Related to this, at what point is the updated information sent to the registration agency? We are currently working on a test server to test the upgrade; however, the Crossref configuration in use is the production configuration.
Hi @dung, thanks. I think your question is a slightly different problem that our current tool doesn’t totally account for. The tool is currently designed to “de-duplicate” entries where a DOI has (on purpose or accidentally) been registered with two different registration agencies.
In your case, if I understand correctly, you have some DOIs that were previously registered with Datacite and now you exclusively register DOIs with Crossref and do not plan on re-registering the older Datacite DOIs with Crossref, correect?
I think we need to assess the tool for handling this to better handle this scenario. I will look into this and keep you updated here.
Hi @gabriela1, for this question specifically, the updated information will be sent per your configuration (manually or automatically) once you have completed the upgrade and the site is running normally again.
But I think in this case, the current toolset does not accurately handle your situation so we’ll have to make some changes in order to better handle your case.
Thank you for your assistance.
Yes, you are correct. DOIs were previously registered with Datacite and now we exclusively register DOIs with Crossref and do not plan on re-registering the older Datacite DOIs with Crossref.
Hi @ewhanson. Do you have an estimate for when these changes will be available to us? We’ve already announced the upgrade to our journal managers for early August, and some of us have vacation schedules in the meantime. We’d like to assess whether we may need to delay the upgrade.
I am not an OJS supporter but I recommend you to search the forum or follow the prompt of the error and work it out but this will require some technical knowledge. If you want here is my quick search:
back up your db ofcourse.
select the records in question and study them to see if you can delete them:
Select FROM metrics_submission
WHERE assoc_type = 515
AND metric_type LIKE 'ojs::counter'
AND submission_id IS NULL;
only if you are 100% sure then delete them:
DELETE FROM metrics_submission
WHERE assoc_type = 515
AND metric_type LIKE 'ojs::counter'
AND submission_id IS NULL;
I am not sure that will help though. Best of luck.
Hi @lucian and @gabriela1, it sounds like this resolved the DOI issue you mentioned above. If that is the case, once you have this COUNTER issue sorted, you should be okay to proceed with the upgrade. Maybe @bozana might have an idea about the metrics issue.
I am sorry that there was a misunderstanding here - I was trying to help out @lucian based on my theoretical understanding and that was not specifically our solution neither our issue was resolved. @gabriela1 advised me to wait for your instruction. Again, sorry about this confusion.
As our upgrade deadline is tomorrow, August 7th, I’m reaching out to ask if you could kindly assist us.
Apologies for the delay in following up. We had scheduled vacation time.
We had an internal discussion earlier, and I can confirm that the issue remains unresolved on our end. We are currently awaiting your assistance to help move things forward.
In the meantime, we have notified our journal managers and editors that the upgrade will need to be delayed until the matter is resolved.
Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to your guidance.
In my experience it is not a good idea to skip releases when upgrading. The best solution is to upgrade each release sequentially until you get to the desired one. Otherwise you are guaranteed to get database errors.
I wanted to close the loop on this. We have now aliased all DataCite DOIs to Crossref and completed both the reassignment of existing DOIs and the assignment of new DOIs under the updated Crossref configuration.
