<p class="MsoNormal">Hi folks,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Now that we’re finally “in” and operating 1.4.2 with the container management plugin we’re trying to go back and do some desired data cleanup.<span style="">
</span>Currently up on the docket is replacing some “fake” <span class="SpellE">aspace</span> barcodes generated with the
<a href="https://github.com/archivesspace/barcoder"><span class="SpellE">barcoder</span></a> plugin during our migration workflow with “real” barcodes we have stored in a database outside of AS.<span style="">
</span>Step 1 of the workflow we’ve sketched out is to GET the JSON for all <span class="SpellE">
top_containers</span> in our repository through the API.<span style=""> </span>(This then goes into a resolving database and matches, based on resource ID, to the
<span class="SpellE">top_containers</span> that should have their “fake” barcodes replaced with “real” ones.)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, we’re having a heck of a time getting this JSON and are encountering endless timeouts no matter how small a
<span class="SpellE">page_size</span> we set.<span style=""> </span>By contrast, we can easily issue a GET and return over 2,000 resources without timing out, but to get even 100
<span class="SpellE">top_containers</span> often fails.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any advice?<span style=""> </span>Are we falling victim to attempting this while still using the plugin rather than 1.5?<span style="">
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Happy early 4<sup>th</sup> to those of you that are stateside.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
