IPT v2.3 - release candidate
by Kyle Braak 20 Aug '15

20 Aug '15

Dear IPT users, A release candidate of IPT v2.3 is now available for download [1]. Please note this release is only intended for testing, and should not be installed in production. If you don’t have time to install it, you can always try it out at http://ipt.gbif-uat.org/ [2] (just email me if you want an account). Its most notable enhancements include: Support for publishing sample-based datasets, incorporating all the changes now in the prototype at the EU BON IPT [3] Support for versionable IPT extensions, making it possible to update to newer versions whenever they become available A slightly redesigned mapping page, making it easier to map your source data If no major problems are uncovered during testing, IPT v2.3 will be released next week. In the meantime, volunteer translators are hard at work, and the user manual is being updated. Thank you for your attention and help, Kyle, on behalf of the IPT development team and the GBIF Secretariat [1] https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4552753/ipt-2.3-rc1.war [2] http://ipt.gbif-uat.org/ [3] http://eubon-ipt.gbif.org/

Static assets URLs
by Nicolas Noé 04 Aug '15

04 Aug '15

Hi, I have just installed an instance of IPT 2.3RC on my Mac OS X laptop using Tomcat 7 (manually installed). It's working perfectly fine as long as I access it on the local machine, using localhost URLs. I'd like to make it accessible from other hosts on the local network (to be used as a test server during GB22 training events in Antananarivo). It seems the (generated) URLs for IPT static assets (CSS, JS, ...) always start with "http://localhost:8080", even when the page is requested from a different URL such as http://10.209.1.58:8080/ipt-2.3-rc1 . So from another machine, I can get the basic page, but with 404 errors on all static files. I feel this is maybe related to https://github.com/gbif/ipt/issues/817, and comes from the fact that the IPT doesn't use the queried URL as a base for generating other URLs. Is there an easy way for me to circumvent this problem? Should I put a reverse proxy in front of Tomcat ? Any sample, working configuration for that ? Thanks, Nicolas

Dear, I was wondering, in DwC it is stated: *Recommended best practice is to use a controlled vocabulary such as the list of Darwin Core classes. Examples: "PreservedSpecimen", "FossilSpecimen", "LivingSpecimen", "HumanObservation", "MachineObservation". For discussion see http://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/dwc:basisOfRecord <http://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/dwc:basisOfRecord>* As far as I understand, this is not mandatory and we have been using terms which are not in the 'supposed' controlled vocabulary on the tdwg site.... Publishing version #22.1 of resource belgian-coccinellidae-inbo-occurrences failed: Archive generation for resource belgian-coccinellidae-inbo-occurrences failed: Can't validate DwC-A for resource belgian-coccinellidae-inbo-occurrences. Each row in the occurrence file(s) must have a basisOfRecord, and each basisOfRecord must match the Darwin Core Type Vocabulary (please note comparisons are case insensitive) Continue to resource overview. My problem is that IPT refuses to republish my previously published datasets where we use terms like: 'literatureObservation' , 'literature', fieldObservation or 'unknown What to do?

Re: [IPT] Java 6

Hey Kyle! We're still running IPT under java 6. But we're in the process of getting rid of java 6 everywhere in our data center. I believe that it's a matter of weeks. Best regards, George

Java 6
by Kyle Braak 22 Jun '15

22 Jun '15

Dear IPT Users, The IPT currently supports running on a server with Java 6. As you may be aware, Java 7 reached its end of life in April 2015. Consequently, the GBIF development team is now in the process of upgrading its projects to use Java 8 instead. If you’re still using Java 6 to run your IPT, can you please let us know? Don’t worry if you are, because the imminent release of version 2.3 will still support Java 6. Thank you for your time and attention, Kyle, on behalf of the GBIF development team

IPT setup
by Tim Robertson 06 May '15

Hi Max, Thanks for popping by today. On your server you have apache running on port 80 [1] and tomcat running on port 8080, but port 8080 is not accessible on the internet. You can therefore either do a) run tomcat on port 80 as described here: http://georgik.sinusgear.com/2012/03/10/tomcat-7-listen-on-port-80-linux-de… - I am afraid this varies on operating system to operating system and on the operating system version, so the best answers will probably come from googling, or asking the Tomcat mailing list. b) use apache as a proxy to tomcat as described in https://code.google.com/p/gbif-providertoolkit/wiki/IPTServerPreparation#Co… Please can I ask that you join the IPT mailing list on http://lists.gbif.org/mailman/listinfo/ipt and post questions there for assistance? I hope this helps, and please let us know how you get on Tim [1] http://62.176.19.143/

IPT v2.2.1 released
by Kyle Braak 20 Apr '15

20 Apr '15

Dear IPT users, A new minor release of the IPT (v2.2.1) has been released and is available for download here [1]. This release fixes a bug [2] limited to IPT version 2.2 instances where archival mode [3] has been turned ‘off'. The bug causes the DwC-A download to disappear from the resource homepage. For those affected, you can either A) upgrade to 2.2.1, or B) turn ‘on' the IPT’s archival mode and republish your resources. Instructions on how to upgrade your IPT can be found in the IPT’s release notes [4]. Sorry for the inconvenience this bug may have caused you, Kyle [1] http://repository.gbif.org/content/groups/gbif/org/gbif/ipt/2.2.1/ipt-2.2.1… [2] https://code.google.com/p/gbif-providertoolkit/issues/detail?id=1155 [3] https://code.google.com/p/gbif-providertoolkit/wiki/IPT2ManualNotes?tm=6#Co… [4] https://code.google.com/p/gbif-providertoolkit/wiki/IPTReleaseNotes22#Upgra…
