issue harvesting sets and single items on DSpace8

[Diego Sanz]

Hi guys,

i'm developing on DSpace 8 and i am able to create communities, collections and items from the UI (angular) but in the moment to do the harvest of a set/collection (from a Dspace 6) with their metadata and specially their bitstreams (the file/s attached to the item) there are some issues.

Before to list the issues, context:
this is the server OAI where i take the sets i need: https://repository.oceanbestpractices.org/oai/request
and these are the sets/collections i need to harvest with everything (metadata and bitstreams): col_11329_2487 and col_11329_2489, both of them from the same community (com_11329_2486)

Okay so, the command i use to do the harvest is this one:

inside the docker container "dspace" in the part of "Exec":
/dspace/bin# ./dspace harvest -s -c 123456789/363 -e te...@test.edu -a https://repository.oceanbestpractices.org/oai/request -i  col_11329_2487 -m dim -t 3

the most important part in this case for the issue is that the part of "-t 3" means that i do the harvest of the metadata and the bitstreams. at this point if i execute the command like this (with this collection), i don't receive anything, but with "-t 2" or "-t 1" i take only the metadata (from the 59 items i have to harvest from that collection); in the case of the col_11329_2489 (i should take 23 items aprox) it does not matter i don't receive anything never. BUT, if i use a command like this:

/dspace/bin# ./dspace harvest -s -c 123456789/363 -e te...@test.edu -a https://repository.oceanbestpractices.org/oai/request -i com_11329_2486 -m dim -t 3
(using the community instead of the collections)
i receive 4 items.

why this happens?

another issue is about how can i do the import/harvest/submit/whatever of a single item with its corresponding metadata and bitstreams?

thank you so much in advance, any help would be appreciated
