OAI problem: "Can't overwrite cause"

[George Kozak]

I have been getting a lot of complains that people cannot get full List of records from my DSpace repository (https://ecommons.cornell.edu) using OAI.

I am running DSpace 5.2 XMLUI (Mirage2).

I decided to do a clean index and ran:

<dspace>/bin/dspace oai -c

It ran for 9400 items and then I got the following error:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Can't overwrite cause with java.io.IOException: Invalid white space character (0x19) in text to output at java.lang.Throwable.initCause(Throwable.java:456)

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can proceed.  Around 9,000 items is all that anyone can get from my repository, so I am assuming that import failure is what is causing my problem.

Any help will be appreciated.

If I understand correctly that message means that an error was thrown but the exact nature of the error has been obscured by non-printable unicode characters in the original error message.

I'm going to take a punt and suggest that some metadata in your repository contains unprintable unicode characters.

cheers

Stuart:

That makes sense, but I have 34,000 records in my repository.  Any ideas on how to find the bad record? :-(

Try adding the -v  (verbose) flag to your command – it should show you the items it’s operating on. Presumably the last item before the error message will be the one with the problem.
