Move the documents directory to the new server into a temporary directory, then compare the path in the XML file to the path on disk. This will help you understand what string replacement you need to do. The command will be something like:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>:%s/\/usr\/share\/eprint3\/archives\/foo\/documents/\/home\/anbeeken\/migration\/documents/g<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> ...it may take some time to run.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>--<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Adam<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm'><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><b><span style='color:black'>From: </span></b><span style='color:black'><eprints-tech-bounces@ecs.soton.ac.uk> on behalf of Andrew Beeken <anbeeken@lincoln.ac.uk><br><b>Reply-To: </b><eprints-tech@ecs.soton.ac.uk><br><b>Date: </b>Wednesday, 29 March 2017 11:38<br><b>To: </b>"eprints-tech@ecs.soton.ac.uk" <eprints-tech@ecs.soton.ac.uk><br><b>Subject: </b>[EP-tech] Dissecting the Documents folder</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'>Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'>I’m looking into the best options for migrating EPrints to a new server and investigating the possibility of pulling our 43.6Gb worth of documents across so as not to embed them in XML and create large files.
