[LTER-im] Removing from PASTA?

[Linda A Powell]

Hi Jonathan,


A short while ago the entire IM community with the exception of Suzanne (via doodle poll) wanted to have all the old metacat (PASTA) records (that we thought were deleted) removed from being seen in DataOne.  Suzanne agreed with this practice but can't have her files deleted yet as they are still transferring files into PASTA.  Mark was going to write a script for DataOne that would hide/remove these old files from the DataOne users and I don't know where he is in the process but hopefully it will be finished soon.


I've not deleted a file in PASTA yet so I don't know how well the process works.  I suspect that the old, removed, files might not show up in PASTA but may be pushed to DataOne.  Hopefully Mark can speak to this.


Best,


Linda

Subject: [LTER-im] Removing from PASTA?

I think this topic has come up in the past but I do not recall the outcome and if so I apologize for that.

How can I remove records from PASTA?  I have a whole bunch of stream temperature files that I would like to combine.  Then I would like to remove the old ones.

The reason for this is when one browses BES on PASTA one sees mostly stream temperature files and it's confusing.

Thank you
