• Resume. If, during importing, you have an error and the import is aborted, you can use the --resume (-R) flag that you can try to resume the import where you left off after you fix the error.
  
  

• Importing (per item) into multiple collections Specifying the owning collection on a per-item basis from the command line administration tool

  If you omit the -c flag, which normally is otherwise mandatory, the ItemImporter searches for a file named "collections" in each item directory. This file should contain a list of collections, one per line, specified either by their handle, or by their internal db id. The ItemImporter then will put the item in each of the specified collections. The owning collection is the collection specified in the first line of the collections file.

  If both the -c flag is specified and the collections file exists in the item directory, the ItemImporter will ignore the collections file and will put the item in the collection specified on the command line.

  Since the collections file can differ between item directories, you have this gives you more fine-grained control of the process of batch adding items to collections.

• Importing with BTE

  The DSpaceOutputGenerator, that which writes the metadata in into the DSpace Simple Archive Format, has been updated to produce the collections file, if a metadata field named "collections" (reserved word) exists in the original metadata. This is mainly applicable to the CSV input format which is more flexible, but could also be implemented with a Modifier that adds the "collections" field to each item Record in the BTE pipeline.

  Important note: an entry with key the "collections" key should be in the output map that is used by the DSpaceOutputGenerator.

UI Batch Import (JSPUI)

Batch import can also take place via the Administrator’s Administrator's UI. The steps to follow are:

...

Finally, when you submit the form you will receive a message for the background execution of the process informing you that the import process is being executed in the background (since it may take long). At the end, you will receive a success or failure email (to the email address of your DSpace account) informing you for of the status of the import.
