[EP-tech] Reset an archive before going live

[John Salter]

Hi Yuri,
Have you configured any metadata field via the web interface? [SELECT COUNT(*) FROM mf;].
If you haven't, then I think these steps:
Bin/export subjects
bin/epadmin erase_data
bin/epadmin create_db 
import subjects


If you have used the web interface to create metadata fields, I think the following might be better:
~/bin/epadmin erase_eprints ARCHIVEID

This runs the following section: https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Feprints%2Feprints%2Fblob%2F3.3%2Fbin%2Fepadmin%23L1469-L1507&data=01%7C01%7Ceprints-tech%40ecs.soton.ac.uk%7C60630345261e40fd622808d640259f7a%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C1&sdata=jQ4X%2BHwmo9nkVf6sk3Ih05tru2wVADI9WOggMYmlCSM%3D&reserved=0

This will get rid of tables for:
	eprint
	history
	access
	request
	document
	file
	triple
But *not* user, subject, metafields (or other custom DataObjs).

Looking at how the 'reset_dataset' works, it deletes all rows, and then resets the counters.

You could either:
- create a copy of the epadmin script, and add the 'user' dataset to the erase_eprints datasets
or
- manually remove all user* tables from the database, and then run:
UPDATE counters SET counter=0 WHERE countername = userid;


Then run:
bin/epadmin update ARCHIVEID
which I *think* should create all the tables necessary.

It might be worth checking whether there is data in any other tables - like the 'message' table.

Hope that helps somewhat - not the most coherent set of instructions I've ever written!
Cheers,
John
