Hi Markus!

Is this migration finished? Because I see some inconsistent behaviour in the name matching and I'm not sure if this is because the maintenance is still in progress or maybe something is wrong and I should create a ticket.

Basically what happens is that I get old IDs (from dataset 3) for some of the species whilst matching as the first result, even though the "dataset" is set in the request.

https://api.catalogueoflife.org/nidx/match?q=Agrostis%20tileni

https://api.catalogueoflife.org/dataset/2368/nameusage?nidx=817314

...

datasetKey        3

id           "15e466ac-6606-46e4-b052-70ee8304fbda"

sectorKey           85

scientificName  "Agrostis tileni"

...

This also seems to take the name-match (https://data.catalogueoflife.org/tools/name-match) UI by surprise, it will not display the result correctly (the requests above are what the UI is sending to the server).

Thank you,

Mihai

Subject: [COL-Users] Maintenance work coming up - API in read only

Dear COL users,

we are preparing for a larger update of the main database over this weekend for which we will have to turn the COL API into a read only mode. We expect the work to start later today and to stay in read only mode until early Monday. Please excuse any inconveniences during that time. The COL portal and most of the API will work just as usual, but expect the following services to be unavailable:

 - dataset imports

 - any active project work incl. sector syncs and tree manipulations

 - name matching

With the changes to come we will be prepared to synchronise COL Checklist Bank with the GBIF registry and thus ingest all GBIF checklist datasets including all of the Plazi work.

Best,

Markus
