Hi Lewatle, there is an instruction in the DSpace Documentation, see chapter 9.5. Item Importer and Exporter Furthermore there is a handout from TDL (thanks folks) which explains some details: http://www.tdl.org/files/DSpaceBatchImportFormat.pdf
In your case make sure that -c [handle] points to a collection seems as if 123456789/9 is an item not a collection. Hope that helps Claudia Jürgen Lewatle Phaladi schrieb: > Hi > > I am importing files to dspace with no success. i want step by step > on how to do the import. bellow is what i have done, just have a > look. > > > > dsp...@dspace-desktop:/usr/local/dspacesrc/dspace/bin$ sudo ./dsrun > org.dspace.app.itemimport.ItemImport -a -e [email protected] > -m mapfile.out -c 123456789/9 -s > /usr/local/dspacesrc/dspace/bin/importdirectory Destination > collections: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: > org.dspace.content.Item cannot be cast to > org.dspace.content.Collection at > org.dspace.app.itemimport.ItemImport.main(ItemImport.java:377) > > > > I also even run ./import script with success but when i check in my > dspace web interface i just cant find an imported item. > > <html><p><font face = "verdana" size = "0.8" color = "navy">This > communication is intended for the addressee only.
