Hello, Thank you so much Kostas and Claudia! Well everything was correct except that I should use "/backup/staging" instead of "/backup/staging/1". I thought using the full path will work by importing only the specified item. The items are now properly imported. Is it normal that I have to re-index for them to be searchable?
Many thanks again for your continuous support. Regards. Layale. -----Original Message----- From: Claudia Jürgen [mailto:claudia.juer...@ub.tu-dortmund.de] Sent: Monday, August 03, 2015 1:28 PM To: dspace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Dspace-tech] dspace import throws NullPointerException Hi Layale, make sure you got the right structure for the import directory see https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC5x/Importing+and+Exporting+Items+via+Simple+Archive+Format#ImportingandExportingItemsviaSimpleArchiveFormat-DSpaceSimpleArchiveFormat The command output indicates that there is no directory in: /backup/staging/1 I assume that your structure looks like /backup/staging/1/dublin_core.xml /backup/staging/1/foo.pdf ... then you got to use -s /backup/staging Hope this helps Claudia Am 03.08.2015 um 12:12 schrieb Layale Bassil: > Hello Claudia, > > Thank you so much for your clear response.
