Hi all,
I installed a new geonetwork version (2.10.3).
I exported in the old instance all metadata as zip.
I would like to restore in one-shot all the metadata in the new geonetwork maintaining the categories, is it possible?
In the batch import I don't see the zip as possibility for one file, is anyway allowed? and hence is it possible to assign
the categories automatically on import? (of course I created the same category in the new GN instance).
Regards
Eugenio
Hi Eugenio,
I'm doing the same thing at the moment. I have had more luck using the
Geonetwork harvester, which does bring categories across- I have an email
to the list about how to preserve ownership and groupownership though.

Hi Eugenio
In batch import you need to provide the folder path (Folder should be in
the same server as GeoNetwork). You can put there the file, but make sure
to rename it to mef instead of zip, I think otherwise the import doesn't
process the file.
The categories I guess are assigned from the information in the mef file.
At the end of the batch process if you have all metadata in one mef file,
you'll see a message that has been imported 1 metadata. The message is not
very accurate, informs about the number of files imported, but not about
the real number of metadata records imported. But querying the catalog
should have imported all the metadata.
Regards,
Jose García

Hi,
Did you try an upgrade first ? (http://geonetwork-opensource.org/manuals/2.10.3/eng/users/quickstartguide/installing/index.html#upgrading-to-a-new-version)
I guess it would be the preferred way...
Apart from that, MEF format (also called the ZIP fomat when doing an export) supports GN categories, so it should be kept, yes.
I don't know with batch import, but using the Metadata insert menu entry (if your ZIP file is not too big), it should work. Use the MEF format.
Cheers
Jean

Dear Jose Garcìa,
I followed your suggestion but probably I'm missing something.
I uploaded the archive_metadata.zip on my geonetwork server,
i renamed the zip file in mef, but nothing happens.
I hope the categories will be assigned in the import since I reproduced the same categories in the new instance.
Actually inside the zip file I have a lot of folders, named with a unique code, like '0a4fa121-4efe-48bd-b2e8-1a1ddb8bb33d',
where therein a info.xml, containing the info of the groupship and the categories belonging, then there is another folder containing
the metadata.xml.
What am I missing?
Regards

Hi Jose,
eventually I was able to restore all the metadata, but the categories were not filled-in.
I mean I have al the metadata but the original category, owner and group has not been maintained.
I have the metadata belonging to the admin user, no group and no categories assigned.
I used the zip file renamed in mef, and I used the batch import function.
Let me know where I was wrong, or any hints to perform this action?
Thanks and regards

Hi Eugenio,
I had better luck using the normal import, NOT the batch import. You can
then choose the zip file or mef file from your local machine, not the
server. This correctly brought in categories, groups and owners.

Hi Jose,
I followed your suggestion, I reimported again all the metadata (581) of course after a complete erase.
I used 'Metadata import' uploading the backup.zip as mef file.
Unfortunately, my metadata has not the category again as well as the Owner, I wonder if I had to choose (check the box)
'Assign ti current catalogue' to maintain those information on importing.

Hi,
"Assign to current catalogue" is just about changing the catalogue ID, in the metadata record. If you don't check it, your imported metadata will be seen as belonging to previous catalogue (in advanced search, you can filter by catalogue. It will put some mess. Whatever, you should check it. But I don't see why it would solve your issue.
Is your new catalogue accessible on the web ?
Again, best way, I think, would be to perform a real upgrade, instead of this export/import thing.

where therein a info.xml, containing the info of the groupship and the categories belonging, then there is another folder containing
the metadata.xml.What am I missing?

CC: frippe12573@anonymised.com; geonetwork-users@lists.sourceforge.netHi Eugenio
In batch import you need to provide the folder path (Folder should be in the same server as GeoNetwork). You can put there the file, but make sure to rename it to mef instead of zip, I think otherwise the import doesn't process the file.
The categories I guess are assigned from the information in the mef file.
At the end of the batch process if you have all metadata in one mef file, you'll see a message that has been imported 1 metadata. The message is not very accurate, informs about the number of files imported, but not about the real number of metadata records imported. But querying the catalog should have imported all the metadata.

Hi all,
I installed a new geonetwork version (2.10.3).

