Hi all,

We are using DSpace 1.6.2 and trying to retain Handle resolving on exiting items after merging two DSpace instances into on repository. I have already got CNRI to update all the desired prefixes using the same sitebndl.zip package. Also updated the handle config.dct as follow:

  ......
"server_admins" = (
"300:0.NA/1885"
)

"replication_admins" = (
"300:0.NA/1885"
)

"max_session_time" = "86400000"
"this_server_id" = "1"
"max_auth_time" = "60000"
"backup_admins" = (
"300:0.NA/1885"
)

Now where do I include the second prefix number? do I also need to include it in the dspace.cfg?


Furthermore, while looking at Dsapce 1.6.2 handle plug-in implementation, I found this comment along this code:

 public boolean haveNA(byte[] theHandle) throws HandleException
    {
    ......

/// This parameter allows the dspace handle server to be capable of having multiple // name authorities assigned to it. So long as the handle table the alternative prefixes // defined the dspace will answer for those handles prefixes. This is not ideal and only // works if the dspace instances assumes control over all the items in a prefix, but it // does allow the admin to merge together two previously separate dspace instances each // with their own prefixes and have the one instance handle both prefixes. In this case // all new handle would be given a unified prefix but all old handles would still be
// resolvable./
.....

Can anyone shed any light on this feature?

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks,
Osama Alkadi
