Hi Mike, 

Then don't use the Admin interface to load data. ;-) 

Personally I really like doing everything from within predefined xquery modules, including initialization of the databases etc. For loading document, you could use something like the following: 

let $datapath := 
concat(translate(xdmp:modules-root(), '\', '/'), "/data/") 

let $datauri := 
"/myproject/data/" 

let $files := 
xdmp:filesystem-directory($datapath)/self::dir:directory/dir:entry[dir:type = "file"]/dir:filename 

let $import := 
for $file in $files 

let $filepath := 
concat($datapath, $file) 

let $fileuri := 
concat($datauri, $file) 

return ( 
xdmp:document-load($filepath, 
<options xmlns="xdmp:document-load"> 
<uri>{$fileuri}</uri> 
<format>xml</format> 
</options> 
), 
<li>{$fileuri}..</li> 
) 

return 

<html> 
<body> 
<ul>{$import}</ul> 
<p>{count($import)} files imported succesfully.</p> 
</body> 
</html> 

You can replace xdmp:modules-root() by a fixed path if you like. You can put this code in a .xqy file, or run it directly from CQ. The documents get inserted into the current database. 

Alternatively, look at http://developer.marklogic.com/code/ for pre-made tools that can help you. There are CQSH, RecordLoader and XQSync. You can also take a look at XMLSH, that can be found here: http://www.xmlsh.org/ModuleMarkLogic 

Kind regards, 
Geert
