Hello I just recognized that the Version 3.1 of the Ops returns other data than Version 3.2
I wanted to load the images for this Document: "JP S57174692 A"

Version 3.1 returns this:

Code: Select all

The Version 3.1 translated the document Number and had more Information. E.g. it had the information that the Drawings start on page 4. With Version 3.2 this information is lost.

Is there some way to get the Information like it was returned in the old Version? For us the Drawing Information is very important.

Hi,

Seems that this document is not yet fully loaded in the new system. I have just requested to the team in charge to fix it asap

Thank you for letting us know.

Thank you very much.
We encountered this problem for multiple Documents. Especially japanese ones. Perhapse there is some error, because of the "SHOWA" and "HEISEI" years.
If you compare the two XMLs you can see that the 3.1 Version translated the document Number in a number without "S" for the download. The new Version 3.2 doesn't do this.
So perhaps you can check if there isn't a general problem with these ones.

Hi,

I am afraid it’s not that simple:-) but our developers are working on it since a while, this is all due to the database migration and will be fixed soon.
