Earthdata Forum

I am using the L2 Browse ordering tool and I am getting this message
"The state information about your browse session has expired from our system. You will need to re-enter your search criteria if you wish to continue browsing. "
I have tried reentering a few times. I get cut off too early to place my order.  I am confused about what I did to get this message.

The link I am on is https://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi/browse.pl?sub=level1or2list&per=MO&day=18353&prm=CHL&set=10&mon=18353&sen=amod@tmod@vrsn@vrj1&rad=0&frc=0&n=54&s=44&w=-24.2&e=-8.8&id=1590604805.1363&cn=54.99&cs=42.43&cw=-26.55&ce=-7.56&dnm=D&ndx=149&tog=1

maybe related - I recently removed cookies from  OC and  urs.earthdata.nasa.gov.   I was having issues with the earthdata authentication and they recommended I remove the cookies.

Thanks

Can you try the order again.

Thanks for the reply.  Same  expired state issue.    I used a slightly different query, the month of may, instead of apr.

I have tired this on firefox and chrome. 

I get realtime subscription images, when they look promising coveragewise, I order the L2s.  Because of earthdata authentication issues I fell behind.  Now this.

Erik,
Are you manually searching using the L1/2 browser, or are you attempting to reuse the URL that contains a previous search?

Sean

Hi Sean.  Thanks for the reply. I recall trying both.  I will start from scratch to ensure a clean slate.

Note I am not using the url at a template.  It fails, sometimes reloading works or I would paste the url into a different browser application (I was trying different things).  I just used the URL because it stored the search parameters.

OK, just so you know, the id field (e.g id=1590672421.4999) should not be used in subsequent queries.  It's used as a key to what amounts to a "server side cookie".  subsequent sessions may land on a different backend server and not have access to this "cookie" which will result in the error you are experiencing.

Sean

Thanks.  I will submit an order soon and hopefully won't get an expired  message.  Thanks for letting me know about the id field.

Working like a charm again.  I submitted two orders without any troubles.  Sorry.

Sean et al,
  I got the expired browse state after a query from scratch, no recycled URL.  Worked fine for a day or so.     Got any other scenarios that would pop the expired state message?  I am not doing any thing new here-  queries and ordering that I have done for years.   No one else getting this message, I am the problem user?

So far you are the only one to report the problem....doesn't mean it's unique to you, though....or does it...:wink:

Can you provide your IP and the time of the issue?
