Respected @ asmecher Sir,
I’ve tried following points :

When i saw error from OCLC, i’ve changed domain from https to http
Point 1st didn’t work, so that i’ve have cleaned all the OJS and reinstalled back to same domain.
Again Point 1 and 2 didn’t work, so that i decided to install on different domain to check whether problem might be only with my domain.
All above points did not worked form me, so that i’ve checked all other related replies from PKP support and tried to check my oai to http://oval.base-search.net/

It said following error

XML Validation

ERROR: Identify response well-formed but invalid: Element ‘{https://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/}OAI-PMH’: No matching global declaration available for the validation root., line 6

ERROR: ListRecords response well-formed but invalid: Element ‘{https://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/}OAI-PMH’: No matching global declaration available for the validation root., line 6

worldcat OCLC it says error
rror: Not all required tests passed, you cannot add this repository.

Hi @jain034567,

When i saw error from OCLC, i’ve changed domain from https to http

Where specifically did you modify this?

I’d made changes into base url (i.e. base_url = “https://”) of config.inc.php file also changed the option into security setting force_ssl = On and force_login_ssl = On

tried to check http and Off setting for both ssl

thank you sir for your reply

regards

Hi @jain034567,

If you’re using OJS 3.1.2-0, you’ll need to apply Revert "#4466 oai links updated" · pkp/pkp-lib@0e21a53 · GitHub to resolve the problem. Note that as far as I’m aware the problem only affects validation tools like Wordcat’s OAI tester; it should not prevent anything from actually using the OAI interface.

Respected sir,
There are 6 changes in above links of github, so do i need to replace with file or open all file and make changes, i’m not good in coding.
kindly guide me.

many many thanks

Hi @jain034567,

This is more a question about github and patch files than a question about OJS, but there are resources on the web about this (e.g. git - Apply github commit / pull request as a patch - Stack Overflow).

jain034567 · April 17, 2019, 5:42pm

Sir,
Are there files located inside https://sjindia.org/lib/pkp folder?

classes/oai/OAI.inc.php
plugins/oaiMetadataFormats/dc/PKPOAIMetadataFormatPlugin_DC.inc.php
plugins/oaiMetadataFormats/dc/PKPOAIMetadataFormat_DC.inc.php
tests/functional/oai/FunctionalOaiBaseTestCase.inc.php
xml/oai2.xsl
xml/onixFilter.xsl

so that i can change manually because it has one another location

Thanks and Regards

jain034567 · April 17, 2019, 6:05pm

Respected @asmecher sir
There are two different paths to access these files, which one is correct?
1- / lib/pkp
2- /
Please guide me.

Thanks and regards

asmecher · April 17, 2019, 6:27pm

Hi @jain034567,

The patch is to the pkp-lib repository, which lives inside lib/pkp in your OJS installation.

@asmecher
After I updated to OJS 3.1.2 (3/4 day ago) and just now I have realized that OAI-PMH is not harvesting any of my records.
https://journal.seisense.com/index.php/jom/oai

When I run the BASE OAI-PMH validator, It is giving me the following errors:

XML Validation

ERROR: Identify response well-formed but invalid: Element ‘{https://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/}OAI-PMH’: No matching global declaration available for the validation root., line 6

ERROR: ListRecords response well-formed but invalid: Element ‘{https://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/}OAI-PMH’: No matching global declaration available for the validation root., line 6

Harvesting

UNVERIFIED: Deleting strategy could not be checked: deletedRecord element not found.

UNVERIFIED: ListRecords batch size could not be checked: Only one batch.

Looking forward for a positive and prompt reply.
Thanks

Hi @seisense,

Did you try the solution posted above?

seisense · April 24, 2019, 8:24pm

I changed the config.inc.php file with the following only
force_ssl = On and force_login_ssl = On
but it did not work.
Do you want me to apply the patch?

asmecher · April 24, 2019, 9:03pm

Hi @seisense,

Yes, the patch described above is the solution I meant.

seisense · April 24, 2019, 9:11pm

Thanks @asmecher
I dont have much skills to apply patch automatically. Yet, I have applied the patch manually to five of the six files.
The one file which I am not able to change is
tests/functional/oai/FunctionalOaiBaseTestCase.inc.php

I am not able to find this test folder at all. Screenshot is attached of lib/pkp OJS installation of mine.
Thanks

asmecher · April 24, 2019, 9:16pm

Hi @seisense,

The tests are only in the github repository and are excluded from the .tar.gz package when it is built. You should be OK to skip that one.

seisense · April 24, 2019, 9:18pm

@asmecher Great, But there is nothing changed as far as OAI-PMH is concerned. It is still not showing any records of my journal.
http://journal.seisense.com/index.php/jom/oai

The only changes are
XML Validation errors are gone now and under harvesting, first line is green as well.

asmecher · April 25, 2019, 6:25am

Hi @seisense,

Is the OAI interface enabled in distribution settings?

Hi @asmecher
Ooops, My mistake. Somehow overlooked this checkbox. I have check marked the box and now it is working.
Yet Base OAI-MPH Validator shows two fields as “unverified”.

Server communication

SUCCESS: Server supports both GET and POST requests.

SUCCESS: OAI-PMH version is 2.0

XML Validation

SUCCESS: Identify response well-formed and valid.

SUCCESS: ListRecords response well-formed and valid.

Harvesting

SUCCESS: Deleting strategy is “persistent”

UNVERIFIED: ListRecords batch size could not be checked: Only one batch.

UNVERIFIED: Resumption requests could not be checked: No resumptionToken found

SUCCESS: Incremental harvesting (day granularity) of ListRecords works.

SUCCESS: Incremental harvesting (full granularity) of ListRecords works.

SUCCESS: dc:language elements conform to ISO 639-3.

SUCCESS: dc:date elements conform to ISO 8601.

SUCCESS: Minimal DC elements (date, creator, identifier, type, title) are present.

Is this the matter of concern?
Thanks for your continued support.
