- Continue with processing the statistics-2019 Solr core with the AtomicStatisticsUpdateCLI tool on DSpace Test
- So far we’ve spent at least fifty hours to process the statistics and statistics-2019 core… wow.

- Add tests for the new
/items POST handlers to the DSpace 6.x branch of my dspace-statistics-api
- Trying to test the changes Atmire sent last week but I had to re-create my local database from a recent CGSpace dump
- During the FlywayDB migration I got an error:

- Replace Marissa van Epp for Rhys Bucknall in the CCAFS groups on CGSpace because Marissa no longer works at CCAFS
- The AReS Explorer hasn’t updated its index since 2020-08-22 when I last forced it
- I restarted it again now and told Moayad that the automatic indexing isn’t working
- Add
Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT to affiliations on CGSpace
- Abenet told me that the general search text on AReS doesn’t get reset when you use the “Reset Filters” button
- I filed an issue on OpenRXV to make some minor edits to the admin UI: https://github.com/ilri/OpenRXV/issues/40

- 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
cg.coverage.country text values
- 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)
- It implements a “force” mode too that will clear existing country codes and re-tag everything
- 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…

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

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

- Peter said that CTA is having problems submitting an item to CGSpace
- 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
- 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)

- Maria asked me to update Charles Staver’s ORCID iD in the submission template and on CGSpace, as his name was lower case before, and now he has corrected it
- I updated the fifty-eight existing items on CGSpace
- Looking into the items Udana had asked about last week that were missing Altmetric donuts:
- On the same note, the one item Abenet pointed out last week now has a donut with score of 104 after I tweeted it last week
