Hey Darcy, In my experience, when the service layer fails, or when I think it fails, I do a couple of things: First, I check the latest localhost_access log (located within the logs directory of the Tomcat server) to view the response code of any service layer calls (cspace-services/....). If the response code anything other than 200, I know I have a problem. Second, I use the shutdown and startup scripts in the Tomcat server's /bin directory. Shutting down the server, waiting a few minutes, and then starting it up again usually takes care of the issue. If not... Third, I will rebuild and redeploy all of the layers, in the order it is mentioned here: https://wiki.collectionspace.org/display/DOC/Installing+on+Ubuntu+14.04. Fourth, I do it all over again, opening up the localhost_access log and watching the various API calls to both the application layer and services layer. In general, the localhost_access log is a great tool for troubleshooting and understanding everything from simple to complex API calls. Hope this helps, Yousuf On Sun, Nov 27, 2016 at 10:53 PM, <talk-request@lists.collectionspace.org> wrote: > Send Talk mailing list submissions to > talk@lists.collectionspace.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://lists.collectionspace.org/mailman/listinfo/talk_ > lists.collectionspace.org > > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > talk-request@lists.collectionspace.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > talk-owner@lists.collectionspace.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Talk digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
