Hello,

I would like to ask for help from an expert regarding batch import.

I have prepared the data on the mapfile, but there are two problems occured.

1. not all data in the mapfile has successfully been inserted.
2. data that successfully been inserted does not sit in the correct metadata. for example in mapfile we map the data to dc.description.identifier, but it goes under ISSN metadata.

Example : https://studentrepo.iium.edu.my/handle/123456789/11152
Attached below is the example of mapfile.

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

We don't have enough information to provide help.  What version of DSpace are you using?  What metadata is missing after the import?  How are you performing the import (are you running it via the commandline or via the UI, and what parameters are you adding to the command)?  Also, could you check your logs to see if any errors are written to the logs?

Here's a guide for how to find errors in logs: https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSPACE/Troubleshoot+an+error

If you find more information on the errors thrown, we can provide more help.  Unfortunately, it's not possible to help until we understand what errors you are seeing & what behavior is incorrect.

Finally, I will add that you MUST make sure the CSV is using metadata fields which exist in your DSpace site.  I notice one of the columns in your CSV is named "dc.description.identity".  Unless you've created that custom field in your DSpace site, it may not be a valide field. DSpace doesn't have a field of that name by default, so you won't be able to import metadata into that field until you create it.  For more information on the CSV format used for batch editing / adding, please see our documentation at https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Batch+Metadata+Editing#BatchMetadataEditing-CSVFormat

If you need more help, let us know on this list.
