<description>2019-10-01 Udana from IWMI asked me for a CSV export of their community on CGSpace
I exported it, but a quick run through the csv-metadata-quality tool shows that there are some low-hanging fruits we can fix before I send him the data I will limit the scope to the titles, regions, subregions, and river basins for now to manually fix some non-breaking spaces (U+00A0) there that would otherwise be removed by the csv-metadata-quality script&rsquo;s &ldquo;unneccesary Unicode&rdquo; fix:</description>
<li>Look at Bioversity&rsquo;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&hellip;</li>
<li>Last month Sisay asked why the following &ldquo;most popular&rdquo; statistics link for a range of months in 2018 works for the CIAT community on DSpace Test, but not on CGSpace:
<li>Merge the <a href="https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/425">Solr filterCache</a> and <a href="https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/426">XMLUI ISI journal</a> changes to the <code>5_x-prod</code> branch and deploy on CGSpace</li>
<li>Run system updates on CGSpace (linode18) and reboot it</li>
<li>Skype with Marie-Angélique and Abenet about <a href="https://agriculturalsemantics.github.io/cg-core/cgcore.html">CG Core v2</a></li>
<li><p>But after this I tried to delete the item from the XMLUI and it is <em>still</em> present&hellip;</p></li>
<li><p>In the last two weeks there have been 47,000 downloads of this <em>same exact PDF</em> by these three IP addresses</p></li>
<li><p>Apply country and region corrections and deletions on DSpace Test and CGSpace:</p>
<li>I checked IITA&rsquo;s 259 Feb 14 records from last month for duplicates using Atmire&rsquo;s Duplicate Checker on a fresh snapshot of CGSpace on my local machine and everything looks good</li>
<li>I am now only waiting to hear from her about where the items should go, though I assume Journal Articles go to IITA Journal Articles collection, etc&hellip;</li>
<li>Looking at the other half of Udana&rsquo;s WLE records from 2018-11
<ul>
<li>I finished the ones for Restoring Degraded Landscapes (RDL), but these are for Variability, Risks and Competing Uses (VRC)</li>
<li>I did the usual cleanups for whitespace, added regions where they made sense for certain countries, cleaned up the DOI link formats, added rights information based on the publications page for a few items</li>
<li>Most worryingly, there are encoding errors in the abstracts for eleven items, for example:</li>
<li>68.15% <20> 9.45 instead of 68.15% ± 9.45</li>
<li>2003<EFBFBD>2013 instead of 2003–2013</li>
</ul></li>
<li>I think I will need to ask Udana to re-copy and paste the abstracts with more care using Google Docs</li>
<li>Linode has alerted a few times since last night that the CPU usage on CGSpace (linode18) was high despite me increasing the alert threshold last week from 250% to 275%—I might need to increase it again!</li>
<li><p><code>85.25.237.71</code> is the &ldquo;Linguee Bot&rdquo; that I first saw last month</p></li>
<li><p>The Solr statistics the past few months have been very high and I was wondering if the web server logs also showed an increase</p></li>
<li><p>There were just over 3 million accesses in the nginx logs last month:</p>
<li>Switch CGSpace (linode18) to use OpenJDK instead of Oracle JDK</li>
<li>I manually installed OpenJDK, then removed Oracle JDK, then re-ran the <a href="http://github.com/ilri/rmg-ansible-public">Ansible playbook</a> to update all configuration files, etc</li>
<li>Then I ran all system updates and restarted the server</li>
<li>I noticed that there is another issue with PDF thumbnails on CGSpace, and I see there was another <a href="https://usn.ubuntu.com/3831-1/">Ghostscript vulnerability last week</a></li>
<li>Finalize AReS Phase I and Phase II ToRs</li>
<li>Send a note about my <a href="https://github.com/ilri/dspace-statistics-api">dspace-statistics-api</a> to the dspace-tech mailing list</li>
<li>Phil Thornton got an ORCID identifier so we need to add it to the list on CGSpace and tag his existing items</li>
