Andre, Between the DSpace 1.6.2 and 1.7.0 releases, the ItemImporter underwent several improvements & bug fixes. However, I'm unaware of any bugs relating to not keeping around the handle, though it's possible there may have been a bug that we unknowingly fixed in 1.7.0.
If you'd like to see a list of these bug fixes to the import script, they are listed in the 1.7.0 section of the "History" page of the Documentation: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC18/History#History-ChangesinDSpace1.7.0 You'd specifically want to search/scan that area for the word "import". I see four specific fixes that were applied in DSpace 1.7.0: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-662 https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-736 https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-629 https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-743 I'm not sure if this is much help, but that's the all I'm able to determine has changed between 1.6.2 and 1.7.0. - Tim On 9/27/2012 1:35 PM, André wrote: > Dear helix, > > I've made some experiments in this period of time, and concluded that > moving between two DSpace 1.7 (or 1.8) installations everything works > fine in keeping the handle, but when I'm moving between two DSpace 1.6.3 > or from one DS1.7 to a DS1.6 it does not work; in both cases the handles > are not kept, even though I see a "handle" file in the exported > directory and I supress the "--migrate" argument. > > Is there any known bug in DS1.6.2 importer related to not keeping the > handle? > > Thank you and regards > > Andre > > > 2012/8/27 helix84 <heli...@centrum.sk <mailto:heli...@centrum.sk>> > > On Mon, Aug 27, 2012 at 4:03 PM, André <andre.ass...@usp.br > <mailto:andre.ass...@usp.br>> wrote: > > when moving items between - for instance - a test and a > production DSpace > > installation, one should export using the "--migrate" argument so > that the > > (date.accessioned, date.available, date.issued, > description.provenance, > > format.extent, format.mimetype and the identifier.uri) metadata > will be > > removed to receive new data from the import. > > Hi André, > > the question is - do you actually care about the values of these > metadata fields? > > If not, you can just take them with you to the other repository > unchanged. > > You can use AIP to transfer the whole object along with the handle. > You may want to take a look at the "submission mode" when restoring > and using the "-o ignoreHandle=false" option: > > https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC18/AIP+Backup+and+Restore#AIPBackupandRestore-Thedifferencebetween%22Submit%22and%22Restore%2FReplace%22modes > The question then is what happens if you're copying the item over > second time (i.e. if it already exists in the target repository from a > previous import). > > Regards, > ~~helix84 > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Everyone hates slow websites.
