Hi João, Hi Helix, i have to come back to you with the question for an expansion of the metadata-import. I talked with my colleagues and we carve out that for a archive, like us, that will import and update meta-data periodically from an external source there have to be a possibility to check if that meta-data already exists in DSpace. We discussed a lot of possibilities to get that working, but all ideas like scripting or cross database (mysql/postgresql) checks are just dirty workarounds. In my opinion the best way, and the place where it have to be, is the import it self, or?
I'm not a programmer, but, maybe it is not so complicated for you to expand the metadata-import function that checks the first column of the CSV against the internal document ID in the database to do that with a column named like "uuid" or "uniqueKey" or something else? Maybe you can provide me a patch like the last time with the XOAI UTC bug where i tested the xoai, you remember? I'm willing to test the patch and functionality around it for such a patch again and if it works, you can provide that in future releases of DSpace for all as new feature?! Hope we can arrange something. Best regards, Marco -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Im Auftrag von helix84 Gesendet: Montag, 4.

Hi João, I think Marco would welcome some pointers on how to do that (the dspace-devel type of answer). Marco, you should specify which importer you're using ("[dspace]/bin/dspace import" or "[dspace]/bin/dspace packager" or "[dspace]/bin/dspace metadata-import").
