<li>Found a way to get items with null/empty metadata values from SQL</li>
<li>First, find the <code>metadata_field_id</code> for the field you want from the <code>metadatafieldregistry</code> table:</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>dspacetest=# select * from metadatafieldregistry;
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>In this case our country field is 78</li>
<li>Now find all resources with type 2 (item) that have null/empty values for that field:</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>dspacetest=# select resource_id from metadatavalue where resource_type_id=2 and metadata_field_id=78 and (text_value='' OR text_value IS NULL);
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>Then you can find the handle that owns it from its <code>resource_id</code>:</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>dspacetest=# select handle from item, handle where handle.resource_id = item.item_id AND item.item_id = '22678';
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>It’s 25 items so editing in the web UI is annoying, let’s try SQL!</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>dspacetest=# delete from metadatavalue where metadata_field_id=78 and text_value='';
DELETE 25
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>After that perhaps a regular <code>dspace index-discovery</code> (no -b) <em>should</em> suffice…</li>
<li>Hmm, I indexed, cleared the Cocoon cache, and restarted Tomcat but the 25 “|||” countries are still there</li>
<li>Maybe I need to do a full re-index…</li>
<li>Working on cleaning up Abenet’s DAGRIS data with OpenRefine</li>
<li>I discovered two really nice functions in OpenRefine: <code>value.trim()</code> and <code>value.escape("javascript")</code> which shows whitespace characters like <code>\r\n</code>!</li>
<li>For some reason when you import an Excel file into OpenRefine it exports dates like 1949 to 1949.0 in the CSV</li>
<li>I re-import the resulting CSV and run a GREL on the date issued column: <code>value.replace("\.0", "")</code></li>
<li>I need to start running DSpace in Mac OS X instead of a Linux VM</li>
<li>Add CATALINA_OPTS in <code>/opt/brew/Cellar/tomcat/8.0.30/libexec/bin/setenv.sh</code>, as this script is sourced by the <code>catalina</code> startup script</li>
<li>Whip up some quick CSS to make the button in the submission workflow use the XMLUI theme’s brand colors (<ahref="https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/issues/154">#154</a>)</li>
<li>We should install it in /opt/letsencrypt and then script the renewal script, but first we have to wire up some variables and template stuff based on the script here: <ahref="https://letsencrypt.org/howitworks/">https://letsencrypt.org/howitworks/</a></li>
<li>I had to export some CIAT items that were being cleaned up on the test server and I noticed their <code>dc.contributor.author</code> fields have DSpace 5 authority index UUIDs…</li>
<li>To clean those up in OpenRefine I used this GREL expression: <code>value.replace(/::\w{8}-\w{4}-\w{4}-\w{4}-\w{12}::600/,"")</code></li>
<li>Getting more and more hangs on DSpace Test, seemingly random but also during CSV import</li>
<li>Logs don’t always show anything right when it fails, but eventually one of these appears:</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>org.dspace.discovery.SearchServiceException: Error while processing facet fields: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>or</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>Caused by: java.util.NoSuchElementException: Timeout waiting for idle object
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>Right now DSpace Test’s Tomcat heap is set to 1536m and we have quite a bit of free RAM:</li>
</ul>
<pre><code># free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 3950 3902 48 9 37 1311
-/+ buffers/cache: 2552 1397
Swap: 255 57 198
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>So I’ll bump up the Tomcat heap to 2048 (CGSpace production server is using 3GB)</li>
<li>There are 1200 records that have PDFs, and will need to be imported into CGSpace</li>
<li>I created a <code>filename</code> column based on the <code>dc.identifier.url</code> column using the following transform:</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>value.split('/')[-1]
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>Then I wrote a tool called <ahref="https://gist.github.com/alanorth/2206f24483fe5f0454fc"><code>generate-thumbnails.py</code></a> to download the PDFs and generate thumbnails for them, for example:</li>
<li>Looking at CIAT’s records again, there are some files linking to PDFs on Slide Share, Embrapa, UEA UK, and Condesan, so I’m not sure if we can use those</li>
<li>265 items have dirty, URL-encoded filenames:</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>$ ls | grep -c -E "%"
265
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>I suggest that we import ~850 or so of the clean ones first, then do the rest after I can find a clean/reliable way to decode the filenames</li>
<li>Merge pull requests for submission form theming (<ahref="https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/178">#178</a>) and missing center subjects in XMLUI item views (<ahref="https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/176">#176</a>)</li>
<li>They will be deployed on CGSpace the next time I re-deploy</li>
<li>Turns out OpenRefine has an unescape function!</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>value.unescape("url")
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>This turns the URLs into human-readable versions that we can use as proper filenames</li>
<li>Run web server and system updates on DSpace Test and reboot</li>
<li>To merge <code>dc.identifier.url</code> and <code>dc.identifier.url[]</code>, rename the second column so it doesn’t have the brackets, like <code>dc.identifier.url2</code></li>
<li>Then you create a facet for blank values on each column, show the rows that have values for one and not the other, then transform each independently to have the contents of the other, with “||” in between</li>
<li>Work on Python script for parsing and downloading PDF records from <code>dc.identifier.url</code></li>
<li>To turn <code>dc.identifier.url</code> into filenames, create a new column based o</li>
<li>To get filenames from <code>dc.identifier.url</code>, create a new column based on this transform: <code>forEach(value.split('||'), v, v.split('/')[-1]).join('||')</code></li>
<li>This also works for records that have multiple URLs (separated by “||”)</li>
