[Archivesspace_Users_Group] [External Message] Error in Bulk Import

[Becky Gainsford]

Hi Kendall, thanks for the help, much appreciated. This is a very strange error. We have another instance of ArchivesSpace running v3.4.0 and importing the same file works successfully there. The initial file that uncovered this error was quite a complex import with hundreds of rows of data. So I also assumed I must have some bad data/incorrect date format or something similar. So I created a test file, using a newly downloaded bulk import template and have only 3 lines in it, a file, a folder and an item. The dates I've used are super simple  ( 1900 and 1901 ) so I don't think it is that. We have tried a server re-boot but the error persists.
Thanks again for helping.

Hi Becky,

I've run into some weird issues with the bulk importer before. From what I can tell, this looks like the issues start on Row 6 of your sheet -- something has been entered incorrectly and kept the archival object from being created. Since rows 7 and 8 are contingent on row 6 they're not being created either.

IF I'm making it out correctly (the screenshot is a bit fuzzy for me) the issue is with the date/time formatting for one of your columns. If you can't locate which cell is causing the issue, feel free to share your data with me and I'll see if I can't find it!

Cheers,

Kendall

Hi all, I'm running the Bulk Import process on v2.8.1 and am encountering this error, has anyone seen this before or know what may be causing it?

The file does validate successfully and it is a very simple test file which I am using to try to diagnose this problem. I'm using the Bulk import template downloaded from archivesspace/templates at master * archivesspace/archivesspace * GitHub<https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/tree/master/templates>

I have previously run many successful Bulk imports using the same version of ArchivesSpace and the same template so am feeling baffled. Thanks for any help, hoping this is something very simple which someone with more experience with ArchivesSpace will be able to jump in and help with....
