Abenet said that CIP found more duplicate records in their export from AReS
- I re-opened the issue on OpenRXV where we had previously noticed this
- The shared link where the duplicates are is here: https://cgspace.cgiar.org/explorer/shared/heEOz3YBnXdK69bR2ra6
I had a call with CodeObia to discuss the work on OpenRXV
Check the results of the AReS harvesting from last night:

$ curl -s 'http://localhost:9200/openrxv-items-temp/_count?q=*&pretty'
{
  "count" : 100875,
  "_shards" : {
    "total" : 1,
    "successful" : 1,
    "skipped" : 0,
    "failed" : 0
  }
}

Set the current items index to read only and make a backup:

$ curl -X PUT "localhost:9200/openrxv-items/_settings" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d' {"settings": {"index.blocks.write":true}}'
$ curl -s -X POST http://localhost:9200/openrxv-items/_clone/openrxv-items-2021-02-01

Delete the current items index and clone the temp one to it:

$ curl -XDELETE 'http://localhost:9200/openrxv-items'
$ curl -X PUT "localhost:9200/openrxv-items-temp/_settings" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'{"settings": {"index.blocks.write": true}}'
$ curl -s -X POST http://localhost:9200/openrxv-items-temp/_clone/openrxv-items

Then delete the temp and backup:

$ curl -XDELETE 'http://localhost:9200/openrxv-items-temp'
{"acknowledged":true}%
$ curl -XDELETE 'http://localhost:9200/openrxv-items-2021-02-01'

Meeting with Peter and Abenet about CGSpace goals and progress
Test submission to DSpace via REST API to see if Abenet can fix / reject it (submit workflow?)
Get Peter a list of users who have submitted or approved on DSpace everrrrrrr, so he can remove some
Ask MEL for a dump of their types to reconcile with ours and CG Core
Need to tag ILRI collection with license!! For pre-2010 use “Other” unless a license is already there; 2010-2020 do the ilri content in batches (2010-2015: CC-BY-NC-SA; 2016-onwards: CC-BY);
- ONLY if ILRI / International Livestock Research Institute is the publisher, no journal articles, no book chapters…
I tried to export the ILRI community from CGSpace but I got an error:

$ dspace metadata-export -i 10568/1 -f /tmp/2021-02-01-ILRI.csv

I imported the production database to my local development environment and I get the same error… WTF is this?
- I was able to export another smaller community
- I filed an issue with Atmire to see if it is likely something of theirs, or if I need to ask on the dspace-tech mailing list
CodeObia sent a pull request with fixes for several issues we highlighted in OpenRXV
- I deployed the fixes on production, as they only affect minor parts of the frontend, and two of the four are working
- I sent feedback to CodeObia

2021-02-02

Communicate more with CodeObia about some fixes for OpenRXV
Maria Garruccio sent me some new ORCID iDs for Bioversity authors, as well as a correction for Stefan Burkart’s iD
I saved the new ones to a text file, combined them with the others, extracted the ORCID iDs themselves, and updated the names using resolve-orcids.py:
Then for the rest, I saved them to a text file, combined them with the others, extracted the ORCID iDs themselves, and updated the names using resolve-orcids.py:

$ cat ~/src/git/DSpace/dspace/config/controlled-vocabularies/cg-creator-id.xml /tmp/bioversity-orcid-ids.txt | grep -oE '[A-Z0-9]{4}-[A-Z0-9]{4}-[A-Z0-9]{4}-[A-Z0-9]{4}' | sort | uniq > /tmp/2021-02-02-combined-orcids.txt
$ ./ilri/resolve-orcids.py -i /tmp/2021-02-02-combined-orcids.txt -o /tmp/2021-02-02-combined-orcid-names.txt

I sorted the names and added the XML formatting in vim, then ran it through tidy:

$ tidy -xml -utf8 -m -iq -w 0 dspace/config/controlled-vocabularies/cg-creator-id.xml

Then I added all the changed names plus Stefan’s incorrect ones to a CSV and processed them with fix-metadata-values.py:

