Bulk ingestion: upload multiple titles into Golden Gate

Only .ePub files can be bulk uploaded into Golden Gate. Each ePub file for an eText 2.0 title should be no larger than 2 GB.

collapsedUpload multiple titles

  1. Sign in to Golden Gate.
  2. Choose eText 2.0 from the Application menu.
  3. Select Add Bulk Books from the Golden Gate book list page. (collapsedShow the screen.)

  4. Enter the required FTP information into the text boxes. You can transfer files only from the Revel and eText 2.0 FTP Server. You cannot transfer files from other FTP servers at this time.

    File Path: Enter the URL for this FTP server, where project_name is the folder that contains all your ePub files: ftp://ec2-54-215-182-182.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com/production/group_name/project_name/filename

    If your group (such as School or Higher Ed) doesn’t have a directory on the server yet, contact ggmbops@pearson.com to create one.

    Username and Password: Enter the FTP server username and password.

  5. Select the files you want to bulk upload and production as the environment to deploy to. Indicate the group as Higher Ed or School LR.
  6. Select Deploy and OK for the titles to be bulk ingested into Golden Gate. As the titles are ingested, refresh your view to see when the Last Status column for each uploaded book changes from "Deployment Started" to "Deployed" on the book list page. Once the files have been ingested, you can edit metadata and perform other tasks on these files individually from Golden Gate.

Bulk upload can be performed for a given title ONLY ONE TIME in Golden Gate. When you bulk upload a title, the book version is listed as 1 (as opposed to a 3-digit version number for an individual upload). If you need to ingest a newer version of a title, see the Help topic Upload a minor version ePub file.

Bulk configuration of multiple eText 2.0 titles is also available in Mission Bay. See the topic "Configure and publish multiple titles" in the Mission Bay Help for details.

Check if your titles are ready for configuration in Mission Bay: From the Golden Gate book list page, check that EPS Upload Complete appears in the Last Status column for the appropriate book row.
