[Dspace-tech] Userid/password creation through back-end database.
We have successfully installed DSpace in our organisation to archieve and retrieve regsitration documents. Now since our mail server is not not configurate properly, I failed to create new user through e-mail activation process. Is it possible to create new userid/password through inserting in the postgreSQL's 'eperson' table? How to insert password in cryptic form? Thanking you in anticipation.

I knoe with the submission UI it is possible. Regards, Not directly, no, not without hacking the importer. After import, you can log in as an administrator, Edit the item, and set the primary bitstream from the Edit screen. It can also be done by SQL query in the database once you have the item's handle, but I don't necessarily recommend that (unless you're automating the process externally to DSpace), as the query is a bit complicated.

[Dspace-tech] Sorting issues
Hi all, I have read the summary on sorting issues: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=E1IQ2zI-00077G-SI%40sc8-sf-web23.sourceforge.net If I understand sorting good - titles marked en language are normalized and others are not. Then both of them are sorted and displayed. Am I right? If the previous is true then I am confused about sorting in our DSpace installation. We have about 4500 items in DSpace - many of them are in different languages (english, french, german and czech). So the titles marked en language are normalized and the others are not. So Die Mutter (de) should be sorted near letter D A Mother (en) should be sorted near letter M But there are several items sorted bad and I have definitely no clue why (and why this items). You can look for example there: http://dl.ics.muni.cz:8080/manakin/browse-title?top=dml_cz%2F9047 Why the Použití matematické statistiky v hydrologii is here? Because it is in czech language? Or: http://dl.ics.muni.cz:8080/manakin/browse-title?bottom=dml_cz%2F12638 Why the Eine Klasse entarteter gewöhnlicher Differentialgleichungen und das Kollokationsverfahren zu ihrer Lösung or the Über einige Eigenschaften der Charakteristik der Schraubenenveloppe einer Kegelfläche is here? And the best: http://dl.ics.muni.cz:8080/manakin/browse-title?top=dml_cz%2F12638 Try Next page and it will jump almost at the end of the whole list! Weird. There's something wrong... Does anyone have the same experiences?

[Dspace-tech] Bitstream size limit
We are in a situation where a user has files he liked to upload but the files are so large that during the sumbmission process the web interface times out, and so he is unable to upload his files. So, what I'm thinking is that I could take the files and load them using the ItemImporter script. But now I'm wondering if accessing a large file via Dspace is going to be a problem or not. I don't believe there is a limit to the size of the bitstream file you upload, except for the limit put upon by using a browser to load the file. Is that right? And what about accessing files that are so big, how successful are users going to be doing that? I guess it depends on the type of file, right? Has any one loaded files into their Dspace instance via the ItemImporter because of the limitation put on by the browser, and how successful has that been? And again, is there a limit on the size of the files uploaded into Dspace? I'm hoping also that the indexer is going to be able to handle large files? Thank you!

