Known Issues

System Environment

  • Apache Tomcat 6.0.13 and earlier not supported. If used, then when users access certain pages (Register Network Resource, the Search page), they'll be redirected to the Home Page. Logfile will show an error that the EL expression cannot be parsed. This is an issue with Apache Tomcat and not Geoportal code. Workaround is to use later version of Tomcat; recommended is version 6.0.32 and higher (but not Tomcat 7.x).

User Management

  • Geoportal does not support registering new users through Register page or changing a password through the My Profile page if configured with Active Directory.

Discovery

  • The ability for a WMS service to be previewed will depend on the projections supported by the service specified for the Geoportal Search map. See the Important Notes in the Changing the Map Service Topic for details.
  • When the thumbnail in metadata is not found, an empty image displays in the search result/details page.
  • Thumbnails with partially encoded URL reference (e.g., http://www.testserver.com/images/Note%20the%20encoding%20here/but no encoding here.JPG), the h:graphicImage java server faces component renders the link with plus signs in the spaces. Workaround is to use fully encoded URLs in thumbnail links.
  • Searching ArcGIS.com through federated search allows users to choose Live Data and extent for a search criteria, but these are not supported by ArcGIS.com.
  • KML and KMZ file having html code in CDATA section as a description does not get rendered properly and show html string.
  • KML files that use a geometry other than points or rectangles (e.g., lines, other polygons) will not be rendered on the Preview page.
  • When a document title is long with no spaces, HTML rendering does not wrap the title in search results.
  • When OntologyService.war is deployed in weblogic without unzipping the .war file, the Ontology service does not return related terms.

Publishing

  • Geoportal calendar does not work properly if a server is set with different locale in JVM such as Buddhist calendar.
  • When metadata status gets updated with the checkbox "Apply action to the entire result set", the status change gets updated in search and lucene index files when the next synchronization (to sync between lucene index and database) process runs and finishes.
  • THREDDS harvesting will harvest metadata from the THREDDS URL without including the 'catalog' parameter of the URL (included at the ISO link on the THREDDS html page as of THREDDS version 4.2.8). The catalog parameter enables retrieval of additional information items to enrich the metadata, such as what service endpoints are available.

Synchronization

  • For CSW protocol, incremental Synchronization will not reharvest metadata that have been deleted from admin interface.
  • If a repository doesn't support last updated date info, Incremental sync will act like full sync.
