CGSpace Notes

2020-02-02

• Continue working on porting CGSpace’s DSpace 5 code to DSpace 6.3 that I started yesterday
  • Sign up for an account with MaxMind so I can get the GeoLite2-City.mmdb database
  • I still need to wire up the API credentials and cron job into the Ansible infrastructure playbooks
  • Fix some minor issues in the config and XMLUI themes, like removing Atmire stuff
  • The code finally builds and runs with a fresh install

2020-01-06

• Open a ticket with Atmire to request a quote for the upgrade to DSpace 6
• Last week Altmetric responded about the item that had a lower score than than its DOI
  • The score is now linked to the DOI
  • Another item that had the same problem in 2019 has now also linked to the score for its DOI
  • Another item that had the same problem in 2019 has also been fixed

2020-01-07

• Peter Ballantyne highlighted one more WLE item that is missing the Altmetric score that its DOI has
  • The DOI has a score of 259, but the Handle has no score at all
  • I tweeted the CGSpace repository link

2019-12-01

• Upgrade CGSpace (linode18) to Ubuntu 18.04:
  • Check any packages that have residual configs and purge them:
  • # dpkg -l | grep -E ‘^rc’ | awk ‘{print $2}’ | xargs dpkg -P
  • Make sure all packages are up to date and the package manager is up to date, then reboot:

# apt update && apt full-upgrade
# apt-get autoremove && apt-get autoclean
# dpkg -C
# reboot

• Peter noticed that there were 5.2 million hits on CGSpace in 2019-10 according to the Atmire usage statistics
  • I looked in the nginx logs and see 4.6 million in the access logs, and 1.2 million in the API logs:

# zcat --force /var/log/nginx/*access.log.*.gz | grep -cE "[0-9]{1,2}/Oct/2019"
4671942
# zcat --force /var/log/nginx/{rest,oai,statistics}.log.*.gz | grep -cE "[0-9]{1,2}/Oct/2019"
1277694

• So 4.6 million from XMLUI and another 1.2 million from API requests
• Let’s see how many of the REST API requests were for bitstreams (because they are counted in Solr stats):

# zcat --force /var/log/nginx/rest.log.*.gz | grep -c -E "[0-9]{1,2}/Oct/2019"
1183456 
# zcat --force /var/log/nginx/rest.log.*.gz | grep -E "[0-9]{1,2}/Oct/2019" | grep -c -E "/rest/bitstreams"
106781

• Linode emailed to say that CGSpace (linode18) had a high rate of outbound traffic for several hours this morning
• Here are the top ten IPs in the nginx XMLUI and REST/OAI logs this morning:

• Look at Bioversity’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…

2019-08-04

• Deploy ORCID identifier updates requested by Bioversity to CGSpace
• Run system updates on CGSpace (linode18) and reboot it
  • Before updating it I checked Solr and verified that all statistics cores were loaded properly…
  • After rebooting, all statistics cores were loaded… wow, that’s lucky.
• Run system updates on DSpace Test (linode19) and reboot it

2019-07-01

• Create an “AfricaRice books and book chapters” collection on CGSpace for AfricaRice
• Last month Sisay asked why the following “most popular” statistics link for a range of months in 2018 works for the CIAT community on DSpace Test, but not on CGSpace:
  • DSpace Test
  • CGSpace
• Abenet had another similar issue a few days ago when trying to find the stats for 2018 in the RTB community

2019-06-02

• Merge the Solr filterCache and XMLUI ISI journal changes to the 5_x-prod branch and deploy on CGSpace
• Run system updates on CGSpace (linode18) and reboot it

2019-06-03

• Skype with Marie-Angélique and Abenet about CG Core v2

2019-05-01

• Help CCAFS with regenerating some item thumbnails after they uploaded new PDFs to some items on CGSpace
• A user on the dspace-tech mailing list offered some suggestions for troubleshooting the problem with the inability to delete certain items
  • Apparently if the item is in the workflowitem table it is submitted to a workflow
  • And if it is in the workspaceitem table it is in the pre-submitted state
• The item seems to be in a pre-submitted state, so I tried to delete it from there:

dspace=# DELETE FROM workspaceitem WHERE item_id=74648;
DELETE 1

• But after this I tried to delete the item from the XMLUI and it is still present…
