Download services

The Download services section displays the operational status of your published download services. You can activate and deactivate your services using the toggle button in the top left corner. After activation, you manually start the publishing process with the «Publish Services» button in the top right corner.

The Download service panel provides a list of published download services. Click on the name of the service to open it in a browser and view the data directly. Click on the icon to copy the service URL. URL (Download-Service/ATOM) provides an ATOM feed URL. This URL can best be watched with Firefox or an ATOM feed client. IE11, Chrome and Edge do not have native ATOM feed clients, though plug-ins are available.

The Metadata panel provides a list of published metadata. To copy any URL to the clipboard, click the

icon to the right of the URL.

The Validation reports panel provides a list of results for a series of tests executed on published metadata and services. Click on the download icon to download the test result directly. Green checkmarks indicate that the ETF report is valid. Red X's indicate errors or a test that did not execute. Users can choose re-run the ETF tests for all resources listed by clicking the «Run all tests» button. Alternatively, users can re-run a single test by clicking the circular arrow icon next to the download icon. The yellow warning icon appears for resources with conformance classes that require manual checks.

A set of default conformance classes are executed on dataset metadata, download and view service metadata, and services, and can be configured in the theme. Tests check for INSPIRE compliancy. The number and type of tests executed on your metadata and services reflect your compliancy requirements. Visit Configure validation for more information. Direct download WFS service testing is not currently supported.