<li>I created a GitHub issue to track this <a href="https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/issues/389">#389</a>, because I&rsquo;m super busy in Nairobi right now</li>
<li>I&rsquo;ll update the DSpace role in our <a href="https://github.com/ilri/rmg-ansible-public">Ansible infrastructure playbooks</a> and run the updated playbooks on CGSpace and DSpace Test</li>
<li>Also, I&rsquo;ll re-run the <code>postgresql</code> tasks because the custom PostgreSQL variables are dynamic according to the system&rsquo;s RAM, and we never re-ran them after migrating to larger Linodes last month</li>
<li>I&rsquo;m testing the new DSpace 5.8 branch in my Ubuntu 18.04 environment and I&rsquo;m getting those autowire errors in Tomcat 8.5.30 again:</li>
<li><p>Judging from the time of the crash it was probably related to the Discovery indexing that starts at midnight</p></li>
<li><p>From the DSpace log I see that eventually Solr stopped responding, so I guess the <code>java</code> process that was OOM killed above was Tomcat&rsquo;s</p></li>
<li><p>I&rsquo;m not sure why Tomcat didn&rsquo;t crash with an OutOfMemoryError&hellip;</p></li>
<li><p>Anyways, perhaps I should increase the JVM heap from 5120m to 6144m like we did a few months ago when we tried to run the whole CGSpace Solr core</p></li>
<li><p>The server only has 8GB of RAM so we&rsquo;ll eventually need to upgrade to a larger one because we&rsquo;ll start starving the OS, PostgreSQL, and command line batch processes</p></li>
<li><p>I ran all system updates on DSpace Test and rebooted it</p></li>
<li><p>During the <code>mvn package</code> stage on the 5.8 branch I kept getting issues with java running out of memory:</p>
<li>Test the <a href="https://tracker.atmire.com/tickets-cgiar-ilri/view-ticket?id=560">DSpace 5.8 module upgrades from Atmire</a> (<a href="https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/378">#378</a>)
<ul>
<li>There seems to be a problem with the CUA and L&amp;R versions in <code>pom.xml</code> because they are using SNAPSHOT and it doesn&rsquo;t build</li>
</ul></li>
<li>I added the new CCAFS Phase II Project Tag <code>PII-FP1_PACCA2</code> and merged it into the <code>5_x-prod</code> branch (<a href="https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/379">#379</a>)</li>
<li><p>I think a sane proofing workflow in OpenRefine is to apply the custom text facets for check/delete/remove and illegal characters that I developed in <a href="https://alanorth.github.io/cgspace-notes/cgspace-notes/2018-03/">March, 2018</a></p></li>
<li><p>Time to index ~70,000 items on CGSpace:</p>
<li>Then I reduced the JVM heap size from 6144 back to 5120m</li>
<li>Also, I switched it to use OpenJDK instead of Oracle Java, as well as re-worked the <a href="https://github.com/ilri/rmg-ansible-public">Ansible infrastructure scripts</a> to support hosts choosing which distribution they want to use</li>
<li>Peter gave feedback on the <code>dc.rights</code> proof of concept that I had sent him last week</li>
<li>We don&rsquo;t need to distinguish between internal and external works, so that makes it just a simple list</li>
<li>Yesterday I figured out how to monitor DSpace sessions using JMX</li>
<li>I copied the logic in the <code>jmx_tomcat_dbpools</code> provided by Ubuntu&rsquo;s <code>munin-plugins-java</code> package and used the stuff I discovered about JMX <a href="https://alanorth.github.io/cgspace-notes/cgspace-notes/2018-01/">in 2018-01</a></li>
<li>Uptime Robot noticed that CGSpace went down and up a few times last night, for a few minutes each time</li>
<li>I didn&rsquo;t get any load alerts from Linode and the REST and XMLUI logs don&rsquo;t show anything out of the ordinary</li>
<li>The nginx logs show HTTP 200s until <code>02/Jan/2018:11:27:17 +0000</code> when Uptime Robot got an HTTP 500</li>
<li>In dspace.log around that time I see many errors like &ldquo;Client closed the connection before file download was complete&rdquo;</li>
<pre><code>Caused by: org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.PoolExhaustedException: [http-bio-127.0.0.1-8443-exec-980] Timeout: Pool empty. Unable to fetch a connection in 5 seconds, none available[size:50; busy:50; idle:0; lastwait:5000].
