To start the system under IIS you must:

1) Install WEBAGRIS with our installation procedure

2) Define under IIS the directory WEBAGRIS as a virtual WEB directory.

3) Define the cgi-bin directory (under file explorer) as the virtual cgi-bin directory, with rights to execute scripts and programs (for more information see the Word document).

4) Test the system from the Web Server and/or connected clients

You can create your own search strategy to do this. Here are some tips to help: If you want to export to the central AGRIS database, we advise doing it through the search interface.



a.   Click on the Advanced button

b.   Select only records with status C - Completed

c.   Select from the date entered the month and year for the range of records you want to export or use the TRN search by typing begining common part for the range of TRNs and put dollar sign as a mask, for example: CU200400001$ will extract you all TRN ending from 100 to 199,or click on List at the TRN row to select the specific TRNs that you want to export



1. Click on Search

2. Check the "Selected for Export" box then click "Export"

3. Select the format for export that can be tag/text, ISO2709 or XML as export type and click "Export"

4. At this point you should have the Save as/Open dialog box that will allow you to save the records to a batch



In data entry module you can also export range of MFN if the required records are in MFN order and export them in desired format

As mentioned earlier, the folder WWWISIS contains a link to the authorization file. The file defines two user groups, namely admuser and admval. The first group of users is authorized to enter/modify bibliographic records. The second group is authorized the authority re-cords, such as Corporate names, Serial Titles, Conference Names. The original file defines two users:

. dba with the password dba: This user is authorized to enter, modify and delete all types of records.

. user with the password user: this user is authorized to enter, modify and delete the bibliographic records only

It is recommended to change the password of the defined users. In addition, depending on the needs one can define other users, assigning them User Id and passwords. If for organizational matters it is desirable that some of the users are restricted in entering the authority records, one can define the user privileges based on the user specification. If all of the users should have all privileges we use the specification dba for creating new users, just by copying the text

...

<isis_user> name = dba; password = dba; groups = admusr, admval; </isis_user>

and changing the name and password.



If you want to add a name and password, just add the tag above, replacing the values "dba" with your name and password. For ex., if you had Agris1 as user and "welcome" as password, you should add a tag after the above, writing: <isis_user> name = Agris1; password = welcome; groups = admusr; </isis_user> This will define a user called agris1 (note that this is case sensitive) with a password "password" with the same rights as the dba user, that is "create", "modify" and "delete".

Otherwise WebAGRIS generally works with Latin-1 ie ISO-8859-1 character set. It supports diacritics for languages such as French, Spanish, Catalan, Galician, Basque, Portuguese, Italian, Albanian, Afrikaans, Dutch, German, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Faroese, Icelandic, Irish, Scottish, English.

Texts written in other languages, abstracts, titles, names should use common methods of transliteration to Latin-1. Especially should be avoided direct copying and pasting of texts with non-Latin-1 national diacritics, since they cannot be registered as a valid Agris input.

Experience was gained with inputting and displaying data in other languages Arabic, Chinese etc.

This data can be shown on display (after changing code pages in the interface), but the search is still limited to and ASCII tables of 256 characters.

Support for Unicode is not yet available.

WEBAGRIS is a tool for distributed data input, processing and dissemination of agricultural bibliographic information. This tool is used for preparing input for the central AGRIS database. It conforms to the AGRIS Application Profile by using a specific XML format in the export function of the system.

“This server is currently overloaded – please try again later

Error code: - 102 data base access denied (probably write lock)”.

A:The problem is with the WORK database. To keep the system from blocking it is recommended that the WORK database be cleaned from time to time.

The best way to clean it is to replace 8 of the 12 files which are contained in the directory C:\Xitami\webpages\DB\agris\Work with the 8 files contained in the zipped file Work.Zip, included in the same directory.

The following procedure is recommended:

Open the Work.zip file, and extract the 8 files contained there into the WORK folder (C:\Xitami\webpages\DB\AGRIS\Work, unless you changed the destination drive during installation).

If you don’t have empty work database zipped, you could go to DOS/ISIS and Re-initialize the database WORK.

Change the name of your database to “work” . Select option D-database definition and then to I- Initialize database. Be sure that you are in work database. (It is advisable to take backup of your “agris” database before this operation expecialy if you do it for the first time).

Note that the WORK database is NOT the database containing your AGRIS records; it is a database within the system used for storing session details, therefore you don't have to worry about losing your AGRIS records.

Also note that it is advisable to delete the Internet Temporary files from time to time, since some of these files may interfere with the system.

In the event that you cannot find the solution to your problem in these FAQ or the suggested procedures do not solve the problem, you can extract a “log file” from the system, which can then be sent to the software developer (and FAO) in order to identify the reason for this error.

The procedure to extract the log file is as follows:

1. Identify the file isis3w.exe.cfg in the directory C:\Xitami\cgi-bin

2. Identify the line containing DebugLevel 0

3. Change DebugLevel 0 to DebugLevel 20000 and save the file isis3w.exe.cfg

4. Return to the application, sign on and after receiving the “Error” exit from the system

5. Return to the file isis3w.exe.cfg and change again DebugLevel 20000 to DebugLevel 0 and save the file

6. Identify the file debuglog and send it to the software developer (and FAO)

7. For example the debuglog could be located in C:\Xitami\webpages\debuglog.txt

Check that the environment variable BAP with the value: OS23470a exists. This variable is automatically created during the installation of WEBAGRIS. If the installation did not finish successfully, the variable may not exist so you have to add it.
