Dear Egbert,

Thank you for your quick response. Please find the requested files attached.
There are two things that are "under suspicion":
1) the abstract field (v371) was intented NOT to be repeatable. But to be able to import in ABCD we redefined the field to "repeatable". (the reason is that in WinIsis the "%" was defined as repeatable field separator - peopele did input the "%" sign in the abstracts though)
2) Possibly the field v80 (authors) may have multiple ^b field in one occurrence.

Thank you for your assistance in advance,

Peter and Simon (INSTI)

Peter,

the only suggestion I can do with this information, since a lot seems to go wrong while there is not really a consistent factor to base a judgement on, is : send me a (sub-)set of the data concerned and let me check if I can see something weird myself. I would need the FDT, FST and some (or many...) records in ISO-format.
Most probably you are not doing anything wrong, but two can see more than one...

Dear all,

We figured out that:
1) the error message as cited in the previous mail  ("The result was a more than three-fold increase in FP")  is not the ABCD message. Apparantly it is part of one of the records. Importing other records of the database gives the error message "WXIS|execution error|import|6-53.84, respectively. The percentage ADF; NDF and hemicellu|"
2) there was a problem with a record. If I export from winisis and import in ABCD record 1-645 en 650 -9999 we get a different error (the one in the line above). There are many more records resulting in errors.
3) the same errors occur in ABCD 1.05 and in 1.2beta; so it does not seem to be a version problem
4) I did do Ernesto's "tomography"  and corrected all the potential problems
5) I did uncheck .fdt in ABCD: it is "valid"
6) I did uncheck the "inverted file generation" when importing. I am sure it is no time out problem

I could go on and export record by record to go from every record to the next, but i'm sure there is  a smarter solution for checking. Anyone having any suggestions?

Kind regards,

Peter

Did you use the option to index the newly incoming records on-the-fly ? If so I would suggest to switch this option 'Inverted File generartion' off and first test and perform the indexing separately afterwards, to keep the importing process clean from anything related to indexing.
I don't know however exactly the given WXIS-error, I am just guessing it comes from the indexing.
Could you perhaps also explain your statement :
"I am pretty sure this happens if I import the second batch and the total number of imported records is 649."
again ?
Do you mean the second batch of 500 records ends prematurely at MFN 649 ? Is that when the error pops up ?

I hope someone from BIREME where knowledge about the internals of WXIS (and its error messages) is available, reads this and picks it up..

Dear all,

I was using ABCD version 1.2beta for a Ghanaian Institute. I want to convert data from an existing WinIsis installation.

I have created a new database in ABCD which went OK. the database is there. Now I want to import the data.

I have done the export from WinIsis to an .iso file. To prevent time outs i have exported only 500 records. When importing I get an wxis error message saying: "The result was a more than three-fold increase in FP".
I am pretty sure this happens if I import the second batch and the total number of imported records is 649.

What could be the problem?

Kind regards,
