Product: Rosetta
Product Version: 7.0

Symptoms

one or more of the following:

Deleting an IE from one published set affects the publishing status of the same IE being published by another OAI Publishing Configuration:
IEs are published with 'deleted' status.
The published 'datestamp' is incorrect.
The published metadata is incorrect - the actual format does not match the chosen 'Metadata Format' ('metadataPrefix')

Cause

Having the same IE being published by more than a single OAI Publishing Configuration causes unexpected behavior with Publishing, when using either the same 'Set Spec' or the same 'Metadata Format'.

Defect Status

A fix is tentatively planned to be part of Rosetta SP 8.0

Workaround

For any relevant Publishing Configurations' profile configured a different 'Set Spec' and different 'Metadata Format'.

To add a new 'Metadata Format' in the system, two changes are needed to be performed* in the Administration Module:

Access 'Configuration Files' → 'File Group' of "External Interfaces" → 'Sub-Group' of "OAI_provider" → Edit 'oaiproviderconfig.xml' and add another 'Metadata Format' entry.

For example - first duplicate:

<metadataFormat>

<metadataPrefix>oai_dc</metadataPrefix>
<schema>http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/oai_dc.xsd</schema>

<metadataNamespace>http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/oai_dc/</metadataNamespace>
</metadataFormat>

Then, change the duplicate's 'metadataPrefix' value (e.g. to "oai_dc_2").
Eventually, the original and duplicate should look like:

<metadataFormat>

<metadataPrefix>oai_dc</metadataPrefix>

<schema>http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/oai_dc.xsd</schema>

<metadataNamespace>http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/oai_dc/</metadataNamespace>

</metadataFormat>

<metadataFormat>

<metadataPrefix>oai_dc_2</metadataPrefix>

<schema>http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/oai_dc.xsd</schema>

<metadataNamespace>http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/oai_dc/</metadataNamespace>

</metadataFormat>

When finished editing → Click 'Save'.
Access 'Code Tables' → Edit 'OAI Meta data format' → Select the needed 'Languages' from top of the screen → fill the needed data beneath 'Create a New Code Table Row' → Click 'Create' → Click 'Save'.
e.g:
Code: "oai_dc_2"
Description: "oai_dc_2"
'Language' field can be left empty.
