Hello Claudia,
                     Thanks for the tutorial..it was very helpful..But i am
having a problem while executing the import script..correct me if i am wrong
somewhere..
I took a directory of 10 songs..well here i was not clear whether i have to
create a separate sub directory for each item..so i decided to continue
without making any..then i created a dublin_core.xml file in the directory
which looked something like this..
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<dublin_core>
        <dcvalue element="contributor" qualifier="other">some
person</dcvalue>
        <dcvalue element="language" qualifier="iso">Hindi</dcvalue>
        <dcvalue element="type" qualifier="none">Song</dcvalue>
</dublin_core>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
then i created a contents file which had list of all the songs in the
directory followed by /tbundle:ORIGINAL at the end of each item..
so i don't think i am having any problem there..
Then i got confused regarding the collection Id....i was having a collection
named "audio" which when opened has the following url..

http://localhost:8180/jspui/handle/123456789/2

so i decided to go with the collection id as 2..

then i executed the following command.

sh /dspace/bin/import -t --add  -e shredder12 at gmail.com -c -2 -s
path_of_the_directory_to_be_ingested -m path_of_the_mapfile

on executing it gave the following message.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
**Test Run** - not actually importing items.
Destination collections:
Owning  Collection:
Adding items from directory: /home/ftp/Songs/hindi/rock/
Generating mapfile: /dspace/mapfile
***End of Test Run***
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
well i think this means that everything is working fine..so i decided to now
actually try adding the folder..so i executed the following command..

sh /dspace/bin/import --add  -e shredder12 at gmail.com -c -2 -s
path_of_the_directory_to_be_ingested -m path_of_the_mapfile

It gave the following message..
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Destination collections:
Owning  Collection:
Adding items from directory: /home/ftp/Songs/hindi/rock/
Generating mapfile: /dspace/mapfile
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
after that when i checked the audio collection in which i was trying to add
the songs,  i found no song added...
i even tried the command with collection id 123456789/2 but even it doesn't
seem to work..

Please help me figure out this problem..

Regards,

Shashank Sahni..
