Hi @alantygel,
There’s a Native XML format and associated import/export plugin; see plugins/importexport/native/native.dtd
in your installation for details.
See https://pkp.sfu.ca/2017/03/06/the-future-of-ocs/ for recent news on our plans for OCS.

Hi @asmecher,
We decided to migrate manually, because the creation of XML would not be easy. But when we create an scheduled conference, to insert papers from an past conference, in the dates, there is just 2016-2019 options in the year select form. Is there any way to insert old conferences (like 2004)?
Thanks,
Celso
Hi @celsoale,
Off the top of my head, you can accomplish this by editing the getOutsideDates
function in classes/manager/form/TimelineForm.inc.php
. See the last line of the function:
return array($earliestDate, $latestDate);
Change it to e.g.:
return array(strtotime('1995-01-01'), $latestDate);

Thanks, it worked! After I import all papers, I will return the function to its original.
