[Dspace-tech] migrating test collections and communities

[Brianna Marshall]

Good afternoon,


At UW-Madison we are migrating from DSpace 1.5 to 4.1 and trying to figure out how to most easily migrate test collections and communities. I noticed the 1.5 simple exporter<http://dspace.org/sites/dspace.org/files/archive/1_5_2Documentation/ch09.html#N13795> - has anyone tested whether this works for 4.1? Any advice or resources you could point me to would be very helpful.


Thanks!

Brianna

Hi Brianna,

to understand your context and use case a little bit better: is there a
particular reason why you're not upgrading your entire database?

One area of the functionality & documentation that you may find interesting
is the AIP Backup & Restore functionality:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC4x/AIP+Backup+and+Restore

You can use this to pull out specific collections/communities, in case you
don't want the entire database.

Hi Brianna,

You also might wish to consider upgrading directly to DSpace 5.x, as 5.x
now will automatically upgrade your existing database schema to ensure
it's compatible with the latest version of DSpace. For more info see
the 5.x Release Notes (especially the 5.0 section):
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC5x/Release+Notes
