Hi All, I've got a server running Collectionspace 2.1 and I want to upgrade it to 3.2. Is there any info out there on how to do an upgrade rather than a straight installation? I'm happy to build 3.2 but I'm not sure how this would interact with an existing build on the server. Thanks, Martin.

Hi Martainn, Here at Berkeley, we are almost ready to go live with an upgrade from v2.4 to v3.2 for the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology. Do you have data in your 2.1 system? What kind of customizations have you done to your 2.1 system?

Hi Chris, Thanks for the reply. There is data in the system but we've done no customization to it. Regards, Martin.

Thanks, Martin. So then, this is a timely question since we are literally in the thick of running the final scrips to upgrade our Hearst Museum from 2.4 to 3.2. Our launch script covers more things than you need to do (because we had many customizations): http://issues.collectionspace.org/browse/PAHMA-701 Some of the data issues you will need to consider are: - user accounts, roles and permissions (partially documented at http://issues.collectionspace.org/browse/PAHMA-681 but we'll ask the project to document our findings after we get through this) - refnames in collectionspace_core, see http://issues.collectionspace.org/browse/PAHMA-650 - updating country values in addresses in contacts, identified but not completed at http://issues.collectionspace.org/browse/PAHMA-680 Are you using CSpace to track the location of items in your collection? (By the way, I'd be interested in hearing what you are using CollectionSpace for.) If so, there are some other tasks. In 3.2, a current location field was added to cataloging to make it easier to know where an object is stored. That is maintained by some event handlers in the system that examine the movement records, and update this new denormalized computedCurrentLocation field accordingly. I have a SQL script that populates this field The Jira task is at http://issues.collectionspace.org/browse/PAHMA-649 but I don't have the scripts attached. We are upgrading from 2.4. There might be other schema changes between 2.1 and 2.4 that you will need to look at. You should look at the release notes for the 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 versions to see if there are other schema changes. I hope we can pass on more information from our experience that will help you and other collections that are planning their upgrades.
