Hi Guillermo, You should be able to restore a dump of the 1.5.2 database into the 1.7.2 installation and run the db update scripts. You do have to run each script, 1.5-1.6 and 1.6-1.7. Do this before you start your web server so it won't throw bunches of errors while you're upgrading.
If you run any scripts on your 1.5.2 installation, you'll most likely run into problems trying to use DSpace. Fields are added and deleted between major versions, and either one can produce bad side effects. If you've moved between versions of postgres (assuming you're using postgres), you should use db_dump/db_restore.

Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes sense of it. IT sense. And common sense. http://p.sf.net/sfu/splunk-d2d-c2 _______________________________________________ DSpace-tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspace-tech
