Re: [Dspace-tech] Issue with overwrite and ant

2012-01-20 Thread Pottinger, Hardy J.
Hi, Jennifer, yes, the version of Ant required to run DSpace changed with 1.8, mostly for this reason, though ant version 1.7 should in theory be new enough, you may want to upgrade to the latest version of ant, just to be sure. --Hardy Sent from my iPad On Jan 20, 2012, at 1:17 AM, Jennifer

Re: [Dspace-tech] Uploading large files to Dspace

2012-01-20 Thread George S Kozak
Ian: At our site, the only solution that we have come up with is to have people give us (the Admins) the files and we move them to our server (using SFTP) and then set up a batch load of the item(s) into DSpace. It is not efficient, but it does save on User frustration in uploading huge

Re: [Dspace-tech] Batch Import is not working

2012-01-20 Thread Davis, Barry
My understanding is that the Dspace importer looks for a directory structure when importing items. When we do bulk imports, we point a a directory that contains another directory for each of our items, that then contains our xml, contents, and bitstreams. So, we point the import command to a

Hi Dan, Do you experience this in internet explorer or another browser? it seems like this has happened before: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-624 But a developer was unable to reproduce the problem back then. Maybe if you can provide more context information in that JIRA ticket, that a

[Dspace-tech] Null pointer error during complete step

2012-01-20 Thread Lyman Ross
We're running Dspace version 1.7.2 and are receiving a null pointer error in the final submission step. I'm not sure how long this problem has been going on since most of our submissions come during the summer. It's possible that the problem began when we upgraded from version 1.6. Any ideas

Hi Lyman, I'm not entirely sure where the error is.. but can you check a few things. Can you check your [dspace]/config/dspace.cfg and check that mail.server is properly configured. https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/master/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/core/Email.java#L245 Peter Dietz

Peter: You were right there's something wrong with the email settings. I just turned off email and the submission process is now working. I'll have to see if there have been any changes to our campus smtp server that might require changing the settings. Thanks, Lyman On 1/20/2012 12:34 PM,

Hi, Lyman, I just thought I'd chime in here to plug the really very handy test-email script that you can run via the DSpace master script: Run this as the DSpace user: cd [dspace_dir] bin/dspace test-email And you can test your e-mail config, without having to go through the submission process.

We have two opposing problems that are glaring at each other with fists raised: o Is 2GB enough? Maybe not: how big is an hour of video? how big is the take from an instrument in a typical run on the Large Hadron Collider? o HTTP has problems with the uploading of huge quantities of
