Enabling Programs in Open edX

Sam_Joel · May 6, 2022, 2:20pm

Hi, We are new to open edx and we are facing some issues in enabling the programs in the LMS. As per my understanding programs are created in a separate service called the discovery service and for programs to appear in the LMS it needs to be enabled through programs api config. But when I go to the programs tab on the header and click on “Explore programs” its taking me to a completely irrelevant url. I guess this should be configuration mistake. But not sure how to go about fixing this.

Here are my screenshots:
LMS programs landing page:

Page after I click on "Explore programs"

My Programs Api config on lms:

I have two programs in my discovery service:

Any help, guidance or resources/tutorials are appreciated thanks.

try running those commands and see if it helps:

tutor local run discovery ./manage.py refresh_course_metadata --partner_code=openedx

tutor local run discovery ./manage.py update_index --disable-change-limit

tutor local run lms ./manage.py lms create_catalog_integrations --enabled
–internal_api_url=“”
–service_username=lms_catalog_service_user

tutor local run lms ./manage.py lms cache_programs

When you add a programs api config you add the path /programs.
In my understanding, this path should be a valid page that will consume the Discovery API to show the Catalog, Programs, etc.

The Discovery is to manage these things (catalog, programs, etc) and not to show them. We have a basic Programs view in OpenedX, but only this I believe.

@Manoj_kumar @edgar.rezende @erickhgm @Sam_Joel ,

I have tried it there is no programs page currently in Nutmeg. you can see programs if they were a part of a course which you have subscribed. For that purpose use Riche or any marketing site.

In discovery in edx user add LMS path and cms path first and then try to run these commands it will work.
