Configuration

You first have to go to Admin -> Settings -> Publication and enable the Metadata push mechanism to activate this feature, configuring the following fields:

  • Push server end-point: GeoNetwork end-points to connect to the remote server to push the metadata.

  • Your push server username and Your push server password: credentials to connect to the remote server.

  • Open licenses is a list of open licenses separated by the char |, used to identify the metadata to push.

  • Import xslt is the name of the XSLT style sheet (without the .xsl extension) that the remote server will apply to the metadata on import. It can be empty if no transformation is required. The the transformation must exist in xsl/conversion/import folder inside the WAR.

  • Supported metadata schemas is a list of metadata schema identifiers separated by the char | that are supported.
