Re: [GeoNetwork-users] metadata uploaded file on GN migration was: batch import

[Jean P. <jea...@pi...>]

Wow, it looks weird. On your old instance, was it still possible to 
download the data ? Or see the thumbnail ? Are you sure you didn't 
externalize the geonetwork datadir ? Can you still run the old instance 
? First think to check would be that the old instance works properly...
I'm not even sure Geonetwork would start without having a metadata_data 
folder

If not, it looks like something bad happened.
