Info
titleLatest Releases of Replication Task Suite

Based on the version of DSpace you are running, here are the compatible latest releases of the Replication Task Suite:

  • RTS, version 3.2 - bug-fix release, compatible with all DSpace 3.x and 4.x releases
    • Upgrading: To upgrade to RTS 3.2 from a previous version, simply change your pom.xml (see Installation on DSpace 3.x or 4.x) to reference 'dspace-replicate' version 3.2.  Then rebuild DSpace & re-run 'ant update'. Your existing RTS 3.x configuration files will still work with RTS 3.2.
      • After upgrading the RTS software, it is recommended to run a full backup to ensure all your AIP packages are also updated (if necessary).
    • 3.2 Bug Fixes: Ensures RTS compiles for Java 7 (which is required for RTS 3.x).
    • 3.1 Bug Fixes: Fixes several small bugs (namely with the event consumer utilized during Automatic Replication).  Also ensures RTS runs on the DSpace 3.x platform.
  • RTS, version 1.3 - bug-fix release, compatible with all DSpace 1.8.x releases.
    • Upgrading: To upgrade to RTS version 1.3 from a previous release, simply change your pom.xml (see Installation on DSpace 1.8.x) to reference 'dspace-replicate' version 1.3. Then rebuild DSpace & re-run 'ant update'. Your existing RTS 1.x configuration files will still work with RTS 1.3.
      • After upgrading the RTS software, it is recommended to run a full backup to ensure all your AIP packages are also updated (if necessary).
    • 1.3 Bug Fixes: This fixes a DuraCloud v2.4.0 connection error with version 1.2.
    • 1.2 Bug Fixes: This fixes a Java 6 incompatibility bug in version 1.1.  Previously version 1.1 required Java 7 when using DuraCloud.
    • 1.1 Bug Fixes: Fixes for several small bugs in 1.0 (namely with the event consumer utilized during Automatic Replication).

Installation on DSpace 3.x or 4.x

  1. In your DSpace Source directory ([dspace-src]), you will need to modify the following POM file:
    • [dspace-src]/dspace/modules/additions/pom.xml (This POM will ensure that the "dspace-replicate" dependency is made available to commandline and ALL DSpace interfaces)

  2. For this pom.xml file, add the following <dependency> section at the end of the existing <dependencies> section (just before the closing </dependencies> tag).

    Code Block
    <dependencies>
        ...
    
    	<!-- Adding this dependency will install the Replication Task Suite Addon -->
    	<dependency>
       		<groupId>org.dspace</groupId>
       		<artifactId>dspace-replicate</artifactId>
       		<version>3.2</version>
    	</dependency>
    </dependencies> 
  3. Once you've finished modifying both pom.xml files, rebuild DSpace by running the following from your [dspace-src]/dspace/ folder:

    Code Block
    mvn clean package
    
  4. Follow the instructions in the Configuration section below in order to enable & configure the Replication Task Suite Add-On.
    1. You may wish to ensure these configurations exist in your [dspace-src]/dspace/config/ directory.  That way they will be auto-installed/copied whenever you run "ant update" (see next step).
  5. You will need to update your existing DSpace 3.x installation, by running the following from your [dspace-src]/dspace/target/dspace-[version]-build/ directory

    Code Block
    ant update
    
    Note

    Alternatively, if you don't want to do a full DSpace update, you can just update your existing binaries & webapps by running the following two commands:

    • ant update_code (Updates the existing [dspace]/lib/ directory)
    • ant update_webapps (Updates the existing [dspace]/webapp/ directory)

Follow the latest installation instructions, based on the version of DSpace you are running:
