Josh,
This is what I do.
I run the import command like this:
./import org.dspace.app.itemimport.ItemImport -a -e admin_id -c
collection_handle -s directory_to_data -m mapfile
And the in the content file you want to make sure you have
File_name\tdescription:The_actual_description

Subject: [Dspace-tech] bitstream descriptions fail on import
When importing items I try to add a description to each bitstream in the
contents file. The manual says to follow this format (I am registering the
items, hence the '-r' at the beginning):
-r -s n -f filepath\tbundle:bundlename\tpermissions: -[r|w] 'group
name'\tdescription: some text
When I use this format the bitstreams don't end up with any description in the
interface. What is strange is that when I watch the import processing it says:
Registering Bitstream: [filename] Assetstore: 1 Bundle:ORIGINAL
Description:ORIGINAL
Why is it putting ORIGINAL in the description when that is definitely not
what's in the contents file?
I tried doing something different. I used the following format which skips the
bundle and permissions:
-r -s n -f filepath\tdescription: some text
This gave me the following output:
Registering Bitstream: [filename] Assetstore: 1 Bundle:null Description:null
It seems the import script is only looking at the bundle option. Anyone
understand why this isn't working for me? Is there a bug with the arguments for
the import script or am I missing something?
FYI: I'm using DSpace 1.7 on Ubuntu 10.04, but I noticed this same problem in
DSpace 1.6.
Thanks,
Josh
