[Dspace-general] Import items - Replace option

[Beatriz Langiano]

Hi MacKenzie and all, 

So, something is wrong in my replace option, for
example:


I'd like to replace the item 1884/576, but when I run:

dsrun org.dspace.app.itemimport.ItemImport --replace
--eperson=beatriz at inf.ufpr.br --collection=4
--source=/home/dspace/test --mapfile=mapfile


A new handle was created... see:

----------------------------------------------------
Replacing:  1884/576
Adding item from directory 1

        Loading dublin core from
/home/dspace/test/1/dublin_core.xml
        Element: language Qualifier: iso Value: po
        Element: contributor Qualifier: author Value:
Test, Final
        Element: title Qualifier: none Value: Teste
final para ver se o replace funciona
 
Processing contents file: /home/dspace/test/1/contents
Processing handle file: handle
It appears there is no handle file -- generating one
----------------------------------------------------


The handle item now is 1884/577.
Could you help me?


Thanks, Beatriz
