## 2024-01-02

- Work on preparation of new server for DSpace 7 migration
  - I'm not quite sure what we need to do for the Handle server
  - For now I just ran the `dspace make-handle-config` script and diffed it with the one from DSpace 6
  - I sent the bundle to the Handle admins to make sure it's OK before we do the migration
- Continue testing and debugging the cgspace-java-helpers on DSpace 7
- Work on IFPRI ISNAR archive cleanup

<!--more-->

## 2024-01-03

- I haven't heard from the Handle admins so I'm preparing a backup solution using nginx streams
- This seems to work in my simple tests (this must be outside the `http {}` block):

```
stream {
    upstream handle_tcp_9000 {
       server 188.34.177.10:9000;
    }

    server {
        listen 9000;
        proxy_connect_timeout 1s;
        proxy_timeout 3s;
        proxy_pass handle_tcp_9000;
    }
}
```

- Here I forwarded a test TCP port 9000 from one server to another and was able to retrieve a test HTML that was running on the target
  - I will have to do TCP and UDP on port 2641, and TCP/HTTP on port 8000.
- I did some more minor work on the IFPRI ISNAR archive
  - I got some PDFs from the UMN AgEcon search and fixed some metadata
  - Then I did some duplicate checking and found five items already on CGSpace

## 2024-01-04

- Upload 692 items for the ISNAR archive to CGSpace: https://cgspace.cgiar.org/handle/10568/136192
- Help Peter proof and upload 252 items from the 2023 Gender conference to CGSpace
- Meeting with IFPRI to discuss their migration to CGSpace
  - We agreed to add two new fields, one for IFPRI project and one for IFPRI publication ranking
  - Most likely we will use `cg.identifier.project` as a general field and consolidate other project fields there
  - Not sure which field to use for the publication rank...

## 2024-01-05

- Proof and upload 51 items in bulk for IFPRI
- I did a big cleanup of user groups in anticipation of complaints about slow workflow tasks etc in DSpace 7
  - I removed ILRI editors from all the dozens of CCAFS community and collection groups, and I should do the same for other CRPs since they are closed for two years now

## 2024-01-06

- Migrate CGSpace to DSpace 7

## 2024-01-07

- High load on the server and UptimeRobot saying the frontend is flapping
  - I noticed tons of logs from pm2 in the systemd journal, so I disabled those in the systemd unit because they are available from pm2's log directory anyway
  - I also noticed the same for Solr, so I disabled stdout for that systemd unit as well
- I spent a lot of time bringing back the nginx rate limits we used in DSpace 6 and it seems to have helped
- I see some client doing weird HEAD requests to search pages:

```
47.76.35.19 - - [07/Jan/2024:00:00:02 +0100] "HEAD /search/?f.accessRights=Open+Access%2Cequals&f.actionArea=Resilient+Agrifood+Systems%2Cequals&f.author=Burkart%2C+Stefan%2Cequals&f.country=Kenya%2Cequals&f.impactArea=Climate+adaptation+and+mitigation%2Cequals&f.itemtype=Brief%2Cequals&f.publisher=CGIAR+System+Organization%2Cequals&f.region=Asia%2Cequals&f.sdg=SDG+12+-+Responsible+consumption+and+production%2Cequals&f.sponsorship=CGIAR+Trust+Fund%2Cequals&f.subject=environmental+factors%2Cequals&spc.page=1 HTTP/1.1" 499 0 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/74.0.2504.63 Safari/537.36"
```

- I will add their network blocks (AS45102) and regenerate my list of bot networks:

```console
$ wget https://asn.ipinfo.app/api/text/list/AS16276 \
     https://asn.ipinfo.app/api/text/list/AS23576 \
     https://asn.ipinfo.app/api/text/list/AS24940 \
     https://asn.ipinfo.app/api/text/list/AS13238 \
     https://asn.ipinfo.app/api/text/list/AS14061 \
     https://asn.ipinfo.app/api/text/list/AS12876 \
     https://asn.ipinfo.app/api/text/list/AS55286 \

     https://asn.ipinfo.app/api/text/list/AS45102 \
     https://asn.ipinfo.app/api/text/list/AS21859
$ cat AS* | sort | uniq | wc -l
4897
$ cat AS* | ~/go/bin/mapcidr -a > /tmp/networks.txt
$ wc -l /tmp/networks.txt
2017 /tmp/networks.txt
```

- I'm surprised to see the number of networks reduced from my current ones... hmmm.
- I will also update my list of Bing networks:

```console
$ ./ilri/bing-networks-to-ips.sh
$ ~/go/bin/mapcidr -a < /tmp/bing-ips.txt > /tmp/bing-networks.txt
$ wc -l /tmp/bing-networks.txt
250 /tmp/bing-networks.txt
```

