Hello everyone!
Is it possible to duplicate / migrate / copy complete journal content to an empty journal started with a different name on the same ojs server? (articles, attachments, content should be - copying of users is not necessary)
(OJS version is: 3.3.0.15.)
I tried using the ojs native xml plugin by importing an article or a year - it worked (only the import part) - and then i tried exporting it, but nothing happened after uploading the xml file, and no any result message appeared…
Yes, it is possible to duplicate, migrate, or copy the complete journal content to an empty journal started with a different name on the same OJS server.
If both journals are running the same OJS version, the Native XML plugin and User XML Plugin should work.
Native XML Plugin (for articles)
User XML Plugin (for users)
If you have encountered issues, please provide more details about the problem you faced during the export and import process.
Ensure that the XML file is correctly formatted and that there are no errors during the export. Please note that the import process might take some time, depending on the amount of content and the file size. Be patient and allow the system to complete the import.
You may be encountering a file size issue when importing. Please review the PHP error codes and share them with us.
Another approach is to duplicate the entire journal and then make the necessary adjustments. This involves copying the journal database and files, and then modifying the journal settings and metadata.
This plugin imports and exports more elements, but has been designed to work only from the command line:
Maybe it will help you.
