This plugin can help upgrade site with a large number of question attempts from
Moodle 2.0 to 2.1.

With a lot of question attempts, doing the whole conversion on upgrade is very
slow. The plugin can help with that in various ways.


When installed in a Moodle 2.0 site:

1. It provies a report of how much data there is to upgrade.

2. It can extract test-cases from the database. This can help you report bugs
in the upgrade process to the developers.

3. You can set up cron to complete the conversion of quiz attempts, if you have
configured a partial upgrade.


If this plugin is present during upgrade:

4. then only a subset of attempts are upgraded. Read the instructions in the
partialupgrade-example.php script.


If this plugin is present in a Moodle 2.1 site after upgrade:

5. If not all attempts have been upgraded in a 2.1 site, then this plugin
displays a list of how many quizzes still need to be upgraded

6. ... and can be used to complete the upgrade manually ...

7. or this plugin has a cron script that can be used to finish the upgrade
automatically after the main upgrade has finished.

8. It can also reset any attempts that were upgraded (provided they have not
subsequently been modified) so you can re-upgrade them. This may allow you to
recover from a buggy upgrade.

9. Finally, you can still use the extract test-cases script to help report bugs.
