<li>Add tests for the new <code>/items</code> POST handlers to the DSpace 6.x branch of my <a href="https://github.com/ilri/dspace-statistics-api/tree/v6_x">dspace-statistics-api</a>
<ul>
<li>It took a bit of extra work because I had to learn how to mock the responses for when Solr is not available</li>
<li>Tag and release version 1.3.0 on GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/ilri/dspace-statistics-api/releases/tag/v1.3.0">https://github.com/ilri/dspace-statistics-api/releases/tag/v1.3.0</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Trying to test the changes Atmire sent last week but I had to re-create my local database from a recent CGSpace dump
<ul>
<li>During the FlywayDB migration I got an error:</li>
<li>Replace Marissa van Epp for Rhys Bucknall in the CCAFS groups on CGSpace because Marissa no longer works at CCAFS</li>
<li>The AReS Explorer hasn&rsquo;t updated its index since 2020-08-22 when I last forced it
<ul>
<li>I restarted it again now and told Moayad that the automatic indexing isn&rsquo;t working</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Add <code>Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT</code> to affiliations on CGSpace</li>
<li>Abenet told me that the general search text on AReS doesn&rsquo;t get reset when you use the &ldquo;Reset Filters&rdquo; button
<ul>
<li>I filed a bug on OpenRXV: <a href="https://github.com/ilri/OpenRXV/issues/39">https://github.com/ilri/OpenRXV/issues/39</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I filed an issue on OpenRXV to make some minor edits to the admin UI: <a href="https://github.com/ilri/OpenRXV/issues/40">https://github.com/ilri/OpenRXV/issues/40</a></li>
<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&rsquo;s preferred &ldquo;display&rdquo; country names)</li>
<li>It implements a &ldquo;force&rdquo; 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&hellip;</li>
<li>A few users noticed that CGSpace wasn&rsquo;t loading items today, item pages seem blank
<ul>
<li>I looked at the PostgreSQL locks but they don&rsquo;t seem unusual</li>
<li>I guess this is the same &ldquo;blank item page&rdquo; 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&rsquo;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
<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 &lsquo;idle in transaction&rsquo; and &lsquo;waiting for lock&rsquo; 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>
<li>Maria asked me to update Charles Staver&rsquo;s ORCID iD in the submission template and on CGSpace, as his name was lower case before, and now he has corrected it
<ul>
<li>I updated the fifty-eight existing items on CGSpace</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Looking into the items Udana had asked about last week that were missing Altmetric donuts:
<li><a href="https://hdl.handle.net/10568/103225">The first</a> is still missing its DOI, so I added it and <a href="https://twitter.com/mralanorth/status/1245632619661766657">tweeted its handle</a> (after a few hours there was a donut with score 222)</li>
<li><a href="https://hdl.handle.net/10568/106899">The second item</a> now has a donut with score 2 since I <a href="https://twitter.com/mralanorth/status/1243158045540134913">tweeted its handle</a> last week</li>
<li><a href="https://hdl.handle.net/10568/107258">The third item</a> now has a donut with score 1 since I <a href="https://twitter.com/mralanorth/status/1243158786392625153">tweeted it</a> last week</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>On the same note, the <a href="https://hdl.handle.net/10568/106573">one item</a> Abenet pointed out last week now has a donut with score of 104 after I <a href="https://twitter.com/mralanorth/status/1243163710241345536">tweeted it</a> last week</li>
<li>Update <a href="https://github.com/ilri/dspace-statistics-api">dspace-statistics-api</a> for DSpace 6+ UUIDs
<ul>
<li>Tag version 1.2.0 on GitHub</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Test migrating legacy Solr statistics to UUIDs with the as-of-yet unreleased <a href="https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/commit/184f2b2153479045fba6239342c63e7f8564b8b6#diff-0350ce2e13b28d5d61252b7a8f50a059">SolrUpgradePre6xStatistics.java</a>
<ul>
<li>You need to download this into the DSpace 6.x source and compile it</li>
<li>Open <a href="https://tracker.atmire.com/tickets-cgiar-ilri/view-ticket?id=706">a ticket</a> with Atmire to request a quote for the upgrade to DSpace 6</li>
<li>Last week Altmetric responded about the <a href="https://hdl.handle.net/10568/97087">item</a> that had a lower score than than its DOI
<ul>
<li>The score is now linked to the DOI</li>
<li>Another <a href="https://handle.hdl.net/10568/91278">item</a> that had the same problem in 2019 has now also linked to the score for its DOI</li>
<li>Another <a href="https://hdl.handle.net/10568/81236">item</a> that had the same problem in 2019 has also been fixed</li>
<li>Peter Ballantyne highlighted one more WLE <a href="https://hdl.handle.net/10568/101286">item</a> that is missing the Altmetric score that its DOI has
<ul>
<li>The DOI has a score of 259, but the Handle has no score at all</li>
<li>I <a href="https://twitter.com/mralanorth/status/1214471427157626881">tweeted</a> the CGSpace repository link</li>
<description><p>Possible changes to CGSpace metadata fields to align more with DC, QDC, and DCTERMS as well as CG Core v2.</p>
<p>With reference to <a href="https://agriculturalsemantics.github.io/cg-core/cgcore.html">CG Core v2 draft standard</a> by Marie-Angélique as well as <a href="http://www.dublincore.org/specifications/dublin-core/dcmi-terms/">DCMI DCTERMS</a>.</p></description>
<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: $ csvcut -c 'id,dc.</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>Create an &ldquo;AfricaRice books and book chapters&rdquo; collection on CGSpace for AfricaRice</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>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>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>
<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>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>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>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</li>
<li>I&rsquo;m not sure why Tomcat didn&rsquo;t crash with an OutOfMemoryError&hellip;</li>
<li>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</li>
<li>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</li>
<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>
<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>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></li>
<li>Time to index ~70,000 items on CGSpace:</li>
<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>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>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>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</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>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:</li>
<li>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</li>