## 2024-01-08

- Export list of publishers for Peter to select some amount to use as a controlled vocabulary:

```console
localhost/dspace7= ☘ \COPY (SELECT DISTINCT text_value AS "dcterms.publisher", count(*) FROM metadatavalue WHERE dspace_object_id in (SELECT dspace_object_id FROM item) AND metadata_field_id = 178 GROUP BY "dcterms.publisher" ORDER BY count DESC) to /tmp/2024-01-publishers.csv WITH CSV HEADER;
COPY 4332
```

- Address some feedback on DSpace 7 from users, including fileing some issues on GitHub
  - https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/issues/2730: List of available metadata fields is truncated when adding new metadata in "Edit Item"
- The Alliance TIP team was having issues posting to one collection via the legacy DSpace 6 REST API
  - In the DSpace logs I see the same issue that they had last month:

```
ERROR unknown unknown org.dspace.rest.Resource @ Something get wrong. Aborting context in finally statement.
```

## 2024-01-09

- I restarted Tomcat to see if it helps the REST issue
- After talking with Peter about publishers we decided to get a clean list of the top ~100 publishers and then make sure all CGIAR centers, Initiatives, and Impact Platforms are there as well
  - I exported a list from PostgreSQL and then filtered by count > 40 in OpenRefine and then extracted the metadata values:

```
$ csvcut -c dcterms.publisher ~/Downloads/2024-01-09-publishers4.csv | sed -e 1d -e 's/"//g' > /tmp/top-publishers.txt
```

- Export a list of ORCID identifiers from PostgreSQL to look them up on ORCID and update our controlled vocabulary:

```console
localhost/dspace7= ☘ \COPY (SELECT DISTINCT(text_value) FROM metadatavalue WHERE dspace_object_id IN (SELECT uuid FROM item) AND metadata_field_id=247) to /tmp/2024-01-09-orcid-identifiers.txt;
localhost/dspace7= ☘ \q
$ cat ~/src/git/DSpace/dspace/config/controlled-vocabularies/cg-creator-identifier.xml /tmp/2024-01-09-orcid-identifiers.txt | grep -oE '[A-Z0-9]{4}-[A-Z0-9]{4}-[A-Z0-9]{4}-[A-Z0-9]{4}' | sort -u > /tmp/2024-01-09-orcids.txt
$ ./ilri/resolve_orcids.py -i /tmp/2024-01-09-orcids.txt -o /tmp/2024-01-09-orcids-names.txt -d
```

- Then I updated existing ORCID identifiers in CGSpace:

```
$ ./ilri/update_orcids.py -i /tmp/2024-01-09-orcids-names.txt -db dspace -u dspace -p bahhhh
```

- Bizu seems to be having issues due to belonging to too many groups
  - I see some messages from Solr in the DSpace log:

```

```

- There are 1,805 OR clauses in the full log!
  - We previous had this issue in 2020-01 and 2020-02 with DSpace 5 and DSpace 6
  - At the time the solution was to increase the `maxBooleanClauses` in Solr and to disable access rights awareness, but I don't think we want to do the second one now
  - I saw many users of Solr in other applications increasing this to obscenely high numbers, so I think we should be OK to increase it from 1024 to 2048
- Re-visiting the DSpace user groomer to delete inactive users
  - In 2023-08 I noticed that this was now [possible in DSpace 7](https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/2928)
  - As a test I tried to delete all users who have been inactive since six years ago (Janury 9, 2018):

```console
$ dspace dsrun org.dspace.eperson.Groomer -a -b 01/09/2018 -d
```

- I tested it on DSpace 7 Test and it worked... I am debating running it on CGSpace...
  - I see we have almost 9,000 users:

```console
$ dspace user -L > /tmp/users-before.txt
$ wc -l /tmp/users-before.txt
8943 /tmp/users-before.txt
```

- I decided to do the same on CGSpace and it worked without errors
- I finished working on the controlled vocabulary for publishers

## 2024-01-10

- I spent some time deleting old groups on CGSpace
- I looked into the use of the `cg.identifier.ciatproject` field and found there are only a handful of uses, with some even seeming to be a mistake:

```console
localhost/dspace7= ☘ SELECT DISTINCT text_value AS "cg.identifier.ciatproject", count(*) FROM metadatavalue WHERE dspace_object_id in (SELECT dspace_object_id FROM item) AND metadata
_field_id = 232 GROUP BY "cg.identifier.ciatproject" ORDER BY count DESC;
 cg.identifier.ciatproject │ count

```

- I think we can move those to a new `cg.identifier.project` if we create one
- The `cg.identifier.cpwfproject` field is similarly sparse, but the CCAFS ones are widely used
