuration values:

dbistring

The DBI string used to connect to the database. Required.

schedule_format

The format of the schedule. Required. Must be implemented as a subclass of SReview::Schedule::Base.

schedule_options

Any options to be provided to the parser. Should be a hash; which keys are supported depends on the relevant parser. See the parser's documentation for details (e.g., SReview::Schedule::Penta for the penta parser.
