# January 2026 upgrade
|
|
|
|
From the 5th of January to the 15th of January there will be a major upgrade of the data catalog infrastructure (SciCat - [https://discovery.psi.ch](https://discovery.psi.ch) and [https://dacat.psi.ch](https://dacat.psi.ch))
|
|
|
|
During this period, data archiving and retrieval will not be possible.
|
|
|
|
## Required changes
|
|
|
|
After the upgrade, a few changes will be required:
|
|
|
|
### CLI changes
|
|
|
|
If you are using pmodules, no changes are required, otherwise:
|
|
|
|
1. please download the latest released CLI version (>=v3.0.0) by following the [download instructions](https://github.com/paulscherrerinstitute/scicat-cli?tab=readme-ov-file#manual-deployment-and-upgrade).
|
|
2. Modify your ingestion scripts, following the [v3 instructions](https://github.com/paulscherrerinstitute/scicat-cli?tab=readme-ov-file#v3-changes);
|
|
3. or download the [backwards compatible scripts](https://github.com/paulscherrerinstitute/scicat-cli?tab=readme-ov-file#backwards-compatibility-with-v2) (linux only). Please note these scripts will later be discontinued (~ Q2 2026).
|
|
|
|
### API changes
|
|
|
|
Some APIs have been updated. This affects you only if you interact directly with the SciCat APIs.
|
|
|
|
1. You can already find and compare the new API specifications from our [QA environment](https://dacat-qa.psi.ch/explorer).
|
|
2. Authorization update: API authorization now requires passing your token in the Authorization header, prefixed with Bearer, i.e. Bearer <MY_TOKEN>.
|
|
3. Login endpoint: API login is now available at "/auth/login" rather than "users/login".
