[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Data migration report

[Nathan Hosburgh]

I would be interested if anyone has produced a similar report regarding migration from Archon to ArchivesSpace.

Thx,
Nate

Dear All

I wonder if there has been any other official responses to the excellent migration report prepared by Harvard. We experienced many of the same issues in our migration testing and would be interested in knowing whether the issues identified are schedule to have work done on them.

Many thanks

Emma

Unfortunately, ArchivesSpace requires valid URIs<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_URI_scheme#Windows> for external links, hence the addition of file:// to document locations.  I could try adding a thrid slash which may solve this, but if it doesn't, there really isn't much that can be done on the migration tool side until this requirements changes in ASpace.
Subdivisions types for Subjects and Name are required in the AT (You cannot save a record through the AT interface if those types are not selected).  The only way I know of they can be incorrect, or are missing, is when data is ingested directly into the AT database which the migration tool cannot account for.

As such, entering correct values for these sub types must done through the AT backend database directly, and not through the migration tool.

Hi-

If you have any question let me know.
