This article describes the steps for introducing certificates with expiry for EO PRD's.

Step-by-step guide

1. Remove all registration rules Registration Rules for Students for the PDR for which courses for which you want to introduce certificates (with expiry).  You are removing the rules from Edit --> Page Attributes.
2. Add certificate rules to the PDR
   1. Make sure the certificate is on the server. (Remote into the server and add it into the right folder Example C:\MarineLMS\TestCMG\CertificateTemplates) 
   2. Information about Certificate Rules: /wiki/spaces/CMD/pages/5432405514
   3. Create the certificate:

      1. createCertificate -- Usage: createCertificate [OrgPath] [ShortId] [DisplayName] [TemplateFileName]

   4. Set the validity of the certificate 
      

      1. setCertificateValidityDuration -- Usage SetCertificateValidityDuration [organization path] [base certificate short Id] [integer value for Validity Duration (or null)] 

   5. Add the certificate rule to the course:

      1.  addCertificateRule -- Usage addCertificateRule [course path] [certificate expression separated]
         
         

3. Award certificates to all latest completed registrations via client command reEvaluateCertificateRulesForLatestCompletedRegistration

   1. reEvaluateCertificateRulesForLatestCompletedRegistration [coursePath] [batchSize: optional, default Core.OfferingRuleEvaluatorBatchSize]

   2. If a registration has been completed longer than the expiry date of the certificate, check that the certificate is awarded (but expired right away).
   3. Make sure all latest completed registrations have a certificate

      1. getRegistrationCompletionRules [course path]

         addRegistrationCompletionRule [course path with or without path variations] [expression separated]

4. Add all registration rules (which takes the certificate expiry into account). Check that the registration completion rules match the certificate rules. 
5. Re-evaluate all registration rules so if someone did have an expired certificate they would get re-registered

   1. reEvaluateOfferingRulesByCoursePathMatch [RuleType (Registration, Instructor, All)] [coursePath] [terminalElement] [logOnly: optional, default false] [batchSize: optional, default Core.OfferingRuleEvaluatorBatchSize]

Make sure people who have completed the course were awarded a certificate and that people are getting registered
