Uploading large data files from BPS to reBiND
When the XML data files are large (> 1000 records or abcd:Units) it is currently necessary to export multiple files from the BPS and run an xquery script to join them into a single ABCD file.
The following steps describe how to do this:
1. export the data from BPS using ABCD2SEARCH. Save each file as {dataset name}_1.xml, {dataset name}_2.xml ...
set the start=0 and the limit=998
for the next file set the start=999 and the limit=998
(continue to export XML files naming them with a sequential suffix until their are no further records)
2. Create a new project in rebind and name it with a unique name e.g. HBGnummeriert (dataset name) and then create a collection called ‘abcd’ by pressing 'Create collection'. Click on 'abcd' to navigate into the new collection. Store all of the individual ABCD files in the 'abcd' collection by pressing 'Upload File' and selecting each file - one at a time until all files are uploaded: e.g. HBGnummeriert _1.XML, HBGnummeriert_2.XML etc.
3. In another browser tab, call the following script using the following URL (replace the final part of the URL with the name of your collection e.g. if your collection is called HBGnummeriert then the URL should end with coll=HBGnummeriert)
http://http://data-rebind.bgbm.org/rebind/join_abcd.xquery?coll=HBGnummeriert
