DepositorDepositor


The Depositor

Edit /greenstone/etc/main.cfg and add:

depositor enabled


The Depositor

You can choose any collection for upload the document but…

You need a user/password created by the GS administrator


The Depositor

Now we have access to the Form…


The Depositor

We select the file to upload…

And Confirm before uploading the item


The Depositor

There are two options for the last step. We can choose one of them just editing the macro file “deposit.dm”:

_laststep_ {bild}

or

_laststep_ {depositonly}


The Depositor

If we select _laststep_ {bild}

then Depositor will build the collection

every time a document is uploaded.


The Depositor

If we select _laststep_{depositonly} then Depositor will only save the document in

import folder.We have to build the

collection when we want to update the index.


The Depositor

How can we build the collection to get the uploaded documents indexed???

We can use GLI

Or

We can use Command Line


The DepositorIn GLI CREATE panel Minimal Rebuild option


C:\> cd "C:\greenstone"

C:\greenstone> setup.bat

The first time we will make a full build

C:\greenstone> perl -S import.pl coll_name

C:\greenstone> perl -S buildcol.pl coll_name

Next time we run only incremental process

C:\greenstone> perl -S incremental-rebuild.pl coll_name

The DepositorOr… open a terminal window and …


Depositor will only work with Apache web server. No way with local library server.

Incremental build needs Lucene as indexer (no MG or MGPP)

Before doing an incremental indexing we have to run a full import/build process

Incremental build through command line can be scheduled in cron (Linux) or scheduled task (Windows)

The DepositorThings to be careful about
