- Please make sure you have JAVA installed on your computer. If you don't, you can download it here: https://java.com/en/download/
- Download the SEAD Uploader tool (sead1.2e.jar) here: https://sead-demo.ncsa.illinois.edu/acr/#dataset?id=tag:sead-data.net,2015:data_Xmk1VG3y2CdOCXI9zjUShg
- Request the sead-google.json file by sending an email to SEADdatanet@umich.edu.
- On your computer, open the root directory that contains files and folders you would like to upload to your Project Space in SEAD.
- Put the sead1.2b2e.jar file and sead-google.json files in this directory.
- Holding the SHIFT button, right click on your mouse to open a menu. Select the "Open Command Window Here" option.
- Once you have the Command Window open, invoke the SEADUploader by typing the following in the Command Window:
java -cp sead1.2b2e.jar org.sead.acr.client.SEADUploader <-listonly> <-merge> <-limit<X>> <-ex<Y>> <serverUrl> <directories/files list...>
...
directories/files lists - a list of one or more directory or file names the Uploader should work on. The Uploader will recurse (depth first) through the files and subdirectories contained within any listed directory.
Examples:
java -cp sead1.2b2e.jar org.sead.acr.client.SEADUploader -listonly https://sead-demo.ncsa.illinois.edu/acr mydir
Check ./mydir and list all collections and datasets that would be created without the -listonly flag
java -cp sead1.2b2e.jar org.sead.acr.client.SEADUploader https://sead-demo.ncsa.illinois.edu/acr mydir
...
Note that if this command is run a second time, new collections and datasets will be created - probably not what you'd want. Instead use:
java -cp sead1.2b2e.jar org.sead.acr.client.SEADUploader -merge https://sead-demo.ncsa.illinois.edu/acr mydir
This command will only create collections and datasets that have not previously been uploaded. (The "instanceOf" metadata is used to identify matching items, so starting with the same directory on your disk is required (i.e. starting up or down one directory will result in new uploads))
java -cp sead1.2b2e.jar org.sead.acr.client.SEADUploader -merge -limit100 https://sead-demo.ncsa.illinois.edu/acr mydir
Upload a maximum of 100 datasets (files) and only create the collections (directories) required. Using this command repeatedly (with the -merge flag) will upload the next 100 datasets, so repeated use will eventually upload all datasets, as though the limit flag had not been used. Since this mode (with -merge and -limit) requires the Uploader to check for existing files to identify where to begin, it will be slower than not using the -limit switch.
