Removing image mosaic granules

Remove all the granules originating from a particular file

Request

curl

curl -v -u admin:geoserver -XDELETE "http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/workspaces/topp/coveragestores/polyphemus-v1/coverages/NO2/index/granules.xml?filter=location='polyphemus_20130301.nc'"

Response

200 OK

Uploading an empty mosaic

Upload an archive with the definition of an mosaic, but with no granules

Given a empty.zip file containing:

  • datastore.properties (PostGIS connection parameters)

  • indexer.xml (Mosaic indexer; note the CanBeEmpty=true parameter)

  • polyphemus-test.xml (Auxiliary file used by the NetCDF reader to parse schemas and tables)

Warning

Make sure to update the datastore.properties file with your connection parameters and refresh the ZIP before uploading it.

Request

curl

curl -u admin:geoserver -XPUT -H "Content-type:application/zip" --data-binary @empty.zip
   http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/workspaces/topp/coveragestores/empty/file.imagemosaic?configure=none

Note

The configure=none parameter allows for future configuration after harvesting.

Response

200 OK

Configure a coverage on the mosaic

Given a coverageconfig.xml:

<coverage>
  <nativeCoverageName>NO2</nativeCoverageName>
  <name>NO2</name>
</coverage>

Request

curl

curl -v -u admin:geoserver -XPOST -H "Content-type: text/xml" -d @"/path/to/coverageconfig.xml" "http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/workspaces/topp/coveragestores/empty/coverages"

Note

When specifying only the coverage name, the coverage will be automatically configured.
