[GeoNetwork-users] how to: metadata migration

hi all,

first of all, i like geonetwork. it's a great tool for exploring
metadata and finding data.

next to my problem: what is the best way for migrating metadata sets
from one geonetwork instance to another.
i tried to copy metadata sets from the xml-view and to paste it (exactly
the same metadata) with XML metadata insert. i get errors like

Error on line 64: The reference to entity "fname" must end with the ';'
delimiter.

Error on line 268: The content of elements must consist of well-formed
character data or markup.

Immediate unique constraint violation (_ANONYMOUS_CONSTRAINT_8) Columns
= ( uuid ) Table = ( APP.Metadata )

if i am correcting all the errors the import works but with a lot of
manual work. thats not possible for a lot of data.

if i am trying the batch import i get always the same message which i
don't understand

The requested operation could not be performed.
Error on line 1 of document file:/home/christian/test/: Content is not
allowed in prolog.

any help appreciated, thanks and greetings from munich

p.s. maybe there is a tutorial or howto for metadata importing, but i
didn't find it yet

Hi Christian,

every geonetwork comes with a migration procedure to migrate from the
previous version. I suppose you are using geonetwork 2.0 and you want to
migrate to 2.1. In this case, start GAST and select the migration node on
the right panel and press the 'migrate' button on the left panel.

Cheers,
Andrea
