Phil,
Is the "DiGIR implementation that you want to move away from" just a DiGIR service? Or is it something else?
I would only keep a parallel DiGIR service if there are older clients that can only talk to it and for some reason (time/resources) can't be updated. I'm not sure if this is your case.
Also, when you said that you want to "test your implementation", did you mean that you want to test a TAPIR service, or is it some other application based on TAPIR? If you just want to test a TAPIR service, you could simply run TapirTester on it instead of developing your own harvester:
Thanks Renato, this does help. For now I need to get DiGIR back up so current users can hit it, I think I'm at that point now, but I want to be able to hit it like the users do. What would I do? Just a simple query within the web client window? I assume that does the same thing...still new to this.
As for Tapir, I have it setup and am mapping fields now, will hit the tester soon.
Thanks
Phil
Hope this helps,
Renato

Just starting with Tapir/DiGIR - I have 2 questions:
- I would like to know if the Tapir protocol is the preferred method
over DiGIR. We have a DiGIR implementation that we want to move away from, and bring up a Tapir one in its place. Is this normal, or do organizations run both to facilitate their older clients to do harvesting?
- What is a method to harvest data from Tapir, and/or DiGIR -we want
to do this internally to test our implementation before we open up
to
the world, how can I do this (we run Windows and Linux as clients)
Thank you
Phil
