View source for Change Deposit Status in Bulk

[[Category:Management]]

At times it may be useful for you to move a large number of deposits from "User Workarea" to "Live Archive". While you could do this manually using the Web interface one-by-one, this could be a very time-consuming process.

The following [http://files.eprints.org/777/ plug in] allows you to do this from the command line. Otherwise, execute the following update command in MySQL:

<code>
 UPDATE eprint SET eprint_status="archive" WHERE userid=3 AND eprint_status="inbox"
</code>

or

<code>
 UPDATE eprint SET eprint_status="archive" WHERE eprintid < 101
</code>

depending on the criteria that identifies the deposits you want to change.

Then you will need to run <tt>generate_abstracts</tt> in order for the deposited items to have an abstract page:

<code>
 /opt/eprints3/bin/generate_abstracts <archive_id>
</code>

Now your items should be available from the repository.
