Add Attributes to imported remote dataset

[Caio Fonteles]

Hi,

I am trying to add a new attribute to a dataset that I am importing from another erddap (also from my institution).

I am able to import all the datasets if I don't add anything besides sourceUrl. However, if I try to add new attributes the code crashs because there is no content in "addAttributes" tag which has.

here is a snnipet of my datasets.xml:

dataset type="EDDTableFromErddap" datasetID="RS_AR_Parana_Corrientes" active="true">

    <!-- RS_AR_Parana_Corrientes -->

    <sourceUrl>http://erddap.colabatlantic.com/erddap/tabledap/RS_AR_Parana_Corrientes</sourceUrl>

  </dataset>

  <dataset type="EDDTableFromErddap" datasetID="RS_AR_SantaFe_SantaFe" active="true">

    <!-- RS_AR_SantaFe_SantaFe -->

    <sourceUrl>http://erddap.colabatlantic.com/erddap/tabledap/RS_AR_SantaFe_SantaFe</sourceUrl>

    <addAttributes>

      <att name="project">EMODNET</att>

    </addAttributes>  

  </dataset>

  <dataset type="EDDTableFromErddap" datasetID="RS_AR_Uruguay_Concordia" active="true">

    <!-- RS_AR_Uruguay_Concordia -->

    <sourceUrl>http://erddap.colabatlantic.com/erddap/tabledap/RS_AR_Uruguay_Concordia</sourceUrl>

  </dataset>

The code works until RS_AR_Parana_Corrientes and none of the follow datasets are imported to erddap.

do you know what can be causing this issue?

Thanks in advance!

Hi!

From the documentation (https://erddap.github.io/setupDatasetsXml.html#EDDFromErddapNoAddAttributes) you cannot add "<addAttributes>" section to the dataset:

No <addAttributes>, <axisVariable>, or <dataVariable> - Unlike other types of datasets, EDDTableFromErddap and EDDGridFromErddap datasets don't allow global <addAttributes>, <axisVariable>, or <dataVariable> sections in the datasets.xml for that dataset

Kind regards

Marco
