GeoPortal server doesn't accept UTF-16 encoded records produced by ArcCatalog #253

Closed torrin47 closed 7 years ago

torrin47 commented 8 years ago

ArcCatalog appears to be producing metadata records that are encoded as utf-16 (Notepad++ reports the encoding as "UCS-2 LE BOM") but GeoPortal server rejects these records as "unable to parse", and will only harvest them if they've been converted to UTF-8. An example record is attached. Any way to improve the parsing abilities of GeoPortal server, or is this a limitation of the underlying Java libraries? SEGSMetadataRecord.zip

I haven't run into ArcCatalog outputting utf-16. I do see the issue when we "Upload" your sample metadata using Geoportal, we can fix this. We can also check web accessible folder harvesting.

Based on a call we had in January, we opened a ticket with the desktop metadata team to try to understand why ArcCatalog is outputting UTF-16 - Aleta believes this should be regarded as a bug on the desktop side, so we can probably close this issue on the GeoPortal side.

ok. I did have a question out to Aleta, but we'll close this for now
