Hi Mark, we've migrated (mostly ETD's) from a Hyperwave repository to DSpace with the itemimport. What is the precise command you're running, especially the -s source directory you're referring to? The source directory must contain one directory per item, but even with a one item import you still point to the parent directory. My guess is your -s is wrong or you're running in test mode.
TDL provided a good description of the item importer: http://www.tdl.org/documents/DSpaceBatchImportFormat.pdf As for crosswalks and plugins, see http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/CrosswalkPlugins http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/PackagerPlugins Hope that helps Claudia Jürgen Mark Ludwig schrieb: > We're new to DSpace and I am trying to implement some batch loads of some > ETDs and also some audio files. > We're using ver 1.5.1 on a Red Hat Linux platform. > > I have tried the import program to load some .mp3 filesfrom a directory.
