AIP Import error in Dspace 6.3

[Rupinder Singh]

Hi, 

I have a production server where I'm running Dspace 6.3, that repository has handle number 32116, which is mentioned in the dspace.cfg file and also in the handle table of the databases. I was able to successfully export the entire site in AIP format. 

then i installed the same version of Dspace 6.3 but with latest dependencies, like latest PostgreSQL 14, latest java, and latest tomcat etc. it was installed successfully, the site is working, and i have created an administrator (l...@cup.edu.in) with the CLI as the initial configuration. rest other is blank. 

So when i try to import the entire site AIP backup, using the following command it gives an error.

jesse@Library:/dspace/bin$ sudo ./dspace packager -s -a -f -t AIP -e l...@cup.edu.in -p 32116/0 /home/jesse/Documents/KR@CUP/AIP/allsite/entiresite.zip

This may take a while, please check your logs for ongoing status while we process each package.

upon checking the log i found that , it successfully read all the user information , and tried creating the e-people as well. but after that nothing appears, and this error shows on cli.. 

however i don't see any changes in the web UI (no groups, no e-people). I have also attached the copy of my mets.xml file from my allsite AIP zip folder. 

Where I'm doing wrong.  I need to migrate my dspace from one server to another. please help me.

Hi Rupinder,

From what I see, you are upgrade Dspace, where I make a site backup with AIP, 

I prefer, just do pg_dump, than psql -f ..., etc.
I guess that you make a export using ... dspace packager -a -d -t AIP -e ...  -i 32116/0  entiresite.zip

I guess again that you are restoring to a new instance os Dspace, not the production .

In this new instance,  you already create dspace database and crypto extension. 
Now, to restore to these new instace

you will  do dspace packager -r -k -t AIP -e l...@cup.edu.in -i 32116/o  entiresite.zip

Please not that -p  is about parent, when while -s  will insert using this reference as parent.

I hope that help you.
