Hi Steven, What does your "dspace database info" command return? We'd need more information here to help debug it. This seems like a very odd error to me as well, as that migration was initially added in 5.7 and ported to 6.1... so, if you were already running 6.1 or above, this migration should have already run for you.
That said, it's possible your "dspace database info" command would provide us with additional hints. I'm assuming that somehow this migration may not have ever been applied to your 6.x site....and now that you are updating to 7.x, it's causing issues.

Thanks Joel, I appreciate the help. I guess I should search the Jira for Dspace on their github repo, and / or submit this bug. I am assuming they have a Jira and a github repo.Let me run those commands, and I will share.

Can you share the results of the following commands? [dspace]/bin/dspace database validate [dspace]/bin/dspace database info It's suspicious that you started on version 6 and the Flyaway migration is attempting to issue a patch for something that existed in version 5.7. Just for fun, you might want to try this, too, if you haven't already.

We get this message on DB migration: Migration V5.7_2017.04.11__DS-3563_Index_metadatavalue_resource_type_id_column.sql failed When we attempt to update the DB, if fails right there, because it is (?) trying to create a field WHICH APPARENTLY DOES NOT EXIST in 6.x or 7.x from a previous field THAT NEVER EXISTED ON OUR 6.x install. This script, which is part of the Flyway DB upgrade auto process org/dspace/storage/rdbms/sqlmigration/postgres/V5.7_2017.04.11__DS-3563_Index_metadatavalue_resource_type_id_column.sql Contents are: DROP INDEX IF EXISTS metadatavalue_resource_type_id_idx; CREATE INDEX metadatavalue_resource_type_id_idx ON metadatavalue (resource_type_id); However, WE started with V 6.0. So, (1) that column did not exist in the 6.0 schema. (2) Furthermore, the field it is trying to create USING the value from that 5.7 field, also DOES NOT EXIST in the schema for 6.xx OR 7.xx. So, the migration script seems to be trying to alter the metadatavalue table using a column which doesn't exist to create a column that doesn't apparently exist in anyone's backend. Can anyone who either knows migrations very well, or the Dspace backend care to comment or assist? This is so super frustrating and confusing. What are we missing?
