Hi Koushik,

The immediate task is to find out why there are duplicate entries in the db, and stop creating duplication again.

I don't know your installation or customization history, so this is a wild guess again. There could be some errors made in your item submission form. Check the item submission xml under config. If it is not the cause of the problem..., I don't know. Please look back what changes you've made to the system recently.

OK. The next step is to remove the duplicate entries in the database. Either you delete it manually in the edit item page one-by-one, or you do it in the database level, do some SQL queries and write some programs to automate the de-dup and delete process. Luckily you only have to deal with one db table named 'metadatavalue'.

Hope this rough guide could kick start your rescue process.

Best,

Thanks Allen.
I checked the "edit item" page. That also has duplicate entries i.e. two dc.contributor.author, two dc.date.issued fields etc which can be edited. Does it mean that the database itself is wrong? In that case, how do I get rid of this problem?

Thanks

    Hi Koushik,

    First try to make sure there is no duplication in the database.
    Go into the Edit item page to check.

    If the problem is not with the db, it may be caused by incorrect
    indexing.
    There could be some errors in your config file. Without extra
    information it is only a wild guess.
    But remember that any changes to indexing config need a
    re-indexing afterward to see the effect.

    The same thing happens in both JSPUI and XMLUI. I guess that
    means the problem is not at the UI layer but something deeper.
    The Browse or Handle servlets?

    This dual-display happens while viewing a particular item i.e.
    url like [host]/[dspace or xmlui]/handle/number1/number2
    also the author names are displayed twice when i browse using
    titles with an url [host]/[dspace or xmlui]/browse?type=title

    Any help is much appreciated.

        Hello, I am trying out a DSpace 1.6 installation
        on postgresql. When I view an item, all metadata is displayed
        twice. It looks something like this
        Title: This is the sample title
                This is the sample title
        Authors: Author 1
                     Author 1
                     Author 2

        Issue Date: 21-May-2008
                          21-May-2008

        etc etc. Anyone any idea. At what level can this problem be?

        Thanks.
