Hi Everyone,<br>
<br>
Since we have not had a go-essp-tech call in quite a while, I
thought I would send out an email summarizing the metadata-display
operational issues going across the federation:<br>
<br>
<br>
STATUS OF BUGS IN THE SOFTWARE: These issues affect every
installation and all users...<br>
<br>
1) CIM instances (that contain unicode characters) are not
displaying properly. This includes instances that contain %
signs, "(", or umlauts. This has been permanently fixed in 2.0
RC1, but will still be an issue for users until 2.0 is finalized
and installed across the federation.<br>
<br>
2) Users are presented with a blurb on the simulation search page
indicating that "Much of the 5th Coupled Model Intercomparison
Project (CMIP5) metadata that will be accessible from this gateway
is not yet available". This has been fixed in 2.0 RC1, but will
still be an issue for users until 2.0 is finalized and installed
across the federation. <br>
<br>
<br>
CENTER SPECIFIC ISSUES:<br>
<br>
There are some gateways with technical issues that also affect
users:<br>
<br>
1) PCMDI: Users get an internal server error when they click on
the results of any metadata search, and see no model metadata at
all. This fix requires that PCMDI update their postgres database.<br>
<br>
<div>2) NCI: Users see most (37/61) but not all metadata records
because NCI needs to reharvest their triple store as part of
their upgrade to 1.3.4. We are in contact with NCI and walking
them through this. Note that triple store reharvests will be
significantly less painful with ESG 2.0. </div>
<div>
<div><br></div>
</div>
3) DKRZ: Users will not see data links in the trackback for local
DKRZ data. This problem has been identified as a mismatch between
the names in the data and what is coming out of the CIM. Such
mismatches were anticipated and a mapping file created to
translate between the two. This file just needs to be updated at
DKRZ. This is being worked. <br>
<br>
As always, you may check the status of metadata across the
federation at: <a href="http://esgf.org/wiki/Cmip5Status" target="_blank">http://esgf.org/wiki/Cmip5Status</a><br>

I last checked all the sites on 6 January and recheck every
Friday.<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>******************************************<br><font color="#888888">Sylvia Murphy<br>
