[Dspace-tech] Batch metadata corrections question: does anyone know why the limit is set to just 20 items at a time?
Hello, We're experimenting with making batch corrections to metadata using the Import Metadata feature in the jsp. We'd like to raise the limit on the number of items that may be changed at a time. I can see the file: http://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/dspace/tags/dspace-1.6.2/dspace-jspui/dspace-jspui-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/app/webui/servlet/MetadataImportServlet.java Where it says this: // Set the lmimt to the number of items that may be changed in one go, default to 20 limit = ConfigurationManager.getIntProperty("bulkedit.gui-item-limit", 20); log.debug("Setting bulk edit limit to " + limit + " items"); …We’d like to up it from 20 to maybe 500 as an experiment -- but potentially much higher. Does anyone know if that's a really bad idea? We just don’t know what the consequence is of making this limit larger, but 20 seems way too low for a typical batch of changes.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Batch metadata corrections question: does anyone know why the limit is set to just 20 items at a time? AND: question about regular recompiling
Thank you, Peter, Stuart, Andrea, Alex - So it sounds like it comes down to how much RAM is available on our server. We're going to try 1000, and see how it goes, as we are still on a development server for just this kind of reason. We are looking at correcting a very large batch of records (retrospective ETDs) before we go live, so this is kind of exceptional..but looking forward, I can see we'll have to be correcting/recompiling regularly. I'm still kind of new, so if anyone has any advice/warnings about doing regular batch corrections as a regular thing, I'd be glad to hear it. How do you handle updates and recompiling? Quarterly? After hours? Thanks everyone, Irene Berry, MLIS Digital Services Librarian Dudley Knox Library, Naval Postgraduate School -- Got Input? Slashdot Needs You. Take our quick survey online.

[Dspace-tech] How often do you handle recompiling? Regularly? Quarterly? Monthly?
Hello DSpace-tech folks, We're preparing to go live soon, and I wanted to ask the group for advice on how to plan for regular recompiling/updates. Do you do this task as a regular thing, after "hours" at night? Monthly, or quarterly..? (I'm the person who wrote a week or so back about raising the limit on batch record corrections so I'm thinking we'll have to recompile from time to time.) thanks, Irene Berry, MLIS Digital Services Librarian Dudley Knox Library, Naval Postgraduate School 411 Dyer Road, Monterey CA 93943 -- Get a FREE DOWNLOAD! and learn more about uberSVN rich system, user administration capabilities and model configuration.

[Dspace-tech] what happens to handles, once an item is expunged?
Hello – I have a question for the group -- We're trying to figure something out about what happens to handles, once an item is expunged. Is that handle then gone forever from the pool of available handles, or does the handle server consider that number available for reuse? Could it cause conflicts, if the number is reused?

[Dspace-tech] what happens to handles, once an item is expunged?
I want to thank the group here at the tech list for the thoughts about what happens to a handle once it is expunged, especially Susan Thonton, Tim Donahue and helix84. We still have some uncertainty around what actually happens with handles after a withdraw vs. an expunge, but my practice at this point is going to be to assume the numbers will not be reused, but not to try to manually reuse handles, anyway. I welcome any further discussion.

[Dspace-tech] archiving .tgz files as second bitstream: can DSpace support tar ball format?
Hello Tech list, The topic of "supplemental materials" seems to be on contributors' minds a lot right now. I'm talking about additional material such as images, video and now computer code which people would like to include alongside the documents that need them. I have two questions for the group about adding additional bitstream material. 1. Computer code: Has anyone successfully added .tgz or gripped tar ball format for computer code? I don't see that format on the table of supported formats, but I wondered if anyone has archived computer code successfully. That is the format that has been proposed to me. 2. Large image files: I find that the filesize limit of 512mB isn't going to let me do a single-item bitstream addition. Is there a back-end way to enter an additional bitstream for an existing item? I want to keep the original file (.pdf) and the supplemental material (.tiffs) together under one record if possible. I'd love to know if there's a back-end way to add new bitstreams to existing records. Is it possible to do this in some other way than using the edit-metadata screen?

[Dspace-tech] handle server points to the wrong thing
Hello all, I have an maybe-unusual DSpace set up where we use the xmlui for our public face of the repository, and the jpsui for submissions/management, etc. In effect, our jspui side mirrors the xmlui side, so the side with the login only gets used by our staff. Yesterday, something changed after we restarted the handle server. On public (xmlui) side, the link in each record to the URI began to point the user to the admin (jspui) side. Anytime a person clicks on the handle record page for an item, they are pointed to the admin side. We are using DSpace 1.8. We've got documentation, followed the indications and restarted the server, but the problem has persisted now for more than 24 hours. Does this sound at all familiar to anyone? This is our site: http://calhoun.nps.edu If nothing else, feedback about what you see when you try to access the handle pages, would be helpful. (Example here: http://calhoun.nps.edu/public/handle/10945/13392) Thank you for any new ideas about what might be going on, With appreciation for this place -- Irene Berry DKL/NPS -- Everyone hates slow websites.

Re: [Dspace-tech] handle server points to the wrong thing
Bingo! Our documentation had it backwards. We're all better now and pointing back to the XMLUI, as intended. Thank you for being there, everyone.

[Dspace-tech] "View Accepted Submissions" displays nothing now -- setting?
Hello everyone, Some of my catalogers have suddenly lost the ability to see what they've added to the repository. When they click "view accepted submissions" in My DSpace, the results screen is blank, where they used to see 90+ items. Is there a setting I don't know about? In my case, I can see my submissions, and so can one of the others. Two can't see anything anymore. They are logged into My DSpace, using using XMLUI, DSpace 1.8.2.
