Metacat

Hi Jing:

Marissa Bauer, working on the POD project, created a new data package
            using Morpho - she has created about 25 of them so far. The latest
            accession # is mbauer.42.9.

Unlike the rest of the packages, this one is not included in the results of
            an NCEAS Data Repository search on the string 'POD!'. KNB portal
            and Morpho searches both to find the package.

Initially, Marissa did not include an organizationName field with NCEAS: 12192
            string in it,so I added that with the Morpho editor.

In any case, can you take a look at the DP (mbauer.42.9) and let me know what might be missing?

Thanks,
            Rick R

Hi, Rick:

Since you can find the mbauer.42.9 by searching in knb page and morpho, I thought this is a nceas skin filter issue. I looked the
      mbauser.42.9 and found it has the filter - organizationName="National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis". I am confused
      - NCEAS skin should find it.

I carefully checked the nceas skin sql query and the metacat database, it turned out that xml_path_index table hasn't been updated
      since mbauer.42.5. When I run "select * from xml_path_index where docid like 'mbauer.42';", I got:

4196745 | mbauer.42 | @packageId | � � � � � � � � 0 | � �304886418 | mbauer.42.5
      .......
      4196773 | mbauer.42 | organizationName | � � � � � � � � 0 | � �304886527 | NCEAS
      .......

You see, in xml_path_index table, the organizationName is "NCEAS", rather than "National Center for Ecological Analysis and
      Synthesis", so the nceas skin query couldn't catch the docid. Also we can see the package id is still mbauer.42.5. But the package
      id is mbauer.42.9 in document mbauer.42.9.

So I think it is a metacat bug - the xml_path_index table wasn't updated while the document was updated. In your case, the current
      document is mbauser.42.9, but the in xml_path_index is still mbuaser.42.5.