$ cat 2021-02-02-fix-orcid-ids.csv

I also looked up which of these new authors might have existing items that are missing ORCID iDs
I had to port my add-orcid-identifiers-csv.py to DSpace 6 UUIDs and I think it’s working but I want to do a few more tests because it uses a sequence for the metadata_value_id

2021-02-03

Tag forty-three items from Bioversity’s new authors with ORCID iDs using add-orcid-identifiers-csv.py:

$ cat /tmp/2021-02-02-add-orcid-ids.csv

I’m working on the CGSpace accession for Karl Rich’s Viet Nam Pig Model 2018 and I noticed his ORCID iD is missing from CGSpace
- I added it and tagged 141 items of his with the iD
I uploaded a metadata-only accession for the impact of ILRI book by John McIntire and Delia Grace to CGSpace
- The source code itself is here: https://github.com/ilri/impact-book
A little bit more work on CG Core v2

2021-02-04

Re-sync CGSpace database and Solr to DSpace Test to start a public test of CG Core v2
- Afterwards I updated Discovery and OAI:

$ time chrt -b 0 dspace index-discovery -b
$ dspace oai import -c

Attend Accenture meeting for repository managers
- Not clear what the SMO wants to get out of us
Enrico asked for some notes about our work on AReS in 2020 for CRP Livestock reporting
- Abenet and I came up with the following:

In 2020 we funded the third phase of development on the OpenRXV platform that powers AReS. This phase focused mainly on improving the search filtering, graphical visualizations, and reporting capabilities. It is now possible to create custom reports in Excel, Word, and PDF formats using a templating system. We also concentrated on making the vanilla OpenRXV platform easier to deploy and administer in hopes that other organizations would begin using it. Lastly, we identified and fixed a handful of bugs in the system. All development takes place publicly on GitHub: https://github.com/ilri/OpenRXV.

In the last quarter of 2020, ILRI conducted a briefing for nearly 100 scientists and communications staff on how to use ARes as a visualization tool for repository outputs and as a reporting tool (https://hdl.handle.net/10568/110527). Staff will begin using AReS to generate lists of their outputs to upload in the performance evaluation system to assist in their performance evaluation. The list of publications they will upload from AReS to Performax will indicate the open access status of each publication to help start discussion why some outputs are not open access given the open access policies of the CGIAR.

Call Moayad to discuss OpenRXV development
- We talked about the “reporting period” (date-based statistics) and some of the issues Abdullah is working on on GitHub
- I suggested that we offer the date-range statistics in a modal dialog with other sorting and grouping options during report generation
Peter sent me the cleaned up series that I had originally sent him in 2020-10
- I quickly applied all the deletions on CGSpace:

$ ./ilri/delete-metadata-values.py -i /tmp/2020-10-28-Series-PB.csv -db dspace -u dspace -p 'fuuu' -f dc.relation.ispartofseries -m 43

The corrected versions have a lot of encoding issues so I asked Peter to give me the correct ones so I can search/replace them:
- CIAT PublicaÃ§ao
- CIAT PublicaciÃ³n
- CIAT SÃ©rie
- CIAT SÃ©ries
- ColecciÃ³n investigaciÃ³n y desarrollo
- CTA Guias prÃ¡ticos
- CTA Guias tÃ©cnicas
- Curso de adiestramiento en producciÃ³n y utilizaciÃ³n de pastos tropicales
- Folheto TÃ©cnico
- ILRI Nota Informativa de InvestigaÃ§Ã£o
- Influencia de los actores sociales en AmÃ©rica Central
- Institutionalization of quality assurance mechanism and dissemination of top quality commercial products to increase crop yields and improve food security of smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa â€“ COMPRO-II
- Manuel pour les Banques de GÃ¨nes;1
- SistematizaciÃ³n de experiencias Proyecto ACORDAR
- StrÃ¼ngmann Forum
- UnitÃ© de Recherche
I ended up using python-ftfy to fix those very easily, then replaced them in the CSV
Then I trimmed whitespace at the beginning, end, and around the “;”, and applied the 1,600 fixes using fix-metadata-values.py:

