The item importer is able to batch import unlimited numbers of items for a particular collection using a very simple CLI command and 'arguments'
Adding Items to a Collection from a directory
To add items to a collection, you gather the following information:
...
| Code Block |
|---|
[dspace]/bin/dspace import -a -e joe@user.com -c CollectionID -s items_dir -m mapfile |
The above command would cycle through the archive directory's items, import them, and then generate a map file which stores the mapping of item directories to item handles. SAVE THIS MAP FILE. Using the map file you can use it for replacing or deleting (unimporting) the file.
Testing. You can add --test (or -t) to the command to simulate the entire import process without actually doing the import. This is extremely useful for verifying your import files before doing the actual import.
Adding Items to a Collection from a zipfile
To add items to a collection, you gather the following information:
- eperson
- Collection ID (either Handle (e.g. 123456789/14) or Database ID (e.g. 2)
- Source directory where your zipfile containing the items resides
- Zipfile
- Mapfile. Since you don't have one, you need to determine where it will be (e.g. /Import/Col_14/mapfile)
At the command line:adding items from zip file: ItemImport -a -e eperson -c collection -s sourcedir -z filename.zip -m mapfileor by using the short form:dspace/bin/dspace import -a -e joe@user.com -c CollectionID -s items_dir -z filename.zip -m mapfile
The above command would unpack the zipfile, cycle through the archive directory's items, import them, and then generate a map file which stores the mapping of item directories to item handles. SAVE THIS MAP FILE. Using the map file you can use it for replacing or deleting (unimporting) the file.

Java class: | org.dspace.app.itemexport.ItemExport | ||
Arguments short and (long) forms: | Description | ||
| Type of export. COLLECTION will inform the program you want the whole collection. ITEM will be only the specific item. (You will actually key in the keywords in all caps. See examples below.) | ||
| The ID or Handle of the Collection or Item to export. | ||
| The destination of where you want the file of items to be placed. You place the path if necessary. | ||
| Sequence number to begin export the items with. Whatever number you give, this will be the name of the first directory created for your export. The layout of the export is the same as you would set your layout for an Import. | ||
| Export the item/collection for migration. This will remove the handle and metadata that will be re-created in the new instance of DSpace. | ||
| Brief Help. |
