Hi Annie,

 

If your data is in a database (MySQL, Oracle, etc), you can make a database connection to the database within the IPT instead uploading a file. https://github.com/gbif/ipt/wiki/IPT2ManualManageResources.wiki#database-as-data-source

 

Or (and this is a hack) you create a same named file with a just few records that you can upload and map. Then you take the same named file with all the records and copy it over the uploaded file on the server in the ipt data folder. Then you go back to the IPT, edit the data source and click the Analyze button, Save, then publish. Someone with access to the directories on the server would need to do this.

 

 

Best,

 

Laura

Subject: [IPT] How does one upload large datasets to GBIF?

 

Colleagues:

 

What is the easiest or most popular way to send large datasets to GBIF, ones that are too large for the IPT software (I think that is more than 100MB zipped, 10+million records)? Does one modify their IPT instance? How? Or is there another process that is preferred?

 

We currently have IPT Version 2.3.6-r3985b6a installed and plan to upgrade to 2.4.0 soon.

 

A technical answer is what I seek (on behalf of our technical team).

 

Again my apologies if the answer to my question is easily found and I'm just not finding it.
