Unless your test system is set up to resolve handles, what handle you use doesn't really matter. I use the same handle prefix on my development copy as on our production system.
If you do want to change the handle prefix, use [dspace]/bin/update-handle-prefix Cheers, Stuart Lewis Digital Services Programmer Te Tumu Herenga The University of Auckland Library Auckland Mail Centre, Private Bag 92019, Auckland 1142, New Zealand Ph: 64 9 373-7599 x81928 http://www.library.auckland.ac.nz/ -----Original Message----- From: Mark Diggory [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, 19 June 2009 3:54 a.m. To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Dspace-tech] Export/import of noncontent objects (Epersons,etc.)?

Well, thats really more a pain point with the way handles are persisted in the item metadata and exposed, it would have been much better to leave off the prefix/namespace of the handle in the system and have the system calculate that, then it would be possible to setup separate handle services under a separate namespace and have the test serice resolve there... But, I can see two different possible approache for dealing with this. 1.) Just massaging the db data to change the handles. 2.) Write a java routine that traverses the Items and assigns new handles in the test service. > What I should wind up with is two distinct repositories which happen > to have received exactly the same set of submissions since the day > each was turned on. Well, that seems more a question "hot syncing" vs. "offline syncing". You might look at the TAMU Harvester Addon for something like this capability, this would also allow you to keep separate users/handle spaces if I remember correctly. Mark -- Mark R.
