Re: [EP-tech] Problem depositing larger documents via SWORD 2.0

Hi Willem,

I’ve had a quick look at the php code.

It’s base64 encoding the file, and adding it to the EPrintsXML it generates in a <document> element.

 

The encoding (and decoding at the other end) takes some time – and is probably not the correct process for larger files.

 

This is the process that I think *should* be used in this scenario:

http://swordapp.github.io/SWORDv2-Profile/SWORDProfile.html#protocoloperations_creatingresource_multipart

but I’m not sure if the EPrintsWrapper class can do this…

 

Others on this list have more SWORD experience than me – hopefully someone will be able to provide a bit more advice.

 

Cheers,

John

Subject: [EP-tech] Problem depositing larger documents via SWORD 2.0

 

Hi all,

 

I'm currently having problems depositing larger documents (> 5 MB) via SWORD 2.0. I'm using a PHP script that uses EPrintsWrapper.php. In this script the EPrints XML (including document) is posted via cURL.

 

 

The deposit takes a very long time (8 minutes for 26 MB) and the Apache process goes to a 100% processor capacity.

 

Has anyone experienced the same behaviour before? What can I do about it?

 

We use EPrints 3.3.13.

Thanks in advance!

Sincerely,