<li><p>Ah hah! So the pool was actually empty!</p></li>
<li><p>I need to increase that, let&rsquo;s try to bump it up from 50 to 75</p></li>
<li><p>After that one client got an HTTP 499 but then the rest were HTTP 200, so I don&rsquo;t know what the hell Uptime Robot saw</p></li>
<li><p>I notice this error quite a few times in dspace.log:</p>
<li><p>Danny wrote to ask for help renewing the wildcard ilri.org certificate and I advised that we should probably use Let&rsquo;s Encrypt if it&rsquo;s just a handful of domains</p></li>
<pre><code>dspace=# \copy (select distinct text_value, count(*) as count from metadatavalue where metadata_field_id = (select metadata_field_id from metadatafieldregistry where element = 'contributor' and qualifier = 'author') AND resource_type_id = 2 group by text_value order by count desc) to /tmp/authors.csv with csv;
<li><p>Peter emailed to point out that many items in the <a href="https://cgspace.cgiar.org/handle/10568/2703">ILRI archive collection</a> have multiple handles:</p>
<li><p>There appears to be a pattern but I&rsquo;ll have to look a bit closer and try to clean them up automatically, either in SQL or in OpenRefine</p></li>
<li><p>Add Katherine Lutz to the groups for content submission and edit steps of the CGIAR System collections</p></li>
<description><p>Rough notes for importing the CGIAR Library content. It was decided that this content would go to a new top-level community called <em>CGIAR System Organization</em>.</p></description>
<li>Ask Sisay to clean up the WLE approvers a bit, as Marianne&rsquo;s user account is both in the approvers step as well as the group</li>
<li>Linode sent an alert that CGSpace (linode18) was using 350% CPU for the past two hours</li>
<li>I looked in the Activity pane of the Admin Control Panel and it seems that Google, Baidu, Yahoo, and Bing are all crawling with massive numbers of bots concurrently (~100 total, mostly Baidu and Google)</li>
<li>The good thing is that, according to <code>dspace.log.2017-08-01</code>, they are all using the same Tomcat session</li>
<li>This means our Tomcat Crawler Session Valve is working</li>
<li>But many of the bots are browsing dynamic URLs like:
<ul>
<li>/handle/10568/3353/discover</li>
<li>/handle/10568/16510/browse</li>
</ul></li>
<li>The <code>robots.txt</code> only blocks the top-level <code>/discover</code> and <code>/browse</code> URLs&hellip; we will need to find a way to forbid them from accessing these!</li>
<li>Relevant issue from DSpace Jira (semi resolved in DSpace 6.0): <a href="https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-2962">https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-2962</a></li>
<li>It turns out that we&rsquo;re already adding the <code>X-Robots-Tag &quot;none&quot;</code> HTTP header, but this only forbids the search engine from <em>indexing</em> the page, not crawling it!</li>
<li>Also, the bot has to successfully browse the page first so it can receive the HTTP header&hellip;</li>
<li>We might actually have to <em>block</em> these requests with HTTP 403 depending on the user agent</li>
<li>Abenet pointed out that the CGIAR Library Historical Archive collection I sent July 20th only had ~100 entries, instead of 2415</li>
<li>This was due to newline characters in the <code>dc.description.abstract</code> column, which caused OpenRefine to choke when exporting the CSV</li>
<li>I exported a new CSV from the collection on DSpace Test and then manually removed the characters in vim using <code>g/^$/d</code></li>
<li>Then I cleaned up the author authorities and HTML characters in OpenRefine and sent the file back to Abenet</li>
<li>Merge changes for WLE Phase II theme rename (<a href="https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/329">#329</a>)</li>
<li>Looking at extracting the metadata registries from ICARDA&rsquo;s MEL DSpace database so we can compare fields with CGSpace</li>
<li>We can use PostgreSQL&rsquo;s extended output format (<code>-x</code>) plus <code>sed</code> to format the output into quasi XML:</li>
<description>2017-06-01 After discussion with WLE and CGSpace content people, we decided to just add one metadata field for the WLE Research Themes The cg.identifier.wletheme field will be used for both Phase I and Phase II Research Themes Then we&rsquo;ll create a new sub-community for Phase II and create collections for the research themes there The current &ldquo;Research Themes&rdquo; community will be renamed to &ldquo;WLE Phase I Research Themes&rdquo; Tagged all items in the current Phase I collections with their appropriate themes Create pull request to add Phase II research themes to the submission form: #328 Add cg.</description>
<description>2017-05-01 ICARDA apparently started working on CG Core on their MEL repository They have done a few cg.* fields, but not very consistent and even copy some of CGSpace items: https://mel.cgiar.org/xmlui/handle/20.500.11766/6911?show=full https://cgspace.cgiar.org/handle/10568/73683 2017-05-02 Atmire got back about the Workflow Statistics issue, and apparently it&rsquo;s a bug in the CUA module so they will send us a pull request 2017-05-04 Sync DSpace Test with database and assetstore from CGSpace Re-deploy DSpace Test with Atmire&rsquo;s CUA patch for workflow statistics, run system updates, and restart the server Now I can see the workflow statistics and am able to select users, but everything returns 0 items Megan says there are still some mapped items are not appearing since last week, so I forced a full index-discovery -b Need to remember to check if the collection has more items (currently 39 on CGSpace, but 118 on the freshly reindexed DSPace Test) tomorrow: https://cgspace.</description>
