Getting response of SERVER.DomainAccess and request not working

Post by zax123 » Thu Aug 10, 2017 2:42 pm

Hi guys,

I've been using the EPO OPS for a while now. In the past few months, I've been getting responses of:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<fault xmlns="http://ops.epo.org">
    <code>SERVER.DomainAccess</code>
    <message>The request could not be processed. Please try again later</message>
</fault>
That response was generated for this request:

Code: Select all

https://ops.epo.org/rest-services/published-data/publication/docdb/CA2452287/biblio
If I type the request into a browser directly, it works no problem. I am using a token'ed request with a POST from curl.

Here are the response headers:

Code: Select all

HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error
Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Authorization
Access-Control-Allow-Methods: POST

I do dozens of requests every evening and about half of them end up with this result.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Robert

Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?

Dear user,

The database is "refreshed" every night at 5 a.m. (Central European Time).
This could be the cause for the interruption of the service.

Kind regards,

OPS support

Thanks! I've changed my routine to run 2 hours earlier. Let's see tonight if that fixes.

I appreciate you taking the time to respond.

Robert
