Cloning wind data from one MongoDB instance to another ------------------------------------------------------ 10200: MongoDB "dev" instance 10201: MongoDB "test" instance 10202: MontoDB "prod" instance connect to the mongo shell: e.g. /opt/mongodb/bin/mongo --port 10202 typical commands: show dbs displays all the databases on the server you are connected to use db_name switches to db_name on the same server show collections displays a list of all the collections in the current database First, export the WIND_TRACKS collection from one database. For example... /opt/mongodb/bin/mongoexport --port 10202 -d winddb -c WIND_TRACKS > /tmp/wind-tracks-dev.json or with an additional query parameter if only want to export the wind of a specific race /opt/mongodb/bin/mongoexport --port 10202 -d winddb -c WIND_TRACKS -q "{ 'REGATTA_NAME': /Arenal Training Camps Regatta 2012/, 'RACE_NAME': /Laser/}" > /tmp/wind-tracks-dev.json To import the resulting JSON file into the DB instance call: /opt/mongodb/bin/mongoimport --port 10201 -d winddb -c WIND_TRACKS /tmp/wind-tracks-dev.json Name change of the TracTrac Account ----------------------------------- Update the wind track data mongo update command: db.WIND_TRACKS.update({REGATTA_NAME: "Sailing Team Germany"}, { $set: {REGATTA_NAME: "Academy Tracking 2011"}}, true, true) or something along the lines of: db.eval(function() { db.RACE_LOGS.find({"RACE_LOG_IDENTIFIER.a": /ESS 2013 Porto*/, "RACE_LOG_EVENT.RACE_LOG_EVENT_CLASS" : "RaceLogWindFixEvent"}).forEach(function(e) { if (e.RACE_LOG_EVENT.WIND.DEGREE_BEARING < 0) { e.RACE_LOG_EVENT.WIND.DEGREE_BEARING = e.RACE_LOG_EVENT.WIND.DEGREE_BEARING+360.; db.RACE_LOGS.save(e); }}); })
