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 and 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:
- please download the latest released CLI version (>=v3.0.0) by following the download instructions.
- Modify your ingestion scripts, following the v3 instructions;
- or download the backwards compatible scripts (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.
- You can already find and compare the new API specifications from our QA environment.
- Authorization update: API authorization now requires passing your token in the Authorization header, prefixed with Bearer, i.e.
Bearer <MY_TOKEN>. - Login endpoint: API login is now available at
/auth/loginrather thanusers/login.
UI changes
- The sections menu is now on the left side of the screen
- The
publishworkflow has changed, now all fields are mandatory in the form and it's a three steps process,save,publish,register.
