Preparations for the DataStorage.nrw connection are currently in full swing. Until the wait is over, we would like to prepare you for what the migration will look like for you on the Coscine platform. This way you can see at a glance whether your research data is currently being migrated.

 

Structure of the Migration

The migration in Coscine will take place on a project-by-project basis. This means that one of your Coscine projects may be migrated at the beginning of the migration phase and another may not be migrated until the end. But don’t worry: you will receive an e-mail in good time before the start of the migration of your project and another e-mail as soon as the migration has started.

 

Maintenance mode activated

Within the project to be migrated, you proceed resource by resource. A resource that is currently being migrated cannot be opened or edited via the web interface, the API or the S3 interface. During the migration of your project, you can see which resource is currently in maintenance mode within Coscine via the web interface. In this state, you cannot access the corresponding resource and will be redirected back to the resource overview when you try to open the resource. The following illustration shows exactly what this looks like.
