Look at Bioversity’s latest migration CSV and now I see that Francesco has cleaned up the extra columns and the newline at the end of the file, but many of the column headers have an extra space in the name…

Deploy ORCID identifier updates requested by Bioversity to CGSpace
Run system updates on CGSpace (linode18) and reboot it
Before updating it I checked Solr and verified that all statistics cores were loaded properly…
After rebooting, all statistics cores were loaded… wow, that’s lucky.
Run system updates on DSpace Test (linode19) and reboot it

<li>There are about thirty PDFs that have French or Spanish filenames and there seems to be an encoding issue</li>
<li>I asked Francesco if he can give me a PDF URL column instead of a “filename” column so I can download the files myself</li>
<li><p>At <em>least</em> the ~50 filenames identified by the following GREL will have issues:</p>
<pre><code>or(
isNotNull(value.match(/^.*’.*$/)),
isNotNull(value.match(/^.*é.*$/)),
isNotNull(value.match(/^.*á.*$/)),
isNotNull(value.match(/^.*è.*$/)),
isNotNull(value.match(/^.*í.*$/)),
isNotNull(value.match(/^.*ó.*$/)),
isNotNull(value.match(/^.*ú.*$/)),
isNotNull(value.match(/^.*à.*$/)),
isNotNull(value.match(/^.*û.*$/))
).toString()
</code></pre></li>
</ul></li>
<li><p>I tried to extract the filenames and construct a URL to download the PDFs with my <code>generate-thumbnails.py</code> script, but there seem to be several paths for PDFs so I can’t guess it properly</p></li>
<li><p>I will have to wait for Francesco to respond about the PDFs, or perhaps proceed with a metadata-only upload so we can do other checks on DSpace Test</p></li>
<li>Daniel Haile-Michael asked about using a logical OR with the DSpace OpenSearch, but I looked in the DSpace manual and it does not seem to be possible</li>

<li><p>Moayad noticed that the HTTPS certificate expired on the AReS dev server (linode20)</p>
<ul>
<li>The first problem was that there is a Docker container listening on port 80, so it conflicts with the ACME http-01 validation</li>
<li>The second problem was that we only allow access to port 80 from localhost</li>
<li><p>I adjusted the <code>renew-letsencrypt</code> systemd service so it stops/starts the Docker container and firewall:</p>
<li><p>It is important that the firewall starts back up before the Docker container or else Docker will complain about missing iptables chains</p></li>
<li><p>Also, I updated to the latest TLS Intermediate settings as appropriate for Ubuntu 18.04’s <ahref="https://ssl-config.mozilla.org/#server=nginx&server-version=1.16.0&config=intermediate&openssl-version=1.1.0g&hsts=false&ocsp=false">OpenSSL 1.1.0g with nginx 1.16.0</a></p></li>
<li><p>Run all system updates on AReS dev server (linode20) and reboot it</p></li>
<li><p>Get a list of all PDFs from the Bioversity migration that fail to download and save them so I can try again with a different path in the URL:</p>
<li><p>Even so, there are still 52 items with incorrect filenames, so I can’t derive their PDF URLs…</p>
<ul>
<li>For example, <code>Wild_cherry_Prunus_avium_859.pdf</code> is here (with double underscore): <ahref="https://www.bioversityinternational.org/fileadmin/_migrated/uploads/tx_news/Wild_cherry__Prunus_avium__859.pdf">https://www.bioversityinternational.org/fileadmin/_migrated/uploads/tx_news/Wild_cherry__Prunus_avium__859.pdf</a></li>
</ul></li>
<li><p>I will proceed with a metadata-only upload first and then let them know about the missing PDFs</p></li>
<li><p>Troubleshoot an issue we had with proxying to the new development version of AReS from DSpace Test (linode19)</p>
<ul>
<li>For some reason the host header in the proxy pass is not set so nginx on DSpace Test makes a request to the upstream nginx on an IP-based virtual host</li>
<li>The upstream nginx returns HTTP 444 because we configured it to not answer when a request does not send a valid hostname</li>
<li><p>The solution is to set the host header when proxy passing:</p>
<li><p>Though I am really wondering why this happened now, because the configuration has been working for months…</p></li>
<li><p>Improve the output of the suspicious characters check in <ahref="https://github.com/alanorth/csv-metadata-quality">csv-metadata-quality</a> script and tag version 0.2.0</p></li>

<ul>
<li>I told them not to continue, and that we would keep an eye on it and keep troubleshooting it (if neccessary) in the public eye on dspace-tech and Solr mailing lists</li>
<li><p>Testing an import of 1,429 Bioversity items (metadata only) on my local development machine and got an error with Java memory after about 1,000 items:</p>
<li>To make sure we didn’t have memory issues I reduced Tomcat’s JVM heap by 512m, increased the import processes’s heap to 512m, and split the input file into two parts with about 700 each</li>
<li>Then I had to create a few new temporary collections on DSpace Test that had been created on CGSpace after our last sync</li>
