Set up Dspace 7.2

[LSBU]

Hello, I would like to know some parameters for my Dspace 7.2:

1- How to create a user group on the terminal ?

2- how to add a user on the terminal ?

3- how to import users from the terminal ?

4- what are the services to start after restarting the server to make Dspace functional ?

5- how to automate these services so that they start automatically at server startup ?

6- how to improve response times if we perform a search from the portal.5 ?

7- What are the data and configuration files to backup so that in case of a problem, we can restore our database?

That is quite outdated now. You should consider upgrading to 7.5 at
your earliest convenience.

That is not implemented.

'bin/dspace user --add --help' will show you the options. 'bin/dspace
user --help' will show you other things you can do with user accounts
from the command line.

The 'user' command is documented at
https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Managing+User+Accounts

The command line tools are summarized at

You can make a script of 'add' commands and run it with 'bin/dspace read'.

You will need your Servlet container (usually Tomcat), Solr, and the
DBMS (usually PostgreSQL). If you have registered with the Handle
Service then you will also want to run the local Handle resolver.

That depends on your operating system. What are you running?

I don't understand "portal.5".

You need to back up the assetstore directories and a dump of the
database.

The DBMS has tools to dump and restore databases, and this is how you
should back them up. It is nearly impossible to get a consistent
backup of most database products' content by saving their raw files.

The assetstore can be backed up as-is.

You will also want to back up 'config/' and its subdirectories.
