If one is not using the submission UI to load items one by one but is
using
the bulk upload facility is there a way to have two bitstreams with only
one
as the 'primary' one which will be displayed when the item is retrived
using
a search? I knoe with the submission UI it is possible. Regards,

server?

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

3. Userid/password creation through back-end database. (Dibya Dutta)
I had a similar problem and the solution I used was this:
I installed the patch 1615148 ] "Enable the admin to switch to any
registered user"
Then logged in as the administrator and navigated to the E-people page.
There I could add and then select an E-person
And "Login as" that E-person.
>From there, I could reset their password, edit their profile, submit to
a collection and so on..

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.

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. See

Subject: [Dspace-tech] Sorting issues

Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=ISO-8859-2; format=flowed
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 "Pou?it? matematick? 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 gew?hnlicher Differentialgleichungen und
das Kollokationsverfahren zu ihrer L?sung" or the "?ber einige
Eigenschaften der Charakteristik der Schraubenenveloppe einer
Kegelfl?che"
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?
Thank for any help
Vlastik

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!
Jose

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.
