<li>Looks like simply adding a new metadata field to <code>dspace/config/registries/cgiar-types.xml</code> and restarting DSpace causes the field to get added to the rregistry</li>
<li>It requires a restart but at least it allows you to manage the registry programmatically</li>
<li>It’s not a very good way to manage the registry, though, as removing one there doesn’t cause it to be removed from the registry, and we always restore from database backups so there would never be a scenario when we needed these to be created</li>
<li>Testing some corrections on CCAFS Phase II flagships (<code>cg.subject.ccafs</code>):</li>
<li>CCAFS said they want to wait on the flagship updates (<code>cg.subject.ccafs</code>) on CGSpace, perhaps for a month or so</li>
<li>Help Marianne Gadeberg (WLE) with some user permissions as it seems she had previously been using a personal email account, and is now on a CGIAR one</li>
<li>I manually added her new account to ~25 authorizations that her hold user was on</li>
<li>Add <code>SCALING</code> to ILRI subjects (<ahref="https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/304">#304</a>), as Sisay’s attempts were all sloppy</li>
<li>Cherry pick some patches from the DSpace 5.7 branch:
<ul>
<li>DS-3363 CSV import error says “row”, means “column”: f7b6c83e991db099003ee4e28ca33d3c7bab48c0</li>
<li>DS-3479 avoid adding empty metadata values during import: 329f3b48a6de7fad074d825fd12118f7e181e151</li>
<li>[DS-3456] 5x Clarify command line options for statisics import/export tools (#1623): 567ec083c8a94eb2bcc1189816eb4f767745b278</li>
<li>[DS-3458]5x Allow Shard Process to Append to an existing repo: 3c8ecb5d1fd69a1dcfee01feed259e80abbb7749</li>
</ul></li>
<li>I still need to test these, especially as the last two which change some stuff with Solr maintenance</li>
<li>Update rvm on DSpace Test and CGSpace as there was a <ahref="https://github.com/justinsteven/advisories/blob/master/2017_rvm_cd_command_execution.md">security disclosure about versions less than 1.28.0</a></li>
<li>We are using only ~8GB of RAM for applications, and 16GB for caches!</li>
<li>The Linode machine we’re on has 24GB of RAM but only because that’s the only instance that had enough disk space for us (384GB)…</li>
<li>We should probably look into Google Compute Engine or Digital Ocean where we can get more storage without having to follow a linear increase in instance pricing for CPU/memory as well</li>
<li>Especially because we only use 2 out of 8 CPUs basically:</li>
<li>And then a SQL command to update existing records:</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>dspace=# update metadatavalue set text_value = regexp_replace(text_value, 'http://hdl.handle.net', 'https://hdl.handle.net') where metadata_field_id IN (select metadata_field_id from metadatafieldregistry where element = 'identifier' and qualifier = 'uri');
