This release is small in scope; it's mostly about a technology upgrade that includes moving to Java 8 and upgrading to Prime Faces 5.3. We have fixed a number of issues, including making the file ingest page refresh more reliable.
For more information see the <a href=https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/milestones?state=closed>project milestone notes and <a href=https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues?q=is%3Aissue+milestone%3A4.2.3+is%3Aclosed>individual issues.
IMPORTANT, for both new installations and upgrades:
For the file uploads to work properly, please follow the instructions in the README.txt file in https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/tree/master/conf/jhove (In future version of the Dataverse the installer script will be taking care of this).
Installation:
Please see our Installation Guide
Upgrades:
If upgrading from v3.6.2 or earlier, please contact us at support@dataverse.org since this requires considerable planning and effort.
If upgrading from v4.x, you will need to follow the upgrade instructions for each intermediate version.
This version requires you to install Java 8, undeploy the current application, then deploy this war file.
- undeploy the current application
/glassfish4/bin/asadmin list-applications
/glassfish4/bin/asamin undeploy dataverse-4.2.2 - deploy the new war file
/glassfish4/bin/asadmin deploy dataverse-4.2.3.war
Please note that this version of Dataverse requires Java 8 to be installed, otherwise the application will not deploy. See the java section of the Installation Guide.
If you are using shape files and GeoConnect functionality, please run the following commands from the web server console since it has been made disabled by default:
Set GeoconnectCreateEditMaps to true to allow the user to create GeoConnect Maps. This boolean effects whether the user sees the map button on the dataset page and if the ingest will create a shape file.
curl -X PUT -d true http://localhost:8080/api/admin/settings/:GeoconnectCreateEditMaps
Set GeoconnectViewMaps to true to allow a user to view existing maps. This boolean effects whether a user will see the "Explore" button.
curl -X PUT -d true http://localhost:8080/api/admin/settings/:GeoconnectViewMaps
