<li>After discussion with WLE and CGSpace content people, we decided to just add one metadata field for the WLE Research Themes</li>
<li>The <code>cg.identifier.wletheme</code> field will be used for both Phase I and Phase II Research Themes</li>
<li>Then we’ll create a new sub-community for Phase II and create collections for the research themes there</li>
<li>The current “Research Themes” community will be renamed to “WLE Phase I Research Themes”</li>
<li>Tagged all items in the current Phase I collections with their appropriate themes</li>
<li>Create pull request to add Phase II research themes to the submission form: <ahref="https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/328">#328</a></li>
<li>Add <code>cg.subject.system</code> to CGSpace metadata registry, for subject from the upcoming CGIAR Library migration</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>After adding <code>cg.identifier.wletheme</code> to 1106 WLE items I can see the field on XMLUI but not in REST!</li>
<li>Strangely it happens on DSpace Test AND on CGSpace!</li>
<li>I tried to re-index Discovery but it didn’t fix it</li>
<li>Run all system updates on DSpace Test and reboot the server</li>
<li>After rebooting the server (and therefore restarting Tomcat) the new metadata field is available</li>
<li>I’ve sent a message to the dspace-tech mailing list to ask if this is a bug and whether I should file a Jira ticket</li>
</ul>

<li>Rename WLE’s “Research Themes” sub-community to “WLE Phase I Research Themes” on DSpace Test so Macaroni Bros can continue their testing</li>
<li>Macaroni Bros tested it and said it’s fine, so I renamed it on CGSpace as well</li>
<li>Working on how to automate the extraction of the CIAT Book chapters, doing some magic in OpenRefine to extract page from–to from cg.identifier.url and dc.format.extent, respectively:
<li>Finally, after some filtering to see which small outliers there were (based on dc.format.extent using “p. 1-14” vs “29 p.”), create a new column with last page number:
<li>Start processing 769 records after filtering the following (there are another 159 records that have some other format, or for example they have their own PDF which I will process later), using a modified <code>generate-thumbnails.py</code> script to read certain fields and then pass to GhostScript:
<li>I went and did some basic sanity checks on the remaining items in the CIAT Book Chapters and decided they are mostly fine (except one duplicate and the flagged ones), so I imported them to DSpace Test too (162 items)</li>
<li>Total items in CIAT Book Chapters is 914, with the others being flagged for some reason, and we should send that back to CIAT</li>
<li>Restart Tomcat on CGSpace so that the <code>cg.identifier.wletheme</code> field is available on REST API for Macaroni Bros</li>
<li>Import Abenet and Peter’s changes to the CGIAR Library CRP community</li>
<li>Due to them using Windows and renaming some columns there were formatting, encoding, and duplicate metadata value issues</li>
<li>I had to remove some fields from the CSV and rename some back to, ie, <code>dc.subject[en_US]</code> just so DSpace would detect changes properly</li>
<li>Now it looks much better: <ahref="https://dspacetest.cgiar.org/handle/10947/2517">https://dspacetest.cgiar.org/handle/10947/2517</a></li>
<li>Removing the HTML tags and HTML/XML entities using the following GREL:
<li>WLE has said that one of their Phase II research themes is being renamed from <code>Regenerating Degraded Landscapes</code> to <code>Restoring Degraded Landscapes</code></li>
<li>Pull request with the changes to <code>input-forms.xml</code>: <ahref="https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/329">#329</a></li>
<li>As of now it doesn’t look like there are any items using this research theme so we don’t need to do any updates:</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>dspace=# select text_value from metadatavalue where resource_type_id=2 and metadata_field_id=237 and text_value like 'Regenerating Degraded Landscapes%';
text_value
------------

</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>Marianne from WLE asked if they can have both Phase I and II research themes together in the item submission form</li>
<li>Perhaps we can add them together in the same question for <code>cg.identifier.wletheme</code></li>
<li>CGSpace went down briefly, I see lots of these errors in the dspace logs:</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>Java stacktrace: java.util.NoSuchElementException: Timeout waiting for idle object
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>After looking at the Tomcat logs, Munin graphs, and PostgreSQL connection stats, it seems there is just a high load</li>
<li>Might be a good time to adjust DSpace’s database connection settings, like I first mentioned in April, 2017 after reading the <ahref="https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/cmtygp/DCAT+Meeting+April+2017">2017-04 DCAT comments</a></li>
<li>I’ve adjusted the following in CGSpace’s config:
<ul>
<li><code>db.maxconnections</code> 30→70 (the default PostgreSQL config allows 100 connections, so DSpace’s default of 30 is quite low)</li>
<li><code>db.maxwait</code> 5000→10000</li>
<li><code>db.maxidle</code> 8→20 (DSpace default is -1, unlimited, but we had set it to 8 earlier)</li>
</ul></li>
<li>We will need to adjust this again (as well as the <code>pg_hba.conf</code> settings) when we deploy tsega’s REST API</li>