$ ./ilri/fix-metadata-values.py -i /tmp/2020-10-28-Series-PB.csv -db dspace -u dspace -p 'fuuu' -f dc.relation.ispartofseries -t 'correct' -m 43

Help Peter debug an issue with one of Alan Duncan’s new FEAST Data reports on CGSpace
- For some reason the default policy for the item was “COLLECTION_492_DEFAULT_READ” group, which had zero members
- I changed them all to Anonymous and the item was accessible

2021-02-07

Run system updates on CGSpace (linode18), deploy latest 6_x-prod branch, and reboot the server
After the server came back up I started a full Discovery re-indexing:

$ time chrt -b 0 ionice -c2 -n7 nice -n19 dspace index-discovery -b

real    247m30.850s
user    160m36.657s
sys     2m26.050s

Regarding the CG Core v2 migration, Fabio wrote to tell me that he is not using CGSpace directly, instead harvesting via GARDIAN
- He gave me the contact of Sotiris Konstantinidis, who is the CTO at SCIO Systems and works on the GARDIAN platform
Delete the old Elasticsearch temp index to prepare for starting an AReS re-harvest:

$ curl -XDELETE 'http://localhost:9200/openrxv-items-temp'
# start indexing in AReS

2021-02-08

Finish rotating the AReS indexes after the harvesting last night:

$ curl -s 'http://localhost:9200/openrxv-items-temp/_count?q=*&pretty'
{
  "count" : 100983,

Talk to Abdullah from CodeObia about a few of the issues we filed on OpenRXV
- Verify a fix he made for the issue with spaces in template file names
- He says that the Angular expressions support should be enabled, but I tried it and couldn’t get a few simple examples working
Atmire responded to a few issues today:
- First, the one about a crash while exporting a community CSV, which appears to be a vanilla DSpace issue with a patch in DSpace 6.4
- Second, the MQM batch consumer issue, which appears to be harmless log spam in most cases and they have sent a patch that adjusts the logging as such
- Third, a version bump for CUA to fix the java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Multiple update components target the same field:solr_update_time_stamp error
I cherry-picked the patches for DS-4111 and was able to export the ILRI community finally, but the results are almost twice as many items as in the community!
- Investigating with csvcut I see there are some ids that appear up to five, six, or seven times!

$ csvcut -c id /tmp/2021-02-10-ILRI.csv | sed '1d' | wc -l
30354
$ csvcut -c id /tmp/2021-02-10-ILRI.csv | sed '1d' | sort -u | wc -l

      7 094e9e1d-09ff-40ca-a6b9-eca580936147

I added a comment to that bug to ask if this is a side effect of the patch
I started working on tagging pre-2010 ILRI items with license information, like we talked about with Peter and Abenet last week
- Due to the export bug I had to sort and remove duplicates first, then use csvgrep to filter out books and journal articles:

$ csvcut -c 'id,dc.date.issued,dc.date.issued[],dc.date.issued[en_US],dc.rights,dc.rights[],dc.rights[en],dc.rights[en_US],dc.publisher,dc.publisher[],dc.publisher[en_US],dc.type[en_US]' /tmp/2021-02-10-ILRI.csv | csvgrep -c 'dc.type[en_US]' -r '^.+[^(Journal Item|Journal Article|Book|Book Chapter)]'

I imported the CSV into OpenRefine and converted the date text values to date types so I could facet by dates before 2010:

if(diff(value,"01/01/2010".toDate(),"days")<0, true, false)

Then I filtered by publisher to make sure they were only ours:

or(
  value.contains("International Livestock Research Institute"),
  value.contains("ILRI"),
  value.contains("International Livestock Centre for Africa"),
  value.contains("ILCA"),
  value.contains("ILRAD"),
  value.contains("International Laboratory for Research on Animal Diseases")
)

I tagged these pre-2010 items with “Other” if they didn’t already have a license
I checked 2010 to 2015, and 2016 to date, but they were all tagged already!
In the end I added the “Other” license to 1,523 items from before 2010

2021-02-11

CodeObia keeps working on a few more small issues on OpenRXV
- Abdullah sent fixes for two issues but I couldn’t verify them myself so I asked him to check again
- Call with Abdullah and Yousef to discuss some issues
- We got the Angular expressions parser working…

