Introduction
There is a MAJOR change in the embargo function with DSpace 3.2 when using the XMLUI.
Read carefully and prepare yourself during an upgrade.
Note for DSpace 3.2
The wording for the simple embargo form was confusing users, so the following were submitted to change the wording:
With our repository we updated the messages.xml file with the changes incorporated for DSpace 4.0.
Note for upgrade from 1.8.2 to 3.2
If you enabled embargoes in 1.8.2 then make sure to remove the embargo date option in your customsied input-forms.xml file.
Step 1 - Select simple or advanced embargo
The user has an opportunity to choose between, simple or advanced embargo settings.
To switch between the two, you need to set following variable in the dspace.cfg file.
xmlui.submission.restrictstep.enableAdvancedForm=false
At Stellenbosch University with SUNScholar we have chosen to stay with the "simple" embargo method.
Step 2 - Pre-3.0 Embargo Migration Routine
A migration routine has been developed to migrate the current embargo to the new one.
To execute it, run the following command:
/home/dspace/bin/dspace migrate-embargo -a
And then:
/home/dspace/bin/dspace embargo-lifter -a -v
And then:
/home/dspace/bin/dspace embargo-lifter -c -v
Step 3- Enable Embargoes
To enable the new embargo changes are required to the item-submission.xml file, located in your config directory. This file determines which steps are executed in the submission of a new item.
Two new submission steps have been introduced in the file. By default, they are not activated yet:
- AccessStep: the step in which the user can set the embargo at item level, effectively restricting access to the item metadata.
- UploadWithEmbargoStep: the step in which the user can set the embargo at bitstream level. If this step is enabled, the old UploadStep must be disabled, leaving both steps enabled will result in a system failure.
To enable the new embargo, ensure that the new steps are uncommented, while the old UploadStep needs to be commented out.
Type the following to edit the submission file:
nano /home/dspace/source/dspace/config/item-submission.xml
See example below.
<!--Step 3 will be to Manage Item access.-->
<step>
<heading>submit.progressbar.access</heading>
<processing-class>org.dspace.submit.step.AccessStep</processing-class>
<xmlui-binding>org.dspace.app.xmlui.aspect.submission.submit.AccessStep</xmlui-binding>
<workflow-editable>true</workflow-editable>
</step>
<!--Step 4 will be to Upload the item
<step>
<heading>submit.progressbar.upload</heading>
<processing-class>org.dspace.submit.step.UploadStep</processing-class>
<jspui-binding>org.dspace.app.webui.submit.step.JSPUploadStep</jspui-binding>
<xmlui-binding>org.dspace.app.xmlui.aspect.submission.submit.UploadStep</xmlui-binding>
<workflow-editable>true</workflow-editable>
</step>

<step>
<heading>submit.progressbar.upload</heading>
<processing-class>org.dspace.submit.step.UploadWithEmbargoStep</processing-class>
<xmlui-binding>org.dspace.app.xmlui.aspect.submission.submit.UploadWithEmbargoStep</xmlui-binding>
<workflow-editable>true</workflow-editable>
</step>
