Import of zip file not working on DSpace 7.6

[Lewatle Johannes Phaladi]

Hi All,

I have tried to use export and import features from DSpace 7.6 the aim was to move collection with 600 items to new location on the same DSpace installation, export of collection was done successfully, and import also shows success message but when I go to collection after running import there is no items imported despite success message.

Please help.
