Putting courses in subaccounts via the API

[Kenneth Mayer]

I'm trying to import SIS courses into the correct sub_accounts, but nothing seems to work.

Here is a great mystery.

The courses list shows 300+ courses,

The subaccount page shows 300+ courses all in the root account

But API queries show just 10 courses!

Here was the crude API I used in the console:
for(var i=0;i<200;i++) $.getJSON("/api/v1/accounts/"+i+"/courses", function(data) {  console.log(data); });   

At first I thought it was my browser console limiting reports to 10 objects, but It doesn't matter if the API query is done via PHP with my access_token or by console. (And there I did it by listing subaccounts and running a query for each subaccount instead of the crude way).

Why does the import ignore my account_id settings?

Thank you!
I still don't know why the courses aren't going to the proper subaccounts, but you've helped me with the diagnosis!

OK, the SIS Import is working now, but I have a problem.

We revised out sub-account structure, so I created new sub-accounts, and put the new Canvas account ID #s in our SIS. However, the SIS imports are not moving the courses to the new sub-accounts.

I tried using the SIS-Import interface on the website and clicked override UI stickiness, and it still did not work.

Is it possible to move courses to other subaccounts in any way except manually one-by-one?

Thanks!

Kenneth, you should be able to move courses from one sub-accounts to another by re-importing those courses vis SIS imports: however, sub-account id  should be 'SIS ID' not the Canvas generated numeric value.

Aha! Thank you! I'll try that and see what happens.
