Re: [EP-tech] Lift_embargo error

Hi Maher,

I have not seen this issue with lift_embargos script for the numerous EPrints 3.4.x repositories I maintained, which includes a fair few 3.4.1 repositories.  It looks as though the embargo is lifted, it is just the error message is concerning and makes it difficult to see which eprints have had embargoes lifted on them. 

The date_embargo field should only store a date and not a time so there should be no reason for why the seconds have been checked.  The only thing I can think of is that when date_embargo got created it somehow got created as a time (including date) rather than a date field.  You can check this by getting a mysql command prompt for your eprints database and typing in:

describe document;

if there is any date_embargo... fields other than year month and day, then that may explain your issue.  However, I feel that is unlikely and it would have mean someone had edited /perl_lib/EPrints/DataObj/Document.pm or added their own cfg.d/document_fields.pl and set the embargo_date field as a time rather than a date.  So if this is not the case, then let me know and I will take a closer look. 

What is puzzling is that lines 117 and 118 in /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Time/Local.pm check the hour and minute are set.  If seconds is unset I would expect those to be unset as well.  The problem is the error message is a core Perl library, so it is likely to be something above this in EPrints that is sending a set of values missing the second value to the timegm method.  As seconds is the first parameter for this method it is difficult to see how this could be happening.  It might ne necessary to temporarily add some debug code to Time/Local.pm that can produce a stacktrace when there is an error like that reported on line 119.

Hi

 

We are running eprints  version (3.4.1) and are receiving the following errors continuously when running the lift_embargo command:

Any idea how to fix this issue?
