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…

11. Diego J. Spano 2011 - Página | 11 |
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}

13. Diego J. Spano 2011 - Página | 13 |
The Depositor
If we select
_laststep_ {bild}
then Depositor will
build the collection
every time a
document is
uploaded.

14. Diego J. Spano 2011 - Página | 14 |
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

16. Diego J. Spano 2011 - Página | 16 |
The Depositor
In GLI CREATE panel  Minimal Rebuild option

17. Diego J. Spano 2011 - Página | 17 |
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 Depositor
Or… 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 Depositor
Things to be careful about
