Issue while importing the metadata using CSV in DSpace 8.1 (UUID String too large & Invalid UUID string)

[Bhavesh Patel]

Dear Team,

I am facing an issue while importing the data in the DSpace 8.1 version.

I am using the Import Metadata feature and providing a CSV file for importing the data.

I am getting the following error in this process output.

Hi  Bhavesh,

You're seeing this error because your csv file is missing a mandatory id column. If you're editing the metadata of existing items then you'll need to create a new column with 'id' as the header; this column should contain the uuid for each item you want to edit.

If you want to use metadata-import to create new metadata-only items then create this column but use a plus sign '+' instead of the uuid.

There's more info on the 'id' column here: https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC8x/Batch+Metadata+Editing, including how to create metadata-only items.

Yours sincerely,

Peter

Dear Peter,

Thank you for your email, I kept '+' sign, and it shows status Completed.

But the records are not showing on that collection.

It shows only existing records, imported records are not showing, do we need to do anything after the import process?

Regards

Bhavesh

Hi,

the argument -v means the csv is just validated, but no import run. There is a checkbox "Validate only" which you can uncheck if you'd like to actually run the import.

Best regards
Franziska

Thank you Franziska, after removing the -v then It's importing and display successfully.