Re: [Dspace-tech] Any definitive guide to setting up handle server?
On 07/09/2007, Mathias Hjelt [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does anyone have an up-to-date and complete step-by-step guide on how to set up the Handle server with DSpace 1.4.2? If such a guide exists, would't it be a good idea to include it in the DSpace documentation or put it on the Wiki? I'm currently in the process of trying to get this set up and I'm mildly annoyed by the lacking documentation in [dspace-source]/docs/install.html. The first problem I ran into was that make-handle-config gives me Warning: data not encrypted - a quick Google on that led me to http://www.thesesalive.ac.uk/archive/ERAInstallation-1.9.html#_Toc824950 72 which suggested running dsrun net.handle.server.SimpleSetup instead, which is also mentioned in DSpace's install.html. However, any documentation I've seen so far fails to mention that you should NOT put a passphrase on your keys - I did it, and now the handle server won't start. A quick Google on Invalid passphrase - found a thread suggesting that yes it's in the documentation if you read the make-handle-config script.. Helpful indeed, in retrospect. Furthermore, docs/install.html isn't very clear on how to proceed once the above obstacles are out of the way. More Googling - found http://sunsite.utk.edu/diglib/dspace/#handle which makes the important point that one should ignore the official Handle documentation altogether (e.g that about homing your prefix etc). It also gives some useful step-by-step instructions which, in my opinion, could be integrated into docs/install.html. (Install.html implies you should start the Handle server prior to even applying for a prefix, and fails to explain how to put the obtained prefix into the Handle server's config..) So, now that I'm waiting for a reply from CNRI on how to proceed with the passphrase issue (I did not find any solution for removing the passphrase OR for making the handle server startup prompt for it), I'm still not certain that I've got everything else right. Hence my question, does anyone have a complete and up-to-date guide on how to do this properly, without taking the trial-and-error path? Best regards Mathias Hjelt Hi Mathias: I managed to navigate most of the hurdles with Handle, but I agree with you in general about the need for an up to date guide. Additionally, I'd love to see two streams of documentation - one for the up to date handle.jar from CNRI, another for the 2005 version of handle.jar bundled in DSpace. There is a way of removing the pass phrase; it was described in a July 30, 2007 post to the list by Rafa Carreres. I, too, stumbled on this step; the pass phrase removal seems to work. Unfortunately, now that I have removed my passp hrase and completed the other steps in the DSpace install.txt file (including update-handle-prefix), I just get resolution errors from hdl.handle.net, but there's nothing useful in the /dspace/handle-server/error.log or /dspace/log/handle-server.log to help me debug the problem. It's probably a bad sign that I'm not seeing a handle-plugin.log being created, as requested by log4j-handle-plugin.properties. But that's just how my week has gone. -- Dan Scott Laurentian University - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

It is certainly possible somehow, but you probably better spend your time on setting up the mail server because the whole workflow depends on email as a means to notify users about pending tasks and so on. After all, if you dont care about the whole sub- mission process, why would you want to use DSpace? But if you stick with your way, then I would check where the mails have gone on your server. They are certainly somewhere waiting in a mail queue folder. It is probably the simplest thing to get them from there and use the information to complete the registration process instead of manipulating tables manually. You can of course read the source code and mimic the behaviour if you have the time to do so. Bye, Christian - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Bitstream size limit

And what about accessing files that are so big, how successful are users going to be doing that? I guess it depends on the type of file, right? The type of file is probably the thing you should worry about least. Besides timeouts that obviously depend as well from users bandwidth, there is usually also a limit in the file system of participating systems that has been 2 GB for 32bit operating systems until recently. That is certainly a hard limit that should not be crossed, at least if you dont know more about clients accessing your service. But I strongly believe that it does not make sense at all today to accept such large files in your repo. Who will download such a file? What kind of files are likely to be that large? I can think of three cases Audio/Video and Disk Image files. While the latter might be described sufficiently by metadata to decide whether you want to take the time to download them, Audio and video streams should probably presented differently. Sure, if you have well known open license 90 minute movies in DVD quality, they will take their 4,? GB of space, but where to get them from today? If your AV material is e.g. scientific interviews, then probably somebody doesnt want to load them full length to hear the one essential sentence they are after. Then, you should offer these files as streams to make them more accessible and provide it in a useful manner. A transcript with time markers might be useful as well. With todays technology it is probably not yet possible to create such in an automatic process and that makes it imprac- tical to do so. Also, I dont know a simple way to connect DSpace with a streaming server (should not be too hard though). All this does not solve your problem, but I believe it is worth to rethink the way people are actually using bitstreams you pro- vide before running and solve a technical problem that does not actually solve the problem of your users. I know that storing data and using it are also two different things and that DSpace is about storing and preserving first of all, but who will ever pay for that if it is of little use? If you reach your upload limit already by lets say 100MB or 500MB on a client connected by LAN, then this is an issue that I would go for. Then, you might want to investigate the bandwidth avai- lable, the maximum time and maximum size and give us more info to talk about. Bye, Christian - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
