✔ Migration of dataset · community

We have a dataset published with its respective DOIs in a version 5.13, I need to migrate this dataset to a new installation with version 6.3. What process can be done to make the dataset work correctly with its configuration in the new Dataverse installation?

Version 6.3 is on a RHEL 9.4 with PostgreSQL 13.16 database engine and version 5.13 is on a RHEL 9.2 with PostgreSQL 13.11 database engine.

I appreciate your help

Hi! If you're ok with only having one version of the dataset in the new system, maybe you could try this:

export the dataset as JSON format
download all the files
in the new system, import the dataset via API: https://guides.dataverse.org/en/6.3/api/native-api.html#import-a-dataset-into-a-dataverse-collection
upload the files to the new dataset

Thank you for your answer, as I know the TOKEN API.

Sorry, I am waiting for the answer, I still don't understand, where to find the TOKEN API? Thank you for your help.

Philip Durbin 🚀 (Oct 07 2024 at 20:04):

There is no token API.

Are you looking for your API token?

Andrés Díaz Hurtado (Oct 07 2024 at 20:09):

Yes, o I understand from the attached image that there is an API TOKEN.

When it says “click on your account name in the navbar”, it is from the url of our dataverse, with the administrator user, is it correct?

Philip Durbin 🚀 (Oct 07 2024 at 21:55):

Yes, exactly.

Hello there!

We successfully performed the migration of the project, but when performing the download option in 'MS Excel Spreadsheet' throws the following error '{“status”: “ERROR”, “code”:404, “message”: “Datafile 18: Failed to locate and/or open physical file.”}'. Could you tell us what we are missing in the migration or help us mitigate this error.

I appreciate your help.

Hmm, did you upload the files?

Andrés Díaz Hurtado (Oct 25 2024 at 16:33):

I'm terminating this assistance. As always, I thank you for your cooperation. Best regards.
