Description

I got the attached error message while I was importing Supportive care "Naausea and Vomiting" file. I have imported 2627 citations today. I tried to log off and tried again to import, but got the same error.

Any chance you could post the file you were trying to import?

I tried to import this morning and I am able to import files now.

Yes, I was trying to investigate the problem, and was surprised to see the articles all of a sudden show up in a successfully imported batch. As far as I can determine, NLM's servers were in an unhealthy state at the point when the EBMS asked for the article records yesterday, and didn't send any back. Hence the "Nothing to store" error message you got. Not sure that we're in a position to make NLM's servers more reliable.

It turns out that this bug and OCEEBMS-119 though, apparently separate,
have the same underlying cause and raise the same Exception message.
The fix for both is the same.

In both cases the cause is a download request to NLM that retrieves 0
articles. The reason for the retrieval of 0 articles is different in
the two cases. In OCEEBMS-119 it is caused by requesting a single
article that doesn't exist. In this case it was probably something
else, perhaps a transient problem at NLM.

We can't reproduce what happened in this bug report on demand, but we
can for the other. I therefore plan to mark this as a duplicate of 119,
solve that one and, if I'm right about the cause, this one will be
solved also.

Work for this will be performed under OCEEBMS-119.
