For other problems with the files Proquest FTP's to us, ask Michelle to call Proquest technical support at 877-408-5027 or 800-889-3358 (or email at tsupport@proquest.com or
http://support.proquest.com/ ) to find a solution.
The XML is configured for no open access. If we start getting ones with permissions, Michelle will create a second XML file for them, and they'll need to be done separately.

- Put the .csv metadata file is in the same directory with all of the file to be loaded.
- Go the dos prompt: in the start menu, click "Run," then type cmd in the box, and click ok.
- Change the directory to the safbuilder directory, by typing cd c:\safbuilder
- Run the safbuilder by typing" safbuilder.sh -c c:path to metadata file." For example, "safbuilder.sh -c c:\ETD\metadata.csv would run the safbuilder on the metadata.csv file and all of the files in the directory with it.
- The program will make a bunch of text appear in the DOS window. If it doesn't, the program didn't run. If it says ERROR in square brackets, 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.
- When it's run correctly, and SimpleArchiveFormat directory appears in the folder your files and csv are in .In DOS window, it 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. - 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.
To run the program to create the collection files:
- Move the entire SimpleArchiveFormat directory into your CollectionFilesProgram directory.
- Go the dos prompt: in the start menu, click "Run," then type cmd in the box, and click ok.
- Change the directory to the CollectionFilesProgram directory by typing cd c:\ETD\CollectionFilesProgram.
- Run the program by typing safscript.py
- Look at the log, saf_log.txt for any items skipped.