2021-02-13

Run system updates, deploy latest 6_x-prod branch, and reboot CGSpace (linode18)
Normalize text_lang of DSpace item metadata on CGSpace:

dspace=# SELECT DISTINCT text_lang, count(text_lang) FROM metadatavalue WHERE dspace_object_id IN (SELECT uuid FROM item) GROUP BY text_lang ORDER BY count DESC;
 text_lang |  count  
-----------+---------
 en_US     | 2567413
           |    8050
 en        |    7601
           |       0
(4 rows)
dspace=# UPDATE metadatavalue SET text_lang='en_US' WHERE dspace_object_id IN (SELECT uuid FROM item);

Start a full Discovery re-indexing on CGSpace

2021-02-14

Clear the OpenRXV temp items index:

$ curl -XDELETE 'http://localhost:9200/openrxv-items-temp'

Then start a full harvesting of CGSpace in the AReS Explorer admin dashboard
Peter asked me about a few other recently submitted FEAST items that are restricted
- I checked the collection and there was an empty group there for the “default read” authorization
- I deleted the group and fixed the authorization policies for two new items manually
Upload fifteen items to CGSpace for Peter Ballantyne
Move 313 journals from series, which Peter had indicated when we were cleaning up the series last week
- I re-purposed one of my Python metadata scripts to create move-metadata-values.py
- The script reads a text file with one metadata value per line and moves them from one metadata field id to another

$ ./ilri/move-metadata-values.py -i /tmp/move.txt -db dspace -u dspace -p 'fuuu' -f 43 -t 55

2021-02-15

Check the results of the AReS Harvesting from last night:

$ curl -s 'http://localhost:9200/openrxv-items-temp/_count?q=*&pretty'
{
  "count" : 101126,
  "_shards" : {
    "total" : 1,
    "successful" : 1,
    "skipped" : 0,
    "failed" : 0
  }
}

Set the current items index to read only and make a backup:

$ curl -X PUT "localhost:9200/openrxv-items/_settings" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d' {"settings": {"index.blocks.write":true}}'
$ curl -s -X POST http://localhost:9200/openrxv-items/_clone/openrxv-items-2021-02-15

Delete the current items index and clone the temp one:

$ curl -XDELETE 'http://localhost:9200/openrxv-items'
$ curl -X PUT "localhost:9200/openrxv-items-temp/_settings" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'{"settings": {"index.blocks.write": true}}'
$ curl -s -X POST http://localhost:9200/openrxv-items-temp/_clone/openrxv-items
$ curl -XDELETE 'http://localhost:9200/openrxv-items-temp'
$ curl -XDELETE 'http://localhost:9200/openrxv-items-2021-02-15'

Call with Abdullah from CodeObia to discuss community and collection statistics reporting

2021-02-16

Linode emailed me to say that CGSpace (linode18) had a high CPU usage this afternoon
I looked in the nginx logs and found a few heavy users:
- 45.146.165.203 in Russia with user agent Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 6.1; U; cs) Presto/2.2.15 Version/10.00
- 130.255.161.231 in Sweden with user agent Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 11.1; rv:84.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/84.0
They are definitely bots posing as users, as I see they have created six thousand DSpace sessions today:

$ cat dspace.log.2021-02-16 | grep -E 'session_id=[A-Z0-9]{32}:ip_addr=45.146.165.203' | sort | uniq | wc -l
4007
$ cat dspace.log.2021-02-16 | grep -E 'session_id=[A-Z0-9]{32}:ip_addr=130.255.161.231' | sort | uniq | wc -l
2128

Ah, actually 45.146.165.203 is making requests like this:

"http://cgspace.cgiar.org:80/bitstream/handle/10568/238/Res_report_no3.pdf;jsessionid=7311DD88B30EEF9A8F526FF89378C2C5%' AND 4313=CONCAT(CHAR(113)+CHAR(98)+CHAR(106)+CHAR(112)+CHAR(113),(SELECT (CASE WHEN (4313=4313) THEN CHAR(49) ELSE CHAR(48) END)),CHAR(113)+CHAR(106)+CHAR(98)+CHAR(112)+CHAR(113)) AND 'XzQO%'='XzQO"

