Error using the Related Data fields in ReDBox

[grantj-re3]

Background in QCIF zendesk ticket #131

At http://ands.org.au/guides/cpguide/cpgcoll-bestpractice.html ANDS recommend Hierarchical relations between collections. Hence we are using parent-child relationships between datasets.

There seem to be several problems with ReDBox 1.6.1 "Related Data" operation (even after applying the fix https://github.com/redbox-mint/redbox/blob/89c21f0afc6a2ab777bd701d88169fc16881fdd2/config/src/main/config/portal/default/redbox/scripts/actions/datasets.py). Here is a list of what I think works and what does not.

1. These features seem to work after applying the above fix - thanks!

1.1 If I publish 2 datasets, then link with "hasPart" the curation succeeds and there are no GUI errors. (There are main.log errors as given in 2.1.)

1.2 If I publish dataset A, then link to it with "hasPart" from unpublished dataset B, the curation of dataset B succeeds and there are no GUI errors. (There are main.log errors as given in 2.1.)

1.3 In the above scenario, if "Publish to RDA" is checked then the relatedObject is shown in the RIF-CS.

1.4 [New info] If I publish dataset A, then link to it with "hasPart" from published dataset B, the curation of dataset B succeeds as per 1.2 above.

2. The following seems to not work as I expected.

2.1 In successful scenarios 1.1 and 1.2 above and also unsuccessful scenarios, there seems to be a main.log error at the time that the selected dataset title (being linked) loses focus. The error is:

'File "default/redbox/scripts/actions/datasets.py", line 32, in __activate__ ... java.lang.NullPointerException'.

2.2 If the relation type (for example) is changed after publication, the new relation type is shown in the ReDBox details screen but the old relation type is shown in the RIF-CS. Similarly, if Publish to RDA is unchecked after publication, the details screen agrees with this new configuration but the relatedObject is still shown in the RIF-CS.

2.3 If I link to an unpublished dataset A from a published dataset B, I get the errors in main.log and transactionManager.log below and an email re dataset B which says "An error occurred curating this object, some manual intervention may be required; please see the system logs". The Curation section of the details screen for dataset B says:

• dc:relation.vivo:Dataset.0.dc:identifier
• None (waiting on curation) (OPTIONAL)

I imagine the above is expected since dataset A is not yet published. However, after publishing dataset A neither datasets A nor B are linked via relatedObject RIF-CS elements. The curation section of the details screen for dataset B still says "None (waiting on curation) (OPTIONAL)". The Related Data fields of the description section of the details screen for dataset B says:

• Has part: >> Dataset A
• ID: None

I suspect this together with the transactionManager.log message indicates that dataset B was unable to find the ID of linked dataset A. (Normally ID shows the published handle URL.)

2.4 If I link to an unpublished dataset A from an unpublished dataset B, I get the symptoms similar to those described in 2.3.
