[GeoNetwork-users] Error on Harvesting

Hi All,

When I am trying to harvest metadata from one of the remote nodes I get below mentioned error. Can anyone explain me WHY I am getting this and how can I fix this.


2006-07-13 21:23:33 | [geonetwork sync] Logging in to : geonetwork

2006-07-13 21:23:34 | [geonetwork sync] Communication exception while executing schedule : geonetwork sync

2006-07-13 21:23:34 | [geonetwork sync] (C) Status : error

2006-07-13 21:23:34 | [geonetwork sync] (C) Message : Result is not in XML format


Thanks with regards,

Sadir.

Hi Sadir,

this happens in these cases:

- the authentication fails (i.e. wrong user/password)

- the remote server sends a redirect or another http specific command

try to telnet to the remote host on port 80 and do a GET / HTTP/1.1
to see if the result is in XML format of the server answers in another way
(usually with a redirect command). The 'redirect' problem will be fixed in
the next harvesting but for now the only work around is to connect directly
to the 'real' server.

Cheers,
Andrea

Hi,

Do you think there is a bug with remote search? I find the problem exists with every site using version 2.0.2. As an example, Please check http://vam.wfp.org/vamsie/srv/en/main.home with following conditions:

use remote search, set title:Tsunami, and select all servers in the list, and submit. You will get following result:

Aggregate Results matching search criteria : 33
and a list of blank records, if you click them, it complains "The 'id' parameter is missing or empty" .

Hi,Andrea,

I checked my WEB-INF/lib folder , there is a log4j-1.2.5.jar file. Is there anything related to firewall settings? because remote search depends on z3950 and port 2100.

Hi Enri,

A bug in the remote search is related to log4j: if you put log4j into the WEB-INF/lib folder
the remote search should work. I'm not sure if this is related to your problem, I will
investigate.