I would like to restore in one-shot all the metadata in the new geonetwork

In the batch import I don't see the zip as possibility for one file, is

the categories automatically on import? (of course I created the same
category in the new GN instance).

Hi Jean,
The instructions for "doing an upgrade" are limited at best:
http://geonetwork-opensource.org/manuals/2.10.3/eng/users/quickstartguide/installing/index.html#upgrading-to-a-new-version.
If you are running geonetwork as a war file in tomcat, how can you upgrade
without undeploying the original war file? It seems to me that creating a
new installation and importing the data from one to another is the only
safe way of doing things without risking destroying the original
installation. If there is a better way then the documentation should be
improved to explain it.

Hi,
"Assign to current catalogue" is just about changing the catalogue ID,
in the metadata record. If you don't check it, your imported metadata
will be seen as belonging to previous catalogue (in advanced search, you
can filter by catalogue. It will put some mess. Whatever, you should
check it. But I don't see why it would solve your issue.
Is your new catalogue accessible on the web ?Again, best way, I think, would be to perform a real upgrade, instead of
this export/import thing.

Hi Jo,
OK, right. Sure, there is room for improvement and Howtos in the current documentation.
But your question here is as much about tomcat than about geonetwork.
_Quick answer : _
- stop tomcat, rename the old webapp, restart tomcat, deploy the new war. You'll have both geonetwork instances working side by side. Should be.
or rename the war file before deploying it. Same result.
- check it works
- stop tomcat, copy the data directory and set the DB (depends which DB you're using). Restart tomcat. The upgrade should perform automatically.
Check the logs to see if everything goes fines.
_More detailed example :_
Here is what I do when I want to perform an upgrade (I'm using war files, on tomcat7) :
- I assume you're using an external DB (postgresql) in my case. I guess with H2 DB, it will be possible too, but I never did.
- If not done, you'd better move your data directory out of the webapp. See "GeoNetwork Data Directory" here : http://geonetwork-opensource.org/manuals/2.10.3/eng/users/admin/advanced-configuration/index.html
You have several ways to declare the path to the data directory. I usually do it in my WEB-INF/config-overrides-prod.xml file since it allows me for different setups depending whether I'm working on prod or developing at home.
Here an example of what it could look like (most of it is for the postgresql params. The only one about data dir is in bold):
<overrides>
<properties>
<db.user>geonetwork</db.user>
<db.pass>geonetwork</db.pass>
<db.dbname>jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/gm_risk</db.dbname>
</properties>
<file name=".*/WEB-INF/config.xml">
*<addXML xpath="appHandler"><param name="geonetwork.dir" value="/home/jean/tomcat7/data/gm-risk-datadir" /></addXML>*
<replaceXML xpath="resources">
<resource enabled="true">
<name>main-db</name>
<provider>jeeves.resources.dbms.ApacheDBCPool</provider>
<config>
<user>${db.user}</user>
<password>${db.pass}</password>
<driver>org.postgis.DriverWrapper</driver>
<url>${db.dbname}</url>
<poolSize>10</poolSize>
<validationQuery>SELECT 1</validationQuery>
</config>
</resource>
</replaceXML>
</file>
</overrides>
If you already have some content, you will of course want to move (or copy) the WEB-INF/data folder and rename it. In this example, I renamed it to gm-risk-datadir.
.. restart tomcat, and check the changes worked (you'll have the datadir listed in Admin/System Information)
Don't forget the access rights. Ideally, tomcat is to be the owner of the datadir.
OK, so now you have data /and/ DB out of your webapp. Not necessary but easier.
- stop tomcat. Change you old app's name (say, geonetwork_old). Restart tomcat. The old app should have now the changed name.
- deploy the new war file
- clone the DB and datadir
- stop tomcat. Adjust your config-override-prod.xml file, on the new geonetwork instance to point to the DB and datadir clones.
- Restart tomcat. check it did find and use the DB and datdir declared on your .xml config file (see Admin/System information page)
- Now you should have 2 instances of geonetwork running alongside and independently : the old one and the new one. And at this point, if the new one works, it should already have upgraded the DB and datadir if necessary.
- Take your time to check everything is OK, and then remove the old app.
If everything is not OK, check the logs.
And of course, before you run this, backup everything, in case I forgot an important step ;o)
Have fun !
