GPT - Error: Name not legal - Master cannot contain the character " "

Microwave Toolbox Interferometry

Hi all,
I encounter a problem in the GPT. I want to coregister two Sentinel-1 TOPS datasets and the following massage is displayed:

Error: The name “Master: 07Nov2017” is not legal for JDOM/XML elements: XML name ‘Master: 07Nov2017’ cannot contain the character " ".

Thank you for your help and best regards,
Tobias

Change the name to one that does not contain illegal characters?

#3

hi mengdahl,
thanks for your reply, the string/name “Master: 07Nov2017” is defined by the system. I am not able to modify this.

#4

Then it’s a bug, what is your operating-system?

#5

I am running newest version of SNAP (6.0.2) on Windows 10 Enterprise, 64 Bit, 32 GB RAM

#6

I encounter the same error when doing Range-Doppler Terrain Correction. Using the desktop application of SNAP works fine, but GPT complains about:

Error: The name “Master: 29Sep2018” is not legal for JDOM/XML elements: XML name ‘Master: 29Sep2018’ cannot contain the character " ".

Operating system is Ubuntu 16.04.

#7

Really strange error. But maybe my solution is of help to somebody. I was calling GPT from a script that also sets a new LD_LIBRARY_PATH. After not overwriting the old LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but simply adding paths to it, the error goes away. At first glance nothing in LD_LIBRARY_PATH seems to be in any way related to SNAP or GPT.

#8

In my case what helped me (ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS) was to change the gpt graph output format from <formatName>GeoTIFF+XML</formatName> to <formatName>GeoTIFF</formatName>
