CGSpace Notes

Documenting day-to-day work on the CGSpace repository.

  • I want to upgrade DSpace Test to DSpace 5.8 so I took a backup of its current database just in case:
$ pg_dump -b -v -o --format=custom -U dspace -f dspace-2018-07-01.backup dspace
  • During the mvn package stage on the 5.8 branch I kept getting issues with java running out of memory:
There is insufficient memory for the Java Runtime Environment to continue.

  • As the machine only has 8GB of RAM, I reduced the Tomcat memory heap from 5120m to 4096m so I could try to allocate more to the build process:
$ export JAVA_OPTS="-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Xmx1024m"
$ mvn -U -Dmirage2.on=true -Dmirage2.deps.included=false -Denv=dspacetest.cgiar.org -P \!dspace-lni,\!dspace-rdf,\!dspace-sword,\!dspace-swordv2 clean package
  • Then I stopped the Tomcat 7 service, ran the ant update, and manually ran the old and ignored SQL migrations:
$ sudo su - postgres
$ psql dspace
...
dspace=# begin;
BEGIN
dspace=# \i Atmire-DSpace-5.8-Schema-Migration.sql
DELETE 0
UPDATE 1
DELETE 1
dspace=# commit
dspace=# \q
$ exit
$ dspace database migrate ignored
  • After that I started Tomcat 7 and DSpace seems to be working, now I need to tell our colleagues to try stuff and report issues they have
