I cannot resolve my harvesting problem. I have a remote production server (http://soggy.zoology.ubc.ca:8080/geonetwork) with about 500 metadata records. When I harvest to a local server running GN3.4.4, I successfully transfer 485 records ONLY.
Examining the harvest log, I see documentation for 14 missing records. I parse these records for description of error, log row of error, uuid, metadata row and column (if present). Using the uuid I determine the metadata title, download the records as MEFs, determine the mef size, and validation documentation (always 0 errors, no GN or ISO schematron errors, and varying URL validations [ which do not seem to indicate any pattern]). For those records with an indicated 0x0 character, I have examined the files in hex mode with a text editor, and there are no false characters. I summarize my investigation as .
I have examined the downloaded metadata with an external validator (Kernow/Saxon), and there are no errors indicated in the metadata records.
I am stumped as to why these particular records will not harvest, and would appreciate any suggestions.
