What version of DSpace will our repository be upgraded to?
Version 7.6
What is the upgrade process?
On the morning of your scheduled upgrade, TDL will generate a helpdesk ticket to track work and communicate with you throughout the upgrade.
Around noon on the day scheduled for your upgrade, TDL’s software engineer will restrict sessions on your DSpace repository, meaning nobody will be able to log in and add or change content. (Folks will still be able to browse the site and download unrestricted files.)
TDL will begin migrating all of your content over to the new DSpace 7 staging instance set up prior to the scheduled upgrade date. That process will be done sometime late in the morning on the following day.
At this point, TDL will contact you and ask you to test login via Shibboleth and to test/review the new site.
When you approve the new site, TDL will point your production URL to the new DSpace 7 site.
You will want to make sure that Vireo is set up properly to deposit to the right location in the new DSpace (see SWORD deposit section below).
What should I test in our new DSpace 7?
