[Dspace-tech] Migrating data from Postgres to Oracle in DSpace 1.4.1
Hello, We are about to upgrade our DSpace installation from 1.3.1 to 1.4.1 and also want to move our data from the Postgres database to an Oracle database. What things should we be aware of when doing this data migration? What are the steps involved? Also, should the migration to Oracle take place before or after our DSpace update? Regards, Shaun.

[Dspace-tech] dspace default statistics
In the default dspace installation, what exactly does the error below mean? Passed log directory is not a directory According to the install documentation. All one would have to do is customize the perl scripts stat-general etc., My assumptions here are one is supposed to set the directory in dstat.cfg to point to the location of the file dspace.log -yes? Certainly the original file seems to suggest that. With that done the perl scripts will run. I am running this in dspace 1.3.n thanks in advance. ./fxk - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [Dspace-tech] [Dspace-devel] DSpace 1.4.2
Just trying to get more scope for those who don't have time to review it or are unfamiliar with ICU4J. (Note Eclipse uses ICU4J in its default platform to allow better UTF-8 support, I have no problem with using it). thanks, Mark On Apr 4, 2007, at 11:25 AM, Graham Triggs wrote: > Hi, > > Unfortunately, the necessary Normalizer classes (java.text.Normalizer) > only formally entered the Java platform API as part of Java 6.

Re: [Dspace-tech] [Dspace-devel] DSpace 1.4.2
Hi, Unfortunately, the necessary Normalizer classes (java.text.Normalizer) only formally entered the Java platform API as part of Java 6. See: http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/javase/i18n_enhance/ The unofficial, undocumented sun.text.Normalizer appears to exist in all Sun Java2 platforms (I won't predict whether it exists in non-Sun implementations), and should be usable for our purposes in at least Java 1.3. See: http://lists.limewire.org/pipermail/codepatch/2003-March/74.html But relying on sun.text.* classes is really bad form. Despite it appearing to be a rather nominal distinction (according to the above post), it would be more reliable to depend on ICU4J until such a time that Java 6 became a requirement. I'm not sure why you've mentioned the XMLUI at this point - although it produces a visible change, all* the changes exist entirely inside the Java code, and what is written to the database browse tables. So whether you have the XMLUI or JSP, shouldn't make any difference - but if you are thinking of some other aspect that I haven't considered, please say so. * In fact, the patch only makes one-line changes to Browse.java in three places (where it inserts data into the tables). Everything else is additional code, except for ONE change to a JSP file, to in the admin tools to apply the same normalisation to the author name being entered for lookup, as it uses the sort_author column in the ItemsByAuthor table. Note that the above does mean that it needs to be integrated with Richard's patch when that is ready, but on the basis of what is currently available I've already designed this to have as little impact as possible.

Re: [Dspace-tech] [Dspace-devel] DSpace 1.4.2
Is ICU4J a requirement still if we switch to Java 5? In which case I'd push this off to DSpace1.5 (which will require Java 5 or greater). And if so, it should probably be the case that we explore its implementation in the XMLUI if any at all changes are needed. -Mark On Apr 4, 2007, at 4:53 AM, Graham Triggs wrote: > I wasn't going to push this patch earlier as it rather evolved into a > feature enhancement - but thinking about it again, for anyone that has > non-English content/authors in their repository, it's actually a > useful > bug fix: > > [ 1672065 ] Configurable sort order generation for browse > http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php? > func=detail&aid=1672065&group_id=19984&atid=319984 > > If you look at the example Shawna has (it's either on this page, or > the > next): > https://dspace.ucalgary.ca/browse-author?top=Austad%2C+Michele+L > > The author Žekulin appears in the middle of the list of authors > beginning with 'A'.

Re: [Dspace-tech] inser/delete into the metadatavalue table
I sent this question out a few days ago, and did not hear anything. If some one has some info on it, could you let me know.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Install help
Hi,
The default installation of Tomcat5.5 on Debian has the Java Security
Manager enabled - however it won't have any (appropriate) policies
defined.
As such, it is disallowing the ConfigurationManager from reading the
system property "dspace.configuration".
You either need to disable the security manager, or specify a policy to
allow access.
Disable security manager:
edit /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 and set "TOMCAT5_SECURITY" to "NO".
Adding a policy should be something like:
create /etc/tomcat5.5/policy.d/05dspace.policy with the contents:
grant codebase "file:${catalina.home}/webapps/dspace/-" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
This was taken from:
http://forums.pentaho.org/showthread.php?p=157283
Someone will probably shout if it's wrong!

Re: [Dspace-tech] [Dspace-devel] DSpace 1.4.2
I wasn't going to push this patch earlier as it rather evolved into a feature enhancement - but thinking about it again, for anyone that has non-English content/authors in their repository, it's actually a useful bug fix: [ 1672065 ] Configurable sort order generation for browse http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1672065&group_id=19984&atid=319984 If you look at the example Shawna has (it's either on this page, or the next): https://dspace.ucalgary.ca/browse-author?top=Austad%2C+Michele+L The author Žekulin appears in the middle of the list of authors beginning with 'A'. It may not be possible to define a single correct ordering, but in this case the existing behaviour just doesn't work for anyone. Amongst it's other capabilities, the above patch deals with this scenario, and lets people customise the ordering further if they choose. Whilst it allows for configuration, it does not require any configuration changes (closely emulating the existing DSpace behaviour - except for the addition of the character decomposition for the above case). It also doesn't change any existing APIs, or the database schema. The single biggest argument against it's inclusion would be that it adds an additional dependency: ICU4J. Unfortunate, but required for compatibility with earlier JDK releases, without resorting to undocumented Sun classes. The choice, as they say, is yours... ;-) G -- Graham Triggs Technical Architect Open Repository Tel: +44 (0)20 7631 9942 Skype: grahamtriggs On Mon, 2007-04-02 at 10:19 +0100, James Rutherford wrote: > Hi All, > > I'm pleased to announce that work has started on putting together DSpace > 1.4.2.
