I was transferring a few collections from a DSpace 1.5.2 development server to a production instance this morning and encountered a small issue with the dspace_migrate bash script. Since the item exporter in 1.6 has a migrate option (-m flag) this script might get removed, so I'm posting this simple fix just in case anyone else encounters the same problem.
Transferring Items Between DSpace Instances: http://www.dspace.org/1_5_2Documentation/ch09.html#N1382D DSpace System Documentation lists the auto-generated fields the dspace_migrate script removes from dublin_core.xml prior to moving a collection (date.accessioned, date.available, description.provenance, etc.). The script also removes the handle file. When I attempted to import the collection into the production instance, I ended up with two handles-- one newly created and one left over from the dev server because it was still listed in the dublin_core.xml file as a dc.identifier.uri value. Here's the fix: Lines 101 and 104 perform the deletion of several element/qualifier pairs from the dublin_core.xml metadata, but a small typo occurs twice on the lines that should remove the handle. Removing one character from both lines fixes the problem. This: | $SED "/element=\"identifier\" qualifier=\"uri\"\>http:\/\/hdl/d" Should be this: | $SED "/element=\"identifier\" qualifier=\"uri\">http:\/\/hdl/d" Note: removing the extra escape character (backslash \) before the greater than (>) symbol causes the script to correctly remove any dc.identifier.uri that starts with http://hdl without removing any non-handle URIs nor removing any local accession numbers stored in dc.indentifer.other. I hope this helps, John Davison OhioLINK DRC ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
