One probable scenario for using this tool is where there is an external primary data source for which the DSpace instance is a secondary or down-stream system. Metadata and/or bitstream content changes in the primary system can be exported to the simple archive format to be used by ItemUpdate to synchronize the changes.unmigrated-wiki-markup
A note on terminology: *item* refers to a DSpace item. *metadata element* refers generally to a qualified or unqualified element in a schema in the form {{\[schema
\].
\[element
\].
\[qualifier
\]
}} or {{\[schema
\].
\[element
\]
}} and occasionally in a more specific way to the second part of that form. *metadata field* refers to a specific instance pairing a metadata element to a value.

The optional suppress_undo file is a flag to indicate that the 'undo archive' should not be written to disk. This file is usually written by the application in an undo archive to prevent a recursive undo. This file is an addition to the Archive format specifically for ItemUpdate.
