Hello, I am trying to upgrade from 5.10 to latest 7.6 version. But my problem is a oracle database and trying migrate my data to postgresql using Ora2pg with Strawberry using the tutorial: https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSPACE/DSpace+Oracle+to+PostgreSQL+migration

But this tutorial was used to migrate Oracle data in version 6.x the Dspace to 7.x. and may have different settings to be followed in version 5.

What would be the best option?
1 - Migrate the oracle data to postgresql in the Dspace 5 version data structure and then, with a new installation of version 7.6, update the database structure.
or
2- Update the Oracle database to version 7.6 and then migrate the Oracle data to Postgres?

About the tutorial https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Migrating+DSpace+to+a+new+server
If I follow... it talks about pg_dump but it is for Postgres... can I do it in Oracle? What would be the correct sequence to execute and do this from Oracle?

My vote for option 1.  Is better and easier to check the migrated tables in Dspace 5, you are mor familiar with that version. Once  checked, plan for version 7

Best luck
