Hilton, Thanks for the pointer. I've had to modify the "collection-export" script to replace the call to bin/export as its not present on OLD OLD OLD versions of dspace. But the export still works.
Now a second follow up .. I'm actually exporting and importing two collections with differing handle values. (It is beyond me why this was the case.) I need to place these under the same handle on the new dspace instance. Once I dump the data using above referenced method can I (safely) use shell scripting to modify each dublin_core.xml file of the stale handle and update that to our new handle.. before the import? Will this cause any issues once we have fully moved to our new instance? I imagine I will have to do some re indexing etc.. ------ thanks kevin.foote On Wed, 10 Aug 2011, Hilton Gibson wrote: -> http://wiki.lib.sun.ac.za/index.php/SUNScholar/Asset_Import_and_Export -> -> On 10 August 2011 15:35, Kevin P.
