Thank you very much. I suggest starting with 0.5million, and then 1 million and then 3 million. I will be surprised if this works without some bug fixing. You may just use http://ipt.gbif.org rather than installation. Thanks Mihail, help with tests like this is greatly appreciated.

you can upload zipped file archives now with the latest subversion trunk version. it automatically detects if your file is a ZIP and then inserts all its files as IPT sources. Soon to be on ipt.gbif.org.

text file upload (larger record numbers)
by Andrea Hahn (GBIF) 27 Feb '09

27 Feb '09

Hi, quick note: I have been playing a bit with text file uploads for occurrence records, using a tabular export from the GBIF index on a 500,000+ record dataset. Using different subsets of the same recordset, I have not been able to get beyond the 310,000 records cutdown of the test set so far - this equals a file size of 99,974kB in the given example. The next larger set (320,000 records, 100MB) and all larger ones fail with Yikes! javax.servlet.ServletException: Expression resource is undefined on line 87, column 30 in

Beta update
by Tim Robertson 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

Dear All, A new version has just been deployed, and all user accounts have been kept intact, but you will notice significant changes, and we hope improvements. Please use the http://code.google.com/p/gbif-providertoolkit/issues/ list to track and input issues. If there is a volunteer wishing to test an upload of a large dataset (500,000+ records) it would be very much appreciated if you could report back on the experience. Thanks for all your feedback, Best wishes, Tim

Re: [IPT] IPT Open source License
by Mergen Patricia 13 Feb '09

13 Feb '09

Ok by the way the colleagues from the Cascadoss project I sent the e-mail earlier have a very good evaluation procedure for Open source software that is recognized by the EU. It is more for GIS software but a lot is generic for OSS and just the specifically GIS criteria would need to be adapted. They said as long as we keep them informed and cite the project properly we can use if it is relevant for our projects their procedures and adapt them. I attach the documents. We have already approached EDIT and STERNA if they want to use it for their deliverables on evaluation of the results of the products. We found it rather interesting, criteria very well adapted to OSS and also less heavy to implement than a real certification procedure It is also very useful to pinpoint strength and weaknesses in a OSS development or implementation project and to see the changes and enhancement from version to version ... Let me know if you think this could be also something interesting to use in the GBIF or TDWG "compliant" software ? Typically in criteria where it says compatible with WMS, OGC and so on we can put criteria adapted to the software domain like TDWG standards, Digital libraries, CDM ...

IPT Open source License
by Beach, James H 13 Feb '09

13 Feb '09

Could anyone comment on the choice of the Mozilla Public License for the IPT? I'm curious about which property made it the best choice. I'm reviewing (for the third time) FOSS licenses for Specify 6, and am going through the usual decision tree: viral vs. non-viral GPL compatible or not and the various nuances of each license. I noticed that IPT is parked on Google Code, and then discovered this. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/07/25/googlecode_bans_mpl/ many thanks, Jim B. _____________________________ James H.

Problem with setenv.sh
by Peter Desmet 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

Hi all, I wanted to increase the memory of Tomcat, so I copied the setenv.sh Tim provided to the bin directory, but this breaks Tomcat (http://localhost:8080/ can not be found). Removing the file and restarting Tomcat fixes the problem. I also discovered some warnings in Terminal when I want to ./shutdown.sh Tomcat, which weren't there before. Are there other ways to increase the memory, and how can I check how much memory is allocated to Tomcat? I use apache-tomcat-6.0.18 on Mac OS X (10.5.6) with 4GB SDRAM. The setenv.sh file contains Tim's: export JAVA_OPTS="-server -XX:+UseParallelGC -Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=1024m -Xms1024m -Djava.awt.headless=true" Peter -- Peter Desmet Biodiversity Informatics Manager / Directeur de l'informatique de la biodiversité Montréal Biodiversity Centre / Centre sur la biodiversité de Montréal Institut de recherche en biologie végétale Université de Montréal 4101, rue Sherbrooke est Montréal, Québec, H1X 2B2 Canada Télé / Phone: 514-872-5249 Télécopie / Fax: 514-872-9406 Email: peter.desmet.cubc(a)gmail.com

IPT for Mac OSX

Dear all, to make life easier for macintosh users I have adapted the geoserver installer to run the IPT: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/457027/ipt-1.0b.3.dmg It is a regular Mac application that uses Jetty to host geoserver and the IPT locally. You can start/stop the server with a single click. This is not intended for serious production use, in that case Tomcat is still recommended and you will need to have a continously running server. But it should come handy for people to try and play with the IPT. Markus
