[Dspace-tech] Using ItemImport class

[Heitor Barbieri]

Hello, 

I want to import many documents located at different (DSpace's simple archive 
format) directories. 
To do that would use the ItemImport class from my java program but I think it 
is not possible because: 
a) the addItems() method is private 
b) the main() function calls System.exit() 

Is there another way to do that task without using that class? 

Why don't I put all files in the same directory? It's because the number of 
documents to import is too large, so I 
have to divide then into many directories. 

Thanks for your attention.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Batch metadata corrections question: does anyone know why the limit is set to just 20 items at a time?

Usually, how much time do you wait to import 2000 items via the command line 
interface?

This shouldn't be any problem at the database layer. This limit and 
timeout problems concern only the web UI. I upped the limit to 2000 
because I wanted to look at the "diff" in a web browser and it wasn't 
a problem - but I only did the preview, not the actual import step. I 
routinely run my imports of 2000 items via the command line interface. 
This dspace machine has only 1 GB of memory dedicated to it.
