Re: OPS timeouts on 6 and 7 January 2018
I would like to report that OPS timeouts still happen as of today, 15 February 2018. I also note that this thread seems to be of some interest to OPS users. If other OPS users also experience OPS timeouts I would suggest that they communicate this here. Otherwise, OPS support and developer team will...

XML responses filled with null characters as from 8KB
I have newly observed something very strange and which might be related to the unparseable XML response issue I earlier posted here. I now observe (I cannot cite the exact date when this started, but since perhaps January 2018) that the raw byte response stream contains, starting as from about 8KByt...

Re: PDF format of OPS 3.2 manual
The PDF OPS manual as provided indeed behaves strangely when searching for terms. Instead of highlighting found terms it draws a large blue box around some character. Instead of jumping to the next instance of the sought term it keeps advancing the said blue box by one character. This is perhaps bec...

Re: OPS timeouts on 6 and 7 January 2018
Did you receive from EPO support the logfile I announced? Otherwise I will have to re-send it to a new e-mail-address you indicate to me.

Re: OPS timeouts on 6 and 7 January 2018
I finally managed to track down the timeout problem. Sometimes the raw XML response data received from OPS are corrupted, causing a local InvalidOperationException when attemping to deserialize them. My software then retries the same query again, to possibly obtain with the second query a deserializ...

OPS returning stale results
Dear OPS support, I have now observed the following: Sometimes the OPS servers simply return the result from the previous query, instead of returning the results of the subsequent query. This is then visible from the ETag response header, which is identical between subsequent responses. It is then a...

Re: OPS timeouts on 6 and 7 January 2018
I have tested just now. The problem with the immediately expirying OAuth2 tokens (HTTP 400 Bad Request invalid_access_token immediately received) persists. I had one application for downolading PDF documents which was working fine so far. As from about now 8/9 January 2018 it no longer works. The im...

Re: OPS timeouts on 6 and 7 January 2018
I retried yesterday 23 p.m and again had a timeout without any response from OPS (data or error or fault). When I tried this morning I suddenly had an even more curious behaviour: I received an apparently valid OAuth2 token, which however upon use was immediately rejected from the authentication ser...
