[Archivesspace_Users_Group] error saving an Archival Object

[Noah Huffman]

Robin,

Here's an unresolved JIRA issue describing this problem: https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/AR-1326

It tends to happen when you try to edit an archival object record that has been transferred from another resource record.

As far as I know, there are a couple of fixes for this:

1.       Resequence your entire ASpace database.  To do this, shut down ASpace, modify config.rb (#AppConfig[:resequence_on_startup] = True), and restart.  Beware that resequencing a large database will take a long time, but this should prevent the same error from occurring in other records.

2.       Install this plugin that allows you to resequence only the resource record where the error occurs: https://github.com/archivesspace/resync

Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] error saving an Archival Object

Hello, ASpacers,
         When saving the archival object below, changed only by adding a single space preceding "Tours" in the title, we get the following error message:

[cid:image001.png at 01D27D70.E6CB7BB0]

The same error usually occurs if we try to change other archival object records attached to this resource record, but not always. One I was able to change, but received the error when I tried to change it back. Another I could change and change back without encountering the error. The resource record itself can be changed.  Any ideas about why this is happening and what we can do to clear it up?

Thanks for your thoughts,
Robin
