Adding Supplements to the metadata in Excel and Moving them to the PDF Directory

...

  • Make sure all rights fields have the header dcterms.accessRights .

  • Save your sheet2 (you must be on it) as a .csv file. While on the "save as" screen, change the character encoding to UTF8  by using the tools drop-down, selecting web options, then encoding, and UTF8.

  • In the CSV file, make sure that dates are in the YYYY-MM-DD format. Find and replace to fix if necessary.
  • Be sure to close Excel or the next steps won't work.

...

  1. Put the .csv metadata file and all of the files to be loaded in the directory in the ETD directory.
  2. Open Ubuntu.  
  3. Use the command ls to list all the files in the directory, and cd to change the directory to navigate to the directory with the safbulider.sh file. Use the cd command alone to go up a level in the directory. Remember directory names, file names and commands are all case sensitive.
  4. Run the safbuilder by typing "sudo ./safbuilder.sh -c etd/path to metadata file." For example, "sudo ./safbuilder.sh -c  etd/Oct2019etds/PDFs/ETDtempDspace_Oct2019Load.csv"would run the safbuilder on the metadata.csv file and all of the files in the directory with it. Note that the etd in the path must be lower case despite that it's upper case in windows. You can use the up arrow to cycle through previous commands so that you don't have to retype. When you push enter to run the command, you'll be prompted to enter your password.
  5. The program will make a bunch of text appear in the DOS window. If it doesn't, the program didn't run.  You probably made a typo when you typed the run command in. Try again, and be sure to type it all correctly.
  6. When it's run correctly, in DOS window, the last line should indicate that ETDtempDspace.csv has been used 0 times, and that should be the only line with a "File:" error See below:

    A SimpleArchiveFormat directory should appear in your folder that the files and the csv file are in.
  7. If there is more than the one "File" error, there is something wrong. See below:

    These errors happen when the files in the folder and filenames in the csv file don't match. Determine if there is a problem that needs to be corrected by comparing your .csv file to the contents of your directory. If necessary, make the corrections, then delete your SimpleArchiveFormat directory, and run the safbuilder again. If you can't fix the problems, or don't know what's causing them, ask Michelle for help. If she's not there, you can copy and paste all the errors to Word by pushing the PrtScn and Ctrl keys together to copy your screen to the clipboard, and paste your screen into Word--if there are many errors, scroll through them getting them all pasted into Word.
  8. If other errors occur, it's usually because of a typo in the command/path. Try to run it again.

Run the program to create the collection files

...

(John's procedure)

  1. Check your CollectionFilesProgram directory for any old SAF directories and delete them.
  2. Move the entire current SimpleArchiveFormat directory into your CollectionFilesProgram directory.
  3. Open Ubuntu and zip the CollectionFilesProgram directory by:
    1. navigating to the directory that the CollectioFilesProgram directory is in (probably the ETD folder), using ls to the contents of the directory you' in and cd to change directories.
  4. Zip the CollectionFilesProgram directory using the command zip -r myfilename.zip CollectionFilesProgram/
  5. Email your zip of the CollectionFilesProgram directory to yourself.
  6. In your browser, go to https:/elum.in/umbc-facstaff and log in.
  7. Log into myumbc on elumin and download yourzip file.
  8. Navigate to the zip file in File Explorer then unzip it using extract.
  9. Open the command line dos prompt by typing cmd into start.
  10. Navigate to the unzipped CollectionFilesProgram directory in downloads.
  11. Run the program by typing "python safscript.py"
  12. Look at the log, saf_log.txt for any items skipped. If items have been skipped fix them, or ask Michelle to fix them, and rerun the SAFbuilder and re-do all steps after it. If no items have been skipped, zip the SAF directory.
  13. Send the zipped SAF directory to MD-SOAR help requesting that they load it.
