Thank you very much, I wish I had the python option but we are a heavy php shop with some perl so I kinda have to figure it out with PHP but the Fedora REST API option might be a way around that since we already have fedora so it isn't something I have to get installed by the sys admin :)
Thank you! /Minnie -----Original Message----- From: Koeser, Rebecca Sutton [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, August 03, 2012 3:39 PM To: Support and info exchange list for Fedora users. Subject: Re: [fcrepo-user] Errors using findObjects with Soap API-A Hi, Minnie. If you're willing to try Python instead of PHP, you should be able to accomplish what you're trying to do pretty easily with eulfedora (a Python module we created at Emory University Libraries for interacting with Fedora - https://github.com/emory-libraries/eulfedora ). If you've already got Python installed, you can use pip or easy_install to get the latest version (`easy_install eulfedora` or possibly `sudo easy_install eulfedora`). The current version has been tested with Fedora 3.4.x and 3.5; it looks like the REST APIs have changed much in 3.6, so it should work there too. We've actually got an example in our documentation that I think might be fairly similar to what it sounds like you're trying to do: http://eulfedora.readthedocs.org/en/latest/tutorials/examples.html#bulk-pur ging-test-objects-via-console Your find and purge script might look something roughly like this: from eulfedora.server import Repository repo = Repository('http://your.fedora.server:8080/fedora/', username='fedora_user', password='fedora_password') for obj in repo.find_objects(label__contains='test*'): repo.purge_object(obj.pid) If you can't or don't want to use Python, you might want to consider using Fedora's REST APIs instead of SOAP; the last time I worked with PHP + SOAP there were non-obvious bugs in PHP that made things a lot more difficult (e.g., incorrect encoding of null values).