I purged the hits from these two using my check-spider-ip-hits.sh:

$ ./ilri/check-spider-ip-hits.sh -f /tmp/ips -p
Purging 4005 hits from 45.146.165.203 in statistics
Purging 3493 hits from 130.255.161.231 in statistics

Total number of bot hits purged: 7498

Ugh, I looked in Solr for the top IPs in 2021-01 and found a few more of these Russian IPs so I purged them too:

$ ./ilri/check-spider-ip-hits.sh -f /tmp/ips -p
Purging 27163 hits from 45.146.164.176 in statistics
Purging 19556 hits from 45.146.165.105 in statistics
Purging 15927 hits from 45.146.165.83 in statistics
Purging 8085 hits from 45.146.165.104 in statistics

Total number of bot hits purged: 70731

My god, and 64.39.99.15 is from Qualys, the domain scanning security people, who are making queries trying to see if we are vulnerable or something (wtf?)
- Looking in Solr I see a few different IPs with DNS like sn003.s02.iad01.qualys.com. so I will purge their requests too:

$ ./ilri/check-spider-ip-hits.sh -f /tmp/ips -p
Purging 3 hits from 130.255.161.231 in statistics

I tested Node.js 10 vs 12 on CGSpace (linode18) and DSpace Test (linode26) and the build times were surprising
- Node.js 10
  - linode26: [INFO] Total time: 17:07 min
  - linode18: [INFO] Total time: 19:26 min
- Node.js 12
  - linode26: [INFO] Total time: 17:14 min
  - linode18: [INFO] Total time: 19:43 min
So I guess there is no need to use Node.js 12 any time soon, unless 10 becomes end of life
Abenet asked me to add Tom Randolph’s ORCID identifier to CGSpace
I also tagged all his 247 existing items on CGSpace:

$ cat 2021-02-17-add-tom-orcid.csv 
dc.contributor.author,cg.creator.id
"Randolph, Thomas F.","Thomas Fitz Randolph: 0000-0003-1849-9877"
$ ./ilri/add-orcid-identifiers-csv.py -i 2021-02-17-add-tom-orcid.csv -db dspace -u dspace -p 'fuuu'

Test the CG Core v2 migration on DSpace Test (linode26) one last time

Start the CG Core v2 migration on CGSpace (linode18)
After deploying the latest 6_x-prod branch and running migrate-fields.sh I started a full Discovery reindex:

$ time chrt -b 0 ionice -c2 -n7 nice -n19 dspace index-discovery -b

real    311m12.617s
user    217m3.102s
sys     2m37.363s

Then update OAI:

$ dspace oai import -c
$ export JAVA_OPTS="-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Xmx2048m"

Ben Hack was asking if there is a REST API query that will give him all ILRI outputs for their new Sharepoint intranet
- I told him he can try to use something like this if it’s just something like the ILRI articles in journals collection:

https://cgspace.cgiar.org/rest/collections/8ea4b611-1f59-4d4e-b78d-a9921a72cfe7/items?limit=100&offset=0

But I don’t know if he wants the entire ILRI community, in which case he needs to get the collections recursively and iterate over them, or if his software can manage the iteration over the pages of item results using limit and offset
Help proof and upload 1095 CIFOR items to DSpace Test for Abenet
- There were a few dozen issues with author affiliations, but the metadata was otherwise very good quality
- I ran the data through the csv-metadata-quality tool nevertheless to fix some minor formatting issues
- I uploaded it to DSpace Test to check for duplicates

$ export JAVA_OPTS='-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Xmx1024m'
$ dspace metadata-import -e aorth@mjanja.ch -f /tmp/cifor.csv

The process took an hour or so!
I added colorized output to the csv-metadata-quality tool and tagged version 0.4.4 on GitHub
I updated the fields in AReS Explorer and then removed the old temp index so I can start a fresh re-harvest of CGSpace:

$ curl -XDELETE 'http://localhost:9200/openrxv-items-temp'
# start indexing in AReS
