<li>I spent a few days working on a Java-based curation task to tag items with ISO 3166-1 Alpha2 country codes based on their <code>cg.coverage.country</code> text values
<ul>
<li>It looks up the names in ISO 3166-1 first, and then in our CGSpace countries mapping (which has five or so of Peter’s preferred “display” country names)</li>
<li>It implements a “force” mode too that will clear existing country codes and re-tag everything</li>
<li>It is class based so I can easily add support for other vocabularies, and the technique could even be used for organizations with mappings to ROR and Clarisa…</li>
</ul>

<li>A few users noticed that CGSpace wasn’t loading items today, item pages seem blank
<ul>
<li>I looked at the PostgreSQL locks but they don’t seem unusual</li>
<li>I guess this is the same “blank item page” issue that we had a few times in 2019 that we never solved</li>
<li>I restarted Tomcat and PostgreSQL and the issue was gone</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Since I was restarting Tomcat anyways I decided to redeploy the latest changes from the <code>5_x-prod</code> branch and I added a note about COVID-19 items to the CGSpace frontpage at Peter’s request</li>

<li>I tried to run the <code>AtomicStatisticsUpdateCLI</code> CUA migration script on DSpace Test (linode26) again and it is still going very slowly and has tons of errors like I noticed yesterday
<ul>
<li>I sent Atmire the dspace.log from today and told them to log into the server to debug the process</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>In other news, I checked the statistics API on DSpace 6 and it’s working</li>
<li>I tried to build the OAI registry on the freshly migrated DSpace 6 on DSpace Test and I get an error:</li>

<li>Peter said that CTA is having problems submitting an item to CGSpace
<ul>
<li>Looking at the PostgreSQL stats it seems to be the same issue that Tezira was having last week, as I see the number of connections in ‘idle in transaction’ and ‘waiting for lock’ state are increasing again</li>
<li>I see that CGSpace (linode18) is still using PostgreSQL JDBC driver version 42.2.11, and there were some bugs related to transactions fixed in 42.2.12 (which I had updated in the Ansible playbooks, but not deployed yet)</li>