<li>Merge one change to CCAFS flagships that I had forgotten to remove last month (&ldquo;MANAGING CLIMATE RISK&rdquo;): <a href="https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/317">https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/317</a></li>
<li>Quick proof-of-concept hack to add <code>dc.rights</code> to the input form, including some inline instructions/hints:</li>

<p><img src="https://alanorth.github.io/cgspace-notes/cgspace-notes/2017/04/dc-rights.png" alt="dc.rights in the submission form" /></p>
<ul>
<li>Remove redundant/duplicate text in the DSpace submission license</li>
<li>Skype with Michael and Peter, discussing moving the CGIAR Library to CGSpace</li>
<li>CGIAR people possibly open to moving content, redirecting library.cgiar.org to CGSpace and letting CGSpace resolve their handles</li>
<li>They might come in at the top level in one &ldquo;CGIAR System&rdquo; community, or with several communities</li>
<li>I need to spend a bit of time looking at the multiple handle support in DSpace and see if new content can be minted in both handles, or just one?</li>
<li>Need to send Peter and Michael some notes about this in a few days</li>
<li>Also, need to consider talking to Atmire about hiring them to bring ORCiD metadata to REST / OAI</li>
<li>Filed an issue on DSpace issue tracker for the <code>filter-media</code> bug that causes it to process JPGs even when limiting to the PDF thumbnail plugin: <a href="https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-3516">DS-3516</a></li>
<li>Discovered that the ImageMagic <code>filter-media</code> plugin creates JPG thumbnails with the CMYK colorspace when the source PDF is using CMYK</li>
<li><p>Interestingly, it seems DSpace 4.x&rsquo;s thumbnails were sRGB, but forcing regeneration using DSpace 5.x&rsquo;s ImageMagick plugin creates CMYK JPGs if the source PDF was CMYK (see <a href="https://cgspace.cgiar.org/handle/10568/51999"><sup>10568</sup>&frasl;<sub>51999</sub></a>):</p>
<li><p>Create issue on GitHub to track the addition of CCAFS Phase II project tags (<a href="https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/issues/301">#301</a>)</p></li>
<li><p>Looks like we&rsquo;ll be using <code>cg.identifier.ccafsprojectpii</code> as the field name</p></li>
<li>I checked to see if the Solr sharding task that is supposed to run on January 1st had run and saw there was an error</li>
<li>I tested on DSpace Test as well and it doesn&rsquo;t work there either</li>
<li>I asked on the dspace-tech mailing list because it seems to be broken, and actually now I&rsquo;m not sure if we&rsquo;ve ever had the sharding task run successfully over all these years</li>

<li>After reading the <a href="https://www.oclc.org/support/services/contentdm/help/server-admin-help/oai-support.en.html">ContentDM documentation</a> I found IFPRI&rsquo;s OAI endpoint: <a href="http://ebrary.ifpri.org/oai/oai.php">http://ebrary.ifpri.org/oai/oai.php</a></li>
<li>After reading the <a href="https://www.openarchives.org/OAI/openarchivesprotocol.html">OAI documentation</a> and testing with an <a href="http://validator.oaipmh.com/">OAI validator</a> I found out how to get their publications</li>
<li>This is their publications set: <a href="http://ebrary.ifpri.org/oai/oai.php?verb=ListRecords&amp;from=2016-01-01&amp;set=p15738coll2&amp;metadataPrefix=oai_dc">http://ebrary.ifpri.org/oai/oai.php?verb=ListRecords&amp;from=2016-01-01&amp;set=p15738coll2&amp;metadataPrefix=oai_dc</a></li>

<li>Looking at log file use on CGSpace and notice that we need to work on our cron setup a bit</li>
<li>We are backing up all logs in the log folder, including useless stuff like solr, cocoon, handle-plugin, etc</li>
<li>After running DSpace for over five years I&rsquo;ve never needed to look in any other log file than dspace.log, leave alone one from last year!</li>
<li>This will save us a few gigs of backup space we&rsquo;re paying for on S3</li>
<li>Also, I noticed the <code>checker</code> log has some errors we should pay attention to:</li>
<li>Looking at issues with author authorities on CGSpace</li>
<li>For some reason we still have the <code>index-lucene-update</code> cron job active on CGSpace, but I&rsquo;m pretty sure we don&rsquo;t need it as of the latest few versions of Atmire&rsquo;s Listings and Reports module</li>
<li>Reinstall my local (Mac OS X) DSpace stack with Tomcat 7, PostgreSQL 9.3, and Java JDK 1.7 to match environment on CGSpace server</li>
<li>Move ILRI collection <code>10568/12503</code> from <code>10568/27869</code> to <code>10568/27629</code> using the <a href="https://gist.github.com/alanorth/392c4660e8b022d99dfa">move_collections.sh</a> script I wrote last year.</li>
<li>I realized it is only necessary to clear the Cocoon cache after moving collections—rather than reindexing—as no metadata has changed, and therefore no search or browse indexes need to be updated.</li>
<li>Update GitHub wiki for documentation of <a href="https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/wiki/Maintenance-Tasks">maintenance tasks</a>.</li>
<li><p>Replace <code>lzop</code> with <code>xz</code> in log compression cron jobs on DSpace Test—it uses less space:</p>
