Mode options that can be specified for setting DOI/Version control action:
-(NT|NoTrim) | skips trimming of spaces and comments from input |
-(NV|NewVersion) | adds a new version control record into RDADB |
-(NV|NewVersion) | adds a new version control record into RDADB |
dsarch | ds999.9 SV -NV -DN DOINumber |
If the data of ds999.9 are updated mostly or completely to a newer version (set of files) a new DOI number is needed. You may execute the same 'dsarch' command to add another new active version control record with a new DOI number. The previous version control record is changed automatically to status of History and its DOI number is superseded now by the current DOI number. Only one active version control record can exist for a give dataset.
If the data of ds999.9 are modified minimally a new internal version index is needed with the same DOI number, you may execute the same 'dsarch' command to add another new version control record with a new internal version index but the same existing DOI number. The previous version control record is also changed to status of History.
One case of the minimal data change is to replace one or multiple erroneous Web files under version control. The files are first moved to different filenames via dsarch Action -MV. The file type is autmatically set to 'V' as Version controlled type. A new internal version can be optionally added at this time. Then new Web files are added as replacements.
Usage Note: Various RDA use cases are described here. It is recommended that you review and know these use cases, so that the DOIs in the RDA are handled consistently.
