Parameters
| Parameter | Note |
|---|---|

Setting up the directory structure
| Structure 1, a directory with multiple record files (no attachments) |
|---|
/tmp/separateRecords/record1.xml |
| /tmp/separateRecords/record2.xml |
| What happens – each file is uploaded separately as a record into tDAR. If there are other files that are not XML records, they are ignored |
| Structure 2, a directory with a single record file and one or more attachments |
|---|
/tmp/singleRecord/record1.xml |
| /tmp/singleRecord/img1.jpg |
| /tmp/singleRecord/img2.jpg |
| What happens – record1 is uploaded and img1 and img2 are uploaded and associated with it |
| Structure 3, a degenerate case |
|---|
/tmp/bad/record1.xml |
| /tmp/bad/img1.jpg |
| /tmp/bad/record2.xml |
| What happens – record1 and record2 are uploaded, the image is ignored as the API Tool doesn't know what to do with it |
