check the bin/import utility in EPrints. Big import should be done using the command line. Also, you cannot paste binaries in text forms, sure something will broke.

Hi,

Maybe if it's only 1 item, it's okay to add the <eprint> and </eprint> tags. But if the data I want to export is tens of thousands, of course this is a waste of time.

Hi Agung,

I have seen this when I have exported a single item and try to reimport but not sure how you got this with a full archive export. There is no <eprints> tag enclosing the set of <eprint> records. Usually you can just edit the file to add these <eprints> tags at the top (after the <?xml ... line) and then right at the end, so it looks like:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<eprints xmlns='http://eprints.org/ep2/data/2.0'>
    <eprint id='https://eprints.example.org/1'>
        ...
    </eprint>
    <eprint id='https://eprints.example.org/2'>
        ....
    </eprint>
</eprints>

It looks like your file that you are trying to import isn’t correctly formatted, from the line

Unexpected tag: expected <eprints> found <eprint>

If you export just one file from your existing system it will give you an example file to compare against. I’m sure there’s an entry in the wiki for it but I can’t find it at the moment.

I export from eprints 3.1.3 a xml files with EP3 XML with Files Embedded. After I get the files, I import the file on my eprints 3.4.3 with Test Without Importing options. And then I get this error message

I just tried 1 file. I feel like if I import a lot of files via the command line, it will definitely give an error too.

Need help.

Thank you

Best regards

Hi,

I would like to ask if it is possible to import xml files from "EP3 XML with Files Embedded" from eprints version 3.1.3 to eprints 3.4.3? I have tried the xml file and got an error.

I have files of around 30,000 items, and I want to move them to the new version of eprints. Please help.

Thank you

Best regards,

Agung PW
