[Dspace-tech] Metadata Crosswalks

Hi, Does anyone have any pointers to information on how to create metadata crosswalks. I have looked at the code/configs but can't my head around what I need to do. I want to create a crosswalk for OAI-PMH and AIP import to convert metadata between formats and also when OAI-PMH is used from a

Hi, Lyman, I just thought I'd chime in here to plug the really very handy test-email script that you can run via the DSpace master script: Run this as the DSpace user: cd [dspace_dir] && bin/dspace test-email And you can test your e-mail config, without having to go through the submission process

Peter: You were right there's something wrong with the email settings. I just turned off email and the submission process is now working. I'll have to see if there have been any changes to our campus smtp server that might require changing the settings. Thanks, Lyman On 1/20/2012 12:34 PM,

Hi Hardy, I suspect the problem here is that Integer.parseInt() is being used, and the largest Integer (Integer.MAX_VALUE) is 2147483647. As 858993459200 > 2147483647 an error occurs. Unfortunately, based on the error, it looks like this Integer.parseInt() call is happening in the MultipartFil

You can take a look at this wiki page for how a slightly different packager works. It has screenshots. https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Simple+Archive+Format+Packager As Barry was saying, you need to ensure that what you are giving as input to the DSpace ItemImport is a directory, with su

We're running Dspace version 1.7.2 and are receiving a null pointer error in the final submission step. I'm not sure how long this problem has been going on since most of our submissions come during the summer. It's possible that the problem began when we upgraded from version 1.6. Any ideas o

My understanding is that the Dspace importer looks for a directory structure when importing items. When we do bulk imports, we point a a directory that contains another directory for each of our items, that then contains our xml, contents, and bitstreams. So, we point the import command to a dire

Ian: At our site, the only solution that we have come up with is to have people give us (the Admins) the files and we move them to our server (using SFTP) and then set up a batch load of the item(s) into DSpace. It is not efficient, but it does save on User frustration in uploading huge files.

Hi, Jennifer, yes, the version of Ant required to run DSpace changed with 1.8, mostly for this reason, though ant version 1.7 should in theory be new enough, you may want to upgrade to the latest version of ant, just to be sure. --Hardy Sent from my iPad On Jan 20, 2012, at 1:17 AM, "Jennifer
