Hello Graham, this is an important point. Apart from the issues mentioned, a simpler architecture will help DSpace adopt to new requirements/technology changes and stay flexible and easy to manage. Furthermore too much clever tricks under the hood will raise the risk that with change in the

Hi Graham, I don't have time at the moment to consider some of the bigger issues you raise but I would like to echo Hardy's comments. Historically many Dspace installations have had little content and been lightly used. I think this has allowed us to develop without much consideration for

I am very happy to see that this issue seems finally to be taken seriously. However, I find myself getting a bit frustrated that it was never taken seriously when I raised it in the past. I think the DSpace source code carries with it a lot of historical baggage, and it could do with being

[Dspace-tech] remote import scripts

2010-09-22 Thread Carlos S
Hi, Is there any bulk-import script/program that can be run from remote client machine? I have used dspace import and package scripts, but I need to copy my data on dspace system first and then run import programs as system user. Is there any other alternative approach? Thanks, CS.

Not specifically related to DSpace, but Hudson is one way to run scripts on a remote machine and then do something with the results. It's a webapp that would be installed on your remote machine and then you can interact with it through its web interface (while it performs actions on the remote

Hi Carlos, When I do the bulk import command I ftp all the files so that they reside locally on the server, then I ssh in and do the batch command. The benefit of transferring all the files so they reside somewhere locally on the server beforehand is that the batch import becomes as quick as it

Hi all, I'm sorry if any of you have felt that this issue is not being taken seriously in the past. The reality of the situation is that we (the DSpace Developers/Committers) currently depend on feedback/testing from larger DSpace instances around these sorts of scalability and memory

[Dspace-tech] problem using path variable for log

2010-09-22 Thread anna headley
Hello, We recently discovered that our instance wasn't writing to log at all. We edited the config file from: log.dir = ${dspace.dir}/log to: log.dir = /var/dspace/log which corrected the problem.  But we're a little confused because the dspace.dir variable is/was configured to the correct
