In DSpace 1.8.0, there have been a few significant changes to how you upgrade and configure DSpace. Notably:
|
...
- Download DSpace 1.8 Either download DSpace 1.8 from DSpace.org or check it out directly from the SVN code repository. If you downloaded DSpace do not unpack it on top of your existing installation. Refer to Installation Instructions, Step 3 for unpacking directives.
- Merge any customizations. If you have made any local customizations to your DSpace installation they will need to be migrated over to the new DSpace. Customizations are typically housed in one of the following places:
Wiki Markup JSPUI modifications: {{\[dspace-source\]/dspace/modules/jspui/src/main/webapp/}}
Wiki Markup XMLUI modifications: {{\[dspace-source\]/dspace/modules/xmlui/src/main/webapp/}}
Wiki Markup Config modifications: \[dspace\]/config
- Set New Configurations. There are new configuration settings in the new release that add or change functionality that you will want to set according to your needs.
- TODO - Add new configuration changes.
- Build DSpace. Run the following commands to compile DSpace:
No Format cd [dspace-source]/dspace/ mvn -U clean package
Wiki Markup You will find the result in {{\[dspace-source\]/dspace/target/dspace-\[version\]-build.dir}} . Inside this directory is the compiled binary distribution of DSpace. Before rebuilding DSpace ('package'), the above command will clean out any previously compiled code ('clean') and ensure that your local DSpace JAR files are updated from the remote maven repository.
- Stop Tomcat. Take down your servlet container. For Tomcat, use the
$CATALINA/shutdown.sh
script. (Many Unix-based installations will have a startup/shutdown script in the/etc/init.d
or/etc/rc.d
directories.) - Update DSpace.
- Update the DSpace installed directory with the new code and libraries. Issue the following commands:
Code Block cd [dspace-source]/dspace/target/dspace-[version]-build.dir ant -Dconfig=[dspace]/config/dspace.cfg update
Note title Changes to the behavior of the 'ant update' script The
ant update
script has changed slightly as of DSpace 1.8.0. It now defaults to replacing your existing configuration files (after backing them up first). See the note under #Upgrading from 1.7.x to 1.8.x for more details. - Apply database changes to your database.
Warning title Backup Your Database First Applying a database change will alter your database! The database upgrade scripts have been tested, however, there is always a chance something could go wrong. So, do yourself a favor and create a backup of your database before you run a script that will alter your database.
Wiki Markup PostgreSQL: \[dspace-source\]/dspace/etc/postgres/database_schema_17-18.sql
Wiki Markup Oracle: \[dspace-source\]/dspace/etc/oracle/database_schema_17-18.sql
- Update the DSpace installed directory with the new code and libraries. Issue the following commands:
- Generate Browse and Search Indexes. The search mechanism has been updated in 1.8, so must perform a full reindex of your site for searching and browsing to work. To do this, run the following command from your DSpace install directory (as the dspace user):
Code Block [dspace]/bin/dspace index-init
Wiki Markup *Deploy Web Applications*. Copy the web applications files from your {{\[dspace\]/webapps}} directory to the subdirectory of your servlet container (e.g. tomcat):
- TODO: Is this step necessary? A much better way exists to configure your servlet container to "know" about the DSpace webapps.
Code Block cp -R [dspace]/webapps/* [tomcat]/webapps/
- TODO: Is this step necessary? A much better way exists to configure your servlet container to "know" about the DSpace webapps.
- Restart servlet container. Now restart your Tomcat/Jetty/Resin server program and test out the upgrade.
Optional: fix broken file statistics
Updating the file statistics will ensure that old file downloads statistics data will also be able to use the filter bundle feature. The benefit of upgrading is that only file withing for example the "ORIGINAL" bundle are shown as opposed to also showing statistics from the LICENSE bundle. For more information about this feature can be found here: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOCDEV/DSpace+Statistics#DSpaceStatistics-StatisticsdifferencesbetweenDSpace1.7.xand1.8.0
Warning | ||
---|---|---|

Applying this change will involve dumping all the old file statistics into a file and re uploading these. Therefore it is wise to create a backup of the {dspace.dir}/solr/statistics/data directory. It is best to create this backup when the Tomcat/Jetty/Resin server program isn't running. |
When a backup has been made start the Tomcat/Jetty/Resin server program.
The update script has one optional command which will if given not only update the broken file statistics but also delete file statistics for files that where removed from the system (if this option isn't active these statistics will receive the "BITSTREAM_DELETED" bundle name).
