Asia Office Hours - Restoring datasets on another IPT
by Chihjen Ko 09 Jun '24

09 Jun '24

Dear readers, In some situations, we need to move a dataset (resource) from one IPT to another. For example, we've practised composing a dataset on a test IPT; when we are happy with it, we want to move it to a production one to publish it officially. Or, for some reason, an old IPT cannot be upgraded, and we have to migrate a dataset to another IPT that will still maintain its history instead of republishing a new one, which can confuse data users. In the Asia Office Hours this Thursday (the 13th), I will show you the steps to ensure the dataset is moved correctly. Please join us at: 16:00 GMT+9:00 Seoul, Tokyo 15:00 GMT+8:00 Manila, Taipei, Singapore 14:00 GMT+7:00 Hanoi, Indochina, Jakarta 12:45 GMT+5:45 Kathmandu 12:30 GMT+5:30 New Delhi 12:00 GMT+5:00 Islamabad (And on every Thursday) with the meeting link: https://ufl.zoom.us/j/94020649634 See you online! Best wishes, Chihjen and the rest of the GBIF Asia Regional Support Team ----------------- Chihjen Ko Asia Regional Support Team www.gbif.org/ ORCiD: 0000-0001-5912-1761 #citetheDOI
