[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Capacity of the packaged (testing) version on ArchivesSpace?

[Prom, Christopher John]

Kari,

In my experience with testing the archon migration tool (which has involved many installs, DB deletions, reinstalls etc. , there is very little additional overhead in installing the full install with SQL, so I would recommend doing it that way.  And, the performance is generally better.  You can automate the process if you think you will be doing many test migrations, and I'd be happy to share my bash script with you if you'd like.

We will be doing assessment of ArchivesSpace at MIT and I would like to ask the collective wisdom about installing either the package version (with limited database capacity) or the full install with separate SQL database.

1.       We are considering migrating (using the AT-ArchivesSpace migration tool) a sample set of real data from AT.  This might be a set of 10-20 accession records, 10-20 resource records (some very large), names, places, etc.
2.       Would the testing version work as well as the full SQL version for testing the mapping, performance, tweaking, etc. of data?

If you have done this analysis I would like to talk with you about your choice and decision-making process.  If there is capacity load information for the packaged (testing) version, I would be glad to have it pointed out to me.

Thanks much!

We are looking forward to our assessment and migration planning activities and plan to share our experiences back out to the ArchivesSpace community.
