Change Dataverse.fqdn and Datavaserse.url for running live instance

[mspyroworld]

Hello together,

we want to change our Dataverse fqdn but I'm worried about the Dataverse DOI's. If I change the FQDN and URL is it still possible to access the "old" Datasets with the assigned DOI url? 

Best,

Hello, 

Changing the dataverse.fqdn and/or dataverse.siteUrl JVM options is NOT going to affect the pre-existing DOIs by itself. 

AS LONG AS the urls registered for the old DOIs are still resolving. (dataverse.siteUrl is the *preferred* url for your Dataverse installation; but it's perfectly ok to have multiple URLs!)

However, if the URL registered with any of your old DOIs really becomes unreachable, you will have to re-register the affected DOIs. 

For example, you have a DOI registered to redirect to https://dataverse.uofX.edu/, but the installation has been moved to https://dataverse.uofY.edu, and the old location is no longer valid. Then, once dataverse.siteUrl has been changed to the new url, you'll need to re-register the DOI, using the API, to update the location in their database.
