DSpace 7.6.1 import "Error committing changes to database"

[David Tolmie]

Having recently upgraded from DSpace 5.6 to 7.6.1, we are attempting our first CLI SAF import into our new production system. When testing SAF imports into our staging server before going live with production, we had no issues importing. Now, we’re seeing the following error when importing into both production and staging systems:

We haven’t found an errors via strace or in the Postgres logs; we’ll turn up Postgres to debug logging when we keep poking at it tomorrow.

 

Any thoughts or suggestions as far as what might be going on? What we should look into more deeply?

 

Thanks,

We’ve resolved this issue. It was the result of a bad Authority configuration that snuck in after we’d tested batch import and didn’t seem to impact regular uploads through the UI.
