      • Click settings next to "External Database" . Fill in the details for external database course sync

      Testing scenario 1

      1) In the remote database , add a record that contains a value for course column  that does not exists in Moodle , so that you can trigger creation of the course.

      2) From command line, execute "/usr/bin/php /path/to/moodle/enrol/database/cli/sync.php". Check the newly created course:

      • Course start date is set to the date when the cron job was executed and the sync took place
      • Moodle 3.3: Course end date is set to today's date and is disabled
      • Moodle 3.4 onwards: Course end date is set to today's date + one year and is enabled

      Testing scenario 2

      1) As an admin, go to Site administration -> Courses -> Course default settings and uncheck "Course end date enabled by default" (only Moodle 3.4 onwards).

      2) In the remote database , add a record that contains a value for course column  that does not exists in Moodle , so that you can trigger creation of the course.

      When our Moodle courses are automatically created by the Database enrollment module, they're created with a startdate of 0 and an enddate of the epoch. As a result, they all show up in the users' "Past Courses" until the dates are manually adjusted.
