Subject: accumulated Registry bugs

Here's a dump of email messages reporting bugs with the Registry. There's a
few misc messages, but here's the ones that I've seen more than once, or
know about personally:

- Documentum patch required (per Walter) so that special characters in the
metadata do not cause errors in checking into repository

- "Server did not start session..."

- Cannot submit using Netscape; screen fields are not visible. Must use IE.
(How about other browsers?)



In addition to those reported by users, here's some of my own:

- admin cannot reject requests to become submitter; Reject button exists but
doesn't work

- admin is not notified when new submissions are in the queue (requests to
become submitter *are* sent to admin, but not new submissions)

- admin cannot edit/modify submissions; only able to reject then ask the
person to start over and resubmit

Karl,
 
We  noticed that you approved a submission with a comma in it the
organization name. Please do not use the following characters for
submissions otherwise they will not be pushed out to the repository -  
 
<>, & 
 
Thanks,
 
Walter Parton




 



Karl,

    I am willing to resubmit.  But, I just tried to become a submitter by
clicking on that
button, the screen goes blank while three different URL flash by on the URL
line

(one is legal.html) and it ends up with the original looking login page but
with
a different URL:
http://registry.xml.org/RightSite/ssi4?operation=login&DOCBASE=xml_prod&logi
n_type=TIMED_OUT

Karl,

I have submitted my registration information.  There is a bug, however, with
your
registration page.  The form does not display all of the fields properly
with
Netscape 4.7 (on Win98).  In order to register I had to use IE5.01.

Karl,

I am not sure what you want us to do about this. It is clear that other
folks have been able to complete
a request to become a submitter. Have you tried walking this person through
the process?

Karl:

Thanks for the message.  I tried logging in just now, and I get the
following message:

"Server did not start session. Please see your system administrator or
check the server log. Error message from server was: "User (Sean Kelly),
with OS User name (kelly), has failed to connect to docbase (xml_prod) due
to bad login." "

I'm using the username and password I thought I signed up with, which
matches the one in the email from dmadmin@registry.xml.org.  Any ideas?

Take care,
--Sean

Dan:

This sounds like the answer. Would you mind playing guinea pig and trying
this? (I think this means choose As-Is from the IPR drop-down, then import
your IPR document and apply type IPR to it.)

Sorry for the first-day problems.

There is a problem with the documentation. To use you own IPR, the user has
to import the document
as a hosted internal document and select IPR as the type of document.

The name of the imported document will then be added to as_is and modified
in the drop down list box for future documents within that organization.

Hi Karl;

The "Request Submitter" form found at:
http://registry.xml.org/RightSite/formexec is seriously flawed.  I am using
Navigator 4.61 to try and become a submitter however there are no boxes
next to many of the fields to allow me to enter info. For example, there is
no box for "Street", "Zip", "Corporate Title" or "e-mail" in the General
Information section. In the submitting organization section, there is no
field for "Organization", "URL", "URI", "Street", "Zip" or "e-mail".

Let me know when it's fixed or if i need a different browser.

Regards,

Michael

I have so far not received requests from you to become a submitter for the

evening, and I would like to have some submissions to approve on Wednesday
morning. But before you can submit you must request to become a submitter.
Could you please do this by end of day today (Monday)? That way I can
approve your request to become a submitter during the night (Tuesday
morning
in Europe) then have submissions ready to approve when I get to the office
Wednesday morning in Boston.

Many thanks.

Karl,

I tried to fill in the become a submitter form, but it's completely broken
under Netscape. Half the fields aren't present (e.g, street, email, etc.)

I'm chatting with Walter. He says that Netscape 4.7 and later should work
because of the Java scripting. Can you try this?

I guess that this wasn't tested, eh? :-)

Could you please find out exactly what the user is doing? I created a test
submission as dmadmin and it worked fine with fully populated fields. Is he
doing something from the actions page? As soon as we can recreate the
problem we'll turn around the fix very quickly so please ask for more
details.

Thanks,

It's submitting a schema (not request to become a submitter; I was wrong).
He fills in the submission metadata then clicks submit and gets line 23
("Expected ;")

He's using IE5.

Walter:

Hope you're finally getting back to life doing something other than the
Registry :-) but here's another bug/shortcoming: I get email just fine when
someone requests to become a submitter, but there's no email notice sent
when a submission comes through. Can that be added?

Brian:

I see your submission for Portal Markup Language. I don't want to approve it
with Temp as the organization name. I have no idea how to edit that section;
on my approval screen all I'm able to edit is your perosnal info, not the
organization. I suspect that you didn't fill this in when setting yourself
up as a submitter.

Since I don't know how to edit this, perhaps the best thing is for you to
create a new submitter account (a different variant of your name? w/ middle
initial?) or I can delete your submitter then create a new one.

I have. If it hasn't worked, then the submission process isn't 
obvious. Or there's a bug somewhere.

Karl,

The web publisher log text below indicated that there was an ampersand in
one of the attributes for the pushed item. Indeed, the Data contact field in
the Channel, Inc. organization object contained an ampersand - 'Standards &
Technology Li' - which caused the webcache error. I fixed the problem by
replacing the ampersand with 'and' and then republishing the webcache. As
noted by Mike Murray in an previous email, make sure to have i-structure
execute the following commands in oracle after a successful webcache refresh
-

grant select on xml_push_s to reg_search
grant select on xml_push_r to reg_search

- otherwise the search page will error out on searches.

Please carefully review all fields of the organization for ampersands before
approving requests to become submitters. We expect to see a patch that
accepts the special characters in about two weekes.

Thanks,

Walter Parton

Walter:

BrianE @ Datachannel just submitted a schema a few minutes ago and the
push
didn't work. Still problems with that, evidently.

Could you push it through, then figure out why it's not working
autommatically?

After clicking on the "submit" button for a submission, I received a java 
script error.  Unable to continue with the action link association.

when people are submitting their items in the registry, they are leaving the
mime type field set to its default value.
they should be picking the correct mime type from the list.
the default is text/plain and this isn't quite right for most submissions.
