DSpace collection export maximum size

[Benneth]

After increase the configuration file to 1024, I am still getting the message "The overall size of this export is too large. Please contact your administrator for more information."

How can I export this collection?

Hi Ben,

It's really difficult for others to help if you don't provide the details of what you are trying to do.  It's unclear to me what configuration you changed, and also what command (or steps in the User Interface) you are attempting to run that result in the error.

It's also unclear what sort of export you are attempting.  One option here is to use one of the commandline export tools (which should not be limited in size) like the AIP Backup and Restore: https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/AIP+Backup+and+Restore  or the commandline "export" script which exports into a different format: https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Importing+and+Exporting+Items+via+Simple+Archive+Format#ImportingandExportingItemsviaSimpleArchiveFormat-ExportingItems

Basically, it's difficult to provide you with useful advice as it's unclear what you are trying to do.  But, hopefully one of those will provide you with hints.

Hi Tim,

Thanks for your encouraging response.

I was trying to export a collection but got the message "The overall size of this export is too large. Please contact your administrator for more information."

I changed org.dspace.app.itemexport.max.size = 1024.         It was =200 before the change. But I am still getting the same error message. What I need is any tool or CLI to export the collection in question. 

Thanks

Hi Ben,

I listed two CLI tools you could use (depending on what type of export you want) in my previous message:

• AIP Backup and Restore: https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/AIP+Backup+and+Restore

• The "export" commandline tool (which exports to the DSpace "Simple Archive Format": https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Importing+and+Exporting+Items+via+Simple+Archive+Format#ImportingandExportingItemsviaSimpleArchiveFormat-ExportingItems  This is the tool that uses the configuration setting you referenced, so it may be what you tried to use.  You could increase it's value even larger, if needed.  A value of "1024" means that it can only export a Collection of size 1GB. So, it's possible you may need to increase this value for a very large collection.

Hopefully that helps.

Thanks Tim. your inputs have been very useful. Please, when I try executing any CLI in dspace, I. get an error message "

command not found". 

prd bin]$ dspace -h

-bash: dspace: command not found

What can I do to rectify this?

Following your earlier CLI links, I was trying to execute [dspace]/bin/dspace export --type=COLLECTION --id=collID --dest=dest_dir --number=seq_num

It keeps on giving me the error message "-bash: dspace: command not found".

I am running it from my server root and directory changed to bin.

What does --dest=dest_dir --number=seq_num. stand for?

[Benneth Obilor]

Sorted out. I have been able to download the collection

Thanks.

Unless that directory (bin) is part of your shell's PATH, it won't be
searched for commands. Try './dspace -h'.
