Upgrade from 4.2 to 5.0.5

Hi Mehmood - We conducted an upgrade from 4.2 to 5.0.5 and picked up some issues.

  1. Search by keyword feature not working as expected. It takes forever just to search a particular dataset with keyword. Not sure if the dataset tags are added during the upgrade.
  2. It takes forever to move from one page to the next. You can only do this if one refreshes the button while it is searching. E.g. you are on the Central Data Catalog and you want to go the next page.
  3. Searching for Variables is also not working - looking at the upgrade script the variables table is dropped and then recreated. How do we re-insert our existing project variables?
  4. When creating a report for all the study downloads, you can only create a report for the downloads that done after the upgrade. I know the data is there but is there a possibility of creating a report for all the data downloads including those prior to upgrade?
  5. In the 5.0.5 release notes point 4 indicates that dd_projects table needs to altered but I am not finding it.

Cheers
B
