Thank you helix84, That was a great response. I think I understand (better).
I am moving an established dspace 1.7.2 system to new server hardware. The new server hardware happens to be in the amazon cloud. I am not the owner of the source system nor can I log into it. The destination system is a fresh install of dspace 1.7.2. I inherited this project after an attempt to migrate using AIP failed. I have no information of why AIP failed. I have a dspace export simple archive format directory structure from the source system. I can view (via browser) the source system and see the communities and collections, and their postfix values. My goal is to honor all old handle related bookmarks/references on the new system. Do I have any other options for importing, other than the cli dspace import command? >From what you've said (and I read the links you pointed out) it looks like I need to: 1) set the handle.prefix in dspace.cfg on the new system to the handle.prefix on the source system 2) create the community's via the gui 3) create the collections via the gui 4) preform surgery on postgres to replace the postfix values applied to the communities and collections so they mach those on the source system. 5) update handle_seq in postgres on the new system beyond the last value assigned in the source system 6) import the collections. I assume the items keep their handle postfix values. 7) send update to the folks at handle.net Am I getting close?
