Re: [CODE4LIB] Archivists' Toolkit: Adding Digital Objects via MySQL
Hi. Is there a reason not to attempt this instead through the CLI?

Subject: [CODE4LIB] Archivists' Toolkit: Adding Digital Objects via MySQL
Hi Everyone,
I posted this over on the Archivists' Toolkit listserv and got no response
(yet), so I thought I might try here as well.
I have a large quantity (around 300+) of digital objects that I need to add
to Archivists' Toolkit. I think I've figured out what queries I need to
run in order to do this in MySQL (rather than the interface) but I wanted
to get opinions from the peanut gallery before trying it out on my test
instance.
It seems that there are actually two update queries that need to be used
when creating a Digital Object. They are:
insert into ArchDescriptionInstances
(instanceType, resourceComponentId, resourceId, parentResourceId,
instanceDescriminator, archDescriptionInstancesId)
values
('Digital object', 336673, null, 543, 'digital', 22567003)
and...
insert into DigitalObjects
(version, lastUpdated, created, lastUpdatedBy, createdBy, title,
dateExpression, dateBegin, dateEnd, languageCode, restrictionsApply,
eadDaoActuate, eadDaoShow, metsIdentifier, objectType, label, objectOrder,
componentId, parentDigitalObjectId, archDescriptionInstancesId,
repositoryId)
values
(0, '2012-04-17 12:05:15', '2012-04-17 12:05:15', 'username', 'username',
'title', '1938-1959', null, null, '', 0, 'onRequest', 'new', '678.1829',
'text', '', 0, '', null, 22567003, 1)
There also appears to be some update queries as well, but I'm guessing that
they are less important (please correct me if I'm wrong). Has anyone tried
to do this in the past? If so do you have scripts that will create Digital
Objects for you that you wouldn't mind sharing? Is there anything you
think I should know before testing this out in my test instance of AT? Any
caveats for me?
Any help anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rosalyn

Re: [CODE4LIB] Archivists' Toolkit: Adding Digital Objects via MySQL
Al,
Looking at the CLI quickly it looks like its related to batch exporting.
I'm trying to quickly create +1500 new digital object records in AT (ie.
go into a resource, click new instance, choose digital object, add the
title, add the mets identifier, click save).
If I misread what the CLI does, then I'm all ears on how I could use it to
help.
Thanks!

Re: [CODE4LIB] Archivists' Toolkit: Adding Digital Objects via MySQL
Rosalyn,
I've written a number of scripts of this nature. Here's a quick one I wrote
recently to add DAOs to our AT for an audio digitization project (note it does
not include file versions, just Components, Instances and DAOs).
It starts at the ResourceComponent identified by the long at the top of the
script. The resourceId is also hard-coded in a number of places. I've got some
tidier Java that runs as part of a automated process for a large digitization
project, but all the basic Inserts are in this:
