[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Data migration problem ATK - ArchivesSpace only specific Resource records not transferred

[Custer, Mark]

Just a quick reply to say that we chose option 1, too, here at Yale.  We tested the migration process many times before we performed the official migration.  Maureen Callahan provided a window into the fun in the following blog post:  http://campuspress.yale.edu/yalearchivesspace/2015/04/23/reading-migration-bugs-and-fixing-our-data/

Hi Kari,

I'm not aware of a way to run the AT migration tool on a subset of resource records.

I think your options are:

1.       Figure out why the 6 records did not migrate (did you see any issues reported in the migration error log?), fix the issues, and run the entire ATK to ASpace migration again

2.       Export the 6 resources from ATK as EAD and import the EAD into ASpace.

If you choose option 2, you'll lose some of the relationships you may have established in ATK between the resource record and other record types, particularly accession records.

We encountered a similar problem during our ATK to ASpace migration and chose option 1, iteratively solving the problems reported in the migration error log and then re-running the migration tool.

Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Data migration problem ATK - ArchivesSpace only specific Resource records not transferred

Hello,
In our recent data migration from ATK to ArchivesSpace there were 6 Resource records that did not transfer.  We have the IDs of the records.  The components, Names, Accession records associated all transferred.

Is there a way to run the migrator tool for just the 6 specific collections?  Or am I best off doing an EAD XML export from ATK and then Importing those into ArchivesSpace?

Thanks!
