Problem with AIP while running the flag '-o skipIfParentMissing=true'

[Thiago Moreira]

Hello everyone,

I'm currently trying to migrate some data using AIP.

Backstory is we had an old Dspace version (5.5) and now we are switching to a new one, version 7+

While trying to restore using AIP at the new machine:

dspace packager -r -k -a -t AIP -e em...@email.com /path/AIP.zip

I get the Ingest Error: "Could not find a parent DSpaceObject referenced as 'xxx/xxx'"

When I set the flag as recommended '-o skipIfParentMissing=true' and run the same command, I get the following message:

"CREATED a total of 1 DSpace Objects." -> and it does not import.

I also tried to import a single community but I got the same error.

while running the first command (dspace packager -r -k -a) the users were normally imported. Running using the flag -r -f also did not work.

Any ideas of what I am doing wrong?

Hi,

Have you tried:

dspace packager -r -a -f -t AIP -o createMetadataFields=true -o skipIfParentMissing=true -e [email] -i [handle]/0 [path]/sitewide-aip.zip

The command above assumed that you have exported the entire site using the below command:

dspace packager -d -a -t AIP -e [email] -i [handle]/0 /path/sitewide-aip.zip

Hope this helps,

AFAIK createMetadataFields does not work after DSpace 5.x .

Sorry I answered euler in private, i'm new to Google Groups.

I ran what he suggested earlier and got the same result.

Also I believe the problem is with the creation of the new handle/0, perhaps something with the mets.xml file?

The children can't find their parents and cant recreate after because none was imported.

It's just an idea. Btw, do you think I should also ask for help in Github or just here is fine?

Thank you,

Thiago Moreira

HI, 

Did anyone get a clue of what the problem is? is there any bug in Dspace 7.X?
Im also trying to migrate from Dspace 6.2 to Dspace 7.4. the packager command is returning the following errors. (with and without the skip parent option)

jesse@library:/dspace/bin$ sudo ./dspace packager -r -a -f -t AIP -e dsp...@cup.edu.in -i 32116/1 -o createMetadataFields=true /dspace/AIP/administration/administration.zip

REPLACED DSpace COMMUNITY [ hdl=32116/1 ]

I'm also attaching the Dspace Log files for more details. 

Another thing i can do is to import individual collections using SAF from GUI, but that has a different problem, It won't let me upload a collection, which has any duplicate items. (I have some items which are part of multiple collections, so the system lets the first import go through, but gives a duplicate handle error upon importing another collection SAF which has an already imported item.)

The main motive is to migrate my repository by any means possible. please help.

 

Thanks in advance,
