## 2018-09-02

- New [PostgreSQL JDBC driver version 42.2.5](https://jdbc.postgresql.org/documentation/changelog.html#version_42.2.5)
- I'll update the DSpace role in our [Ansible infrastructure playbooks](https://github.com/ilri/rmg-ansible-public) and run the updated playbooks on CGSpace and DSpace Test
- Also, I'll re-run the `postgresql` tasks because the custom PostgreSQL variables are dynamic according to the system's RAM, and we never re-ran them after migrating to larger Linodes last month
- I'm testing the new DSpace 5.8 branch in my Ubuntu 18.04 environment and I'm getting those autowire errors in Tomcat 8.5.30 again:

- Full log here: https://gist.github.com/alanorth/1e4ae567b853fea9d9dbf1a030ecd8c2
- XMLUI fails to load, but the REST, SOLR, JSPUI, etc work
- The old `5_x-prod-dspace-5.5` branch does work in Ubuntu 18.04 with Tomcat 8.5.30-1ubuntu1.4, however!
- And the `5_x-prod` DSpace 5.8 branch does work in Tomcat 8.5.x on my Arch Linux laptop...
- I'm not sure where the issue is then!

- Abenet says she's getting three emails about periodic statistics reports every day since the DSpace 5.8 upgrade last week
- They are from the CUA module
- Two of them have "no data" and one has a "null" title
- The last one is a report of the top downloaded items, and includes a graph
- She will try to click the "Unsubscribe" link in the first two to see if it works, otherwise we should contact Atmire
- The only one she remembers subscribing to is the top downloads one

## 2018-09-04

- I'm looking over the latest round of IITA records from Sisay: [Mercy1806_August_29](https://dspacetest.cgiar.org/handle/10568/104230)
  - All fields are split with multiple columns like `cg.authorship.types` and `cg.authorship.types[]`
  - This makes it super annoying to do the checks and cleanup, so I will merge them (also time consuming)
  - Five issue dates had values like `2013-5` so I corrected them to be `2013-05`
  - Several metadata fields had values with newlines in them (even in some titles!), which I fixed by trimming the consecutive whitespaces in Open Refine
