We are happy to inform you: Our PubMan migration server has been updated successfully and is now available again.
Migration-PubMan update
With regard to future migrations, we need to perform a major update of the PubMan version currently deployed on the migration server. The operation will include an update of the underlying core service as well.
For this reason, we have to shut down the migration server for an undetermined period of time starting Wednesday, August 4.
Unfortunately, working on imported test data and all testing activities have to be delayed until the server becomes available again.
We will inform you as soon as the new PubMan version is deployed.
Short reworking on Wednesday, August 4
Our hosting partner for PubMan – the GWDG in Göttingen – informed us that they have to perform some smaller reworking measures in connection with last week’s storage extension.
The necessary reload of the system will take place on Wednesday, August 4 at 9:00 am. During the restarting operations, PubMan again will not be available for a short period.
The whole procedure is expected to take about 10 Minutes – in case of technical difficulties it could last up to one hour.
Downtime on Thursday, July 29
We are planning to prepare our system for future developments and a growing number of users. To that purpose we will perform a storage extention for our live server on the upcoming Thursday, July 29. During the necessary operations, the live server will unfortunately not be available. The deployment of the new data storage is expected to take place between 8:30 and 11:00 am.

A look back at PubMan Days 2010
Berlin, 19thand 20th May 2010
As has been expected, time went by quickly – the PubMan Days 2010 are over. We took many new impressions back with us to Munich and we hope that all of the attendants at least had an interesting and informative time at Harnack-Haus.
Especially, we would like to thank all speakers for their inspiring contributions. Beyond that, we were happy about the lively interest shown by the audience throughout the diverse discussions. Much to our delight, many of the attendants took the opportunity to share their opinions, requirements and ideas with us.

Happy Migration MPI CE :)
The MPDL proudly presents the third successfully migrated institute on PubMan: The MPI for Chemical Ecology!
Together with Diana Mewes – the responsible person for the data migration at the institute – we developed an ICE-specific EndNote mapping (which also greatly influenced the revision and improvement of our generic PubMan EndNote import) and were finally able to migrate nearly 2000 datasets with more than 3000 fulltexts and supplementary material to PubMan.
We want to say thank you for the all time close and productive working togetherness and like to warmly welcome the MPI CE on PubMan!

New core services – changes on demo instance
The long-awaited magic switch is coming;-)…
We are currently moving all PubMan instances within MPG domain to a new version of eSciDoc core services (Framework 1.2.) The procedure will take several week…and we start with our test/demo instance of PubMan on http://test-pubman.mpdl.mpg.de:8080/pubman/
Please be aware that your test data and test user accounts (incl. contexts, organisational units) will be wiped out due to the new Framework!
If you want to re-activate your test accounts and settings, please write an informal mail to pubman-support@gwdg.de
