Upload Error: VesselLengthClass code invalid for RDBES #161

Closed rix133 closed 2 years ago

rix133 commented 2 years ago

While trying to upload to RDBES I get the following error:

'CEvesselLengthCategory' VL1218 Enumeration The 'CEvesselLengthCategory' element is invalid

However the documentation states clearly that the code should be VesselLengthClass that has the code VL1218 (not deprecated)

What am I missing?

Even though a code isn't deprecated it still might not be valid for use in the RDBES - unfortunately I don't think there is currently a way to identify this in the public view of the ICES vocabulary. Only non-overlapping vessel length codes are allowed in the RDBES to avoid ambiguity - I believe these are: 'VL0006','VL0608','VL0810','VL1012','VL1215','VL1518','VL1824','VL2440','VL40XX'. Hopefully in the future the ICES vocab server will show whether or not a code is valid for a specific database.

The ICES Data Centre is working on showing only the specific codes related to the different systems, which uses the Vocab. Until that is ready, it is possible to see which codes that can be used for the RDBES, by searching codes through the RDBES. That is done by doing the following: In Vocab search for ‘RDBES’ select the ICES Codes (22) or Codes (22) tab and click RDBES. Now scroll to the relevant code type and click it, then the page refreshes, then scroll to the bottom of the page where only the relevant accepted codes are shown.
