Hi Anton,

I create an archive using the itemexport function, edit the contents file (with echo filename >> contents), add the file to the archive and then run

/ir/dspace/bin/dspace dsrun org.dspace.app.itemupdate.ItemUpdate -A --eperson=valid@eperson --source=/usr/local/tomcat/1/testdata –verbose

In return I’m getting:

Done processing. Successful items: 0 of 0 items in source archive

End.

Any ideas why it isn’t adding the bitstream either to the archive or to the item in the repository?

I just used this sequence to add a file to an existing item using export/import (DSpace 1.8.2):
[dspace]/bin/dspace export -i [prefix]/3998 -t ITEM -d /data/tmp -n 0
echo handles-with-fulltext.xml > /data/tmp/0/contents
cd /data/tmp && [dspace]/bin/dspace itemupdate -A --source . --verbose -e [email protected]

There is something odd going on with interpolating the "source" argument it seems. /data/tmp is the parent of the "0" directory created by the export. Note I had to cd to that directory and use "." as the source. Using /data/tmp or /data/tmp/ as the source argument, I get "ERROR creating Undo Archive directory".

Finally, I had to use ">", ie overwrite the contents file; otherwise it complained about existing bitstreams (including the license bitstream, which you're likely to have even when you think the item has no files).

cheers,
Andrea
