- Backup your DSpace First and foremost, make a complete backup of your system, including:
- A snapshot of the database
Wiki Markup The asset store (_\[dspace\]/assetstore_ by default)
- Your configuration files and customizations to DSpace
Wiki Markup Your statistics scripts (_\[dspace\]/bin/stat\*_) which contain customizable dates
- Download DSpace 1.5.x Get the new DSpace 1.5 source code either as a download from SourceForge or check it out directly from the SVN code repository. If you downloaded DSpace do not unpack it on top of your existing installation.
- Build DSpace The build process has radically changed for DSpace 1.5. With this new release the build system has moved to a maven-based system enabling the various projects (JSPUI, XMLUI, OAI, and Core API) into separate projects. See the Installation section for more information on building DSpace using the new maven-based build system. Run the following commands to compile DSpace.
Code Block cd [dspace-source]/dspace/; mvn package
Wiki Markup You will find the result in _\[dspace-source\]/dspace/target/dspace-1.5-build.dir/_; inside this directory is the compiled binary distribution of DSpace.
- Stop Tomcat Take down your servlet container, for Tomcat use the bin/shutdown.sh script.
Wiki Markup *Update* *{_}dspace.cfg{_}* Several new parameters need to be added to your _\[dspace\]/config/dspace.cfg_. While it is advisable to start with a fresh _DSpace 1.5 \_dspace.cfg_ configuration file\_ here are the minimum set of parameters that need to be added to an old _DSpace 1.4.2 configuration_.
Code Block #### Stackable Authentication Methods ##### # # Stack of authentication methods # (See org.dspace.authenticate.AuthenticationManager) # Note when upgrading you should remove the parameter: # plugin.sequence.org.dspace.eperson.AuthenticationMethod plugin.sequence.org.dspace.authenticate.AuthenticationMethod = \ org.dspace.authenticate.PasswordAuthentication ###### JSPUI item style plugin ##### # # Specify which strategy use for select the style for an item plugin.single.org.dspace.app.webui.util.StyleSelection = \ org.dspace.app.webui.util.CollectionStyleSelection ###### Browse Configuration ###### # # The following configuration will mimic the previous # behavior exhibited by DSpace 1.4.2.

- Add 'xmlui.xconf' Manakin configuration The new Manakin user interface available with DSpace 1.5 requires an extra configuration file that you will need to manually copy it over to your configuration directory.
Code Block cp [dspace-source]/dspace/config/xmlui.xconf [dspace]/config/xmlui.xconf
- Add 'item-submission.xml' and 'item-submission.dtd' configurable submission configuration The new configurable submission system that enables an administrator to re-arrange, or add/remove item submission steps requires this configuration file. You need to manually copy it over to your configuration directory.
Code Block cp [dspace-source]/dspace/config/item-submission.xml [dspace]/config/item-submission.xml cp [dspace-source]/dspace/config/item-submission.dtd [dspace]/config/item-submission.dtd
- Add new 'input-forms.xml' and 'input-forms.dtd' configurable submission configuration The input-forms.xml now has an included dtd reference to support validation. You'll need to merge in your changes to both file/and or copy them into place.
Code Block cp [dspace-source]/dspace/config/input-forms.xml [dspace]/config/input-forms.xml cp [dspace-source]/dspace/config/input-forms.dtd [dspace]/config/inputforms.dtd
- Add 'sword-swap-ingest.xsl' and 'xhtml-head-item.properties' crosswalk files New crosswalk files are required to support SWORD and the inclusion of metadata into the head of items.
Code Block cp [dspace-source]/dspace/config/crosswalks/sword-swap-ingest.xsl [dspace]/config/crosswalks/sword-swap-ingest.xsl cp [dspace-source]/dspace/config/crosswalks/xhtml-head-item.properties [dspace]/config/crosswalks/xhtml-head-item.properties
- Add 'registration_notify' email files A new configuration option (registration.notify = you@your-email.com) can be set to send a notification email whenever a new user registers to use your DSpace. The email template for this email needs to be copied.
Code Block cp [dspace-source]/dspace/config/emails/registration_notify [dspace]/config/emails/registration_notify
- Update the database The database schema needs updating. SQL files contain the relevant updates are provided, note if you have made any local customizations to the database schema you should consult these updates and make sure they will work for you.
Wiki Markup For PostgreSQL _psql \-U \[dspace-user\] \-f \[dspace-source\]/dspace/etc/database_schema_14-15.sql \[database-name\]_
Wiki Markup For Oracle _\[dspace-source\]/dspace/etc/oracle/database_schema_142-15.sql_ contains the commands necessary to upgrade your database schema on oracle.
Wiki Markup *Apply any customizations* If you have made any local customizations to your DSpace installation they will need to be migrated over to the new DSpace. Commonly these modifications are made to "JSP" pages located inside the _\[dspace 1.4.2\]/jsp/local_ directory. These should be moved _\[dspace-source\]/dspace/modules/jspui/src/main/webapp/_ in the new build structure. See Customizing the JSP Pages for more information.
Wiki Markup *Update DSpace* Update the DSpace installed directory with new code and libraries. Inside the _\[dspace-source\]/dspace/target/dspace-1.5-build.dir/_ directory run:
Code Block cd [dspace-source]/dspace/target/dspace-1.5-build.dir/; ant -Dconfig=[dspace]/config/dspace.cfg update
- Update the Metadata Registry New Metadata Registry updates are required to support SWORD.
Code Block cp [dspace-source]/dspace/config/registries/sword-metadata.xml [dspace]/config/registries/sword-metadata.xml; [dspace]/bin/dsrun org.dspace.administer.MetadataImporter -f [dspace]/config/registries/sword-metadata.xml
- Rebuild browse and search indexes One of the major new features of DSpace 1.5 is the browse system which necessitates that the indexes be recreated. To do this run the following command from your DSpace installed directory:
Code Block [dspace]/bin/index-init
Wiki Markup *Update statistics scripts* The statistics scripts have been rewritten for DSpace 1.5. Prior to 1.5 they were written in Perl, but have been rewritten in Java to avoid having to install Perl. First, make a note of the dates you have specified in your statistics scripts for the statistics to run from. You will find these in _\[dspace\]/bin/stat-initial_, as _$start_year_ and _$start_month_. Note down these values.Copy the new stats scripts:
Code Block cp [dspace-source]/dspace/bin/stat* [dspace]/bin/
Wiki Markup Then edit your statistics configuration file with the start details. Add the following to _\[dspace\]/conf/dstat.cfg{_}_\# the year and month to start creating reports from{_}_\# - year as four digits (e.g. 2005)__\# - month as a number (e.g. January is 1, December is 12)_{_}start.year = 2005{_}{_}start.month = 1_ Replace '2005' and '1' as with the values you noted down. _dstat.cfg_ also used to contain the hostname and service name as displayed at the top of the statistics. These values are now taken from _dspace.cfg_ so you can remove _host.name_ and _host.url_ from _dstat.cfg_ if you wish. The values now used are _dspace.hostname_ and _dspace.name_ from _dspace.cfg_
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):
Code Block cp [dspace]/webapps/* [tomcat]/webapps/
- Restart Tomcat Restart your servlet container, for Tomcat use the bin/startup.sh script.
Upgrading From 1.4.1 to 1.4.2
