Thanks to all who responded to this issue.
I will most likely follow Claudia's steps outlined below since time is an issue. ☺ Thanks again, Sue Sue Walker-Thornton Software Developer/Database Administrator NASA Langley Research Center|LITES Contract (757) 224-4074 -----Original Message----- From: Claudia Jürgen [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, January 07, 2011 8:06 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Dspace-tech] Upgrading from DSpace 1.5.1 to DSpace 1.7 Hello Susan, one can upgrade in one step skipping several versions, we've done so from 1.4.2 to 1.6.1. It is basically following the latest upgrade instructions and run all the major release database update scripts in the correct order. Just make sure: - you got a proper backup of everything - you got the prerequisites ready pay attention to new versions, e.g. changing the database version might affect the way you upgrade - you got all things properly configured, over several versions there will be a lot of configuration changes - you got to run all the database upgrade steps in your case database_schema_15-16.sql and database_schema_16-17.sql - you got your prior customizations integrated and all the other stuff scripts uptodate If you got some customizations you might consider using your own version management, it helps running and upgrading a customized instance.
