Very good. I'm going to perform some testing. After I am finished I will report back my findings.

I'll adjust the documentation accordingly.

Thanks Dorothea Salo--your website helps immensely.

Good morning,

My experience with it has been pretty good. It does replace the bitstreams, as well as the metadata. The structure of the replace folder is the same as the import folder, one directory per item, with contents, metadata and items files. The old bitstreams (and metadata table entries) are all replaced with the new ones.

I haven't checked, but assume the old bitstreams are marked 'deleted' and get cleaned out the next time cleanup is run.

We're running 1.4.2, but I imagine the functionality hasn't changed substantially.

So, the documentation is lacking in great detail about the replace
function.  (I happen to need to use it).
Who on here can give me some details regarding the --replace
function.  There is some mention of
it in section 9.7.2 Registering Items....  and in 9.7.6 Deleting
Registered Items.

It is unclear whether one could, say, reload a batch with the replace
function and have it replace the bitstreams.

So, can this happen?  If so, what are the caveats?  What about the
older bitstream?

I've run import --help and see the flags.  But the current
documentation is unclear about the replacing of items.

Thanks in advance,

The Document Gardner.
