2017-05-01 ICARDA apparently started working on CG Core on their MEL repository They have done a few cg.* fields, but not very consistent and even copy some of CGSpace items: https://mel.cgiar.org/xmlui/handle/20.500.11766/6911?show=full https://cgspace.cgiar.org/handle/10568/73683 2017-05-02 Atmire got back about the Workflow Statistics issue, and apparently it’s a bug in the CUA module so they will send us a pull request 2017-05-04 Sync DSpace Test with database and assetstore from CGSpace Re-deploy DSpace Test with Atmire’s CUA patch for workflow statistics, run system updates, and restart the server Now I can see the workflow statistics and am able to select users, but everything returns 0 items Megan says there are still some mapped items are not appearing since last week, so I forced a full index-discovery -b Need to remember to check if the collection has more items (currently 39 on CGSpace, but 118 on the freshly reindexed DSPace Test) tomorrow: https://cgspace.

- Merge one change to CCAFS flagships that I had forgotten to remove last month (“MANAGING CLIMATE RISK”): https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/317
- Quick proof-of-concept hack to add
dc.rights
to the input form, including some inline instructions/hints:
- Remove redundant/duplicate text in the DSpace submission license
- Testing the CMYK patch on a collection with 650 items:
$ [dspace]/bin/dspace filter-media -f -i 10568/16498 -p "ImageMagick PDF Thumbnail" -v >& /tmp/filter-media-cmyk.txt

- Run the 279 CIAT author corrections on CGSpace

- Skype with Michael and Peter, discussing moving the CGIAR Library to CGSpace
- CGIAR people possibly open to moving content, redirecting library.cgiar.org to CGSpace and letting CGSpace resolve their handles
- They might come in at the top level in one “CGIAR System” community, or with several communities
- I need to spend a bit of time looking at the multiple handle support in DSpace and see if new content can be minted in both handles, or just one?
- Need to send Peter and Michael some notes about this in a few days
- Also, need to consider talking to Atmire about hiring them to bring ORCiD metadata to REST / OAI
- Filed an issue on DSpace issue tracker for the
filter-media
bug that causes it to process JPGs even when limiting to the PDF thumbnail plugin: DS-3516
- Discovered that the ImageMagic
filter-media
plugin creates JPG thumbnails with the CMYK colorspace when the source PDF is using CMYK
- Interestingly, it seems DSpace 4.x’s thumbnails were sRGB, but forcing regeneration using DSpace 5.x’s ImageMagick plugin creates CMYK JPGs if the source PDF was CMYK (see 10568/51999):
$ identify ~/Desktop/alc_contrastes_desafios.jpg

- An item was mapped twice erroneously again, so I had to remove one of the mappings manually:
dspace=# select * from collection2item where item_id = '80278';
id | collection_id | item_id
-------+---------------+---------
92551 | 313 | 80278
92550 | 313 | 80278
90774 | 1051 | 80278
(3 rows)
dspace=# delete from collection2item where id = 92551 and item_id = 80278;
DELETE 1
- Create issue on GitHub to track the addition of CCAFS Phase II project tags (#301)
- Looks like we’ll be using
cg.identifier.ccafsprojectpii
as the field name

- I checked to see if the Solr sharding task that is supposed to run on January 1st had run and saw there was an error
- I tested on DSpace Test as well and it doesn’t work there either
- I asked on the dspace-tech mailing list because it seems to be broken, and actually now I’m not sure if we’ve ever had the sharding task run successfully over all these years

- CGSpace was down for five hours in the morning while I was sleeping
- While looking in the logs for errors, I see tons of warnings about Atmire MQM:

- I see thousands of them in the logs for the last few months, so it’s not related to the DSpace 5.5 upgrade
- I’ve raised a ticket with Atmire to ask
- Another worrying error from dspace.log is:

- Testing adding ORCIDs to a CSV file for a single item to see if the author orders get messed up
- Need to test the following scenarios to see how author order is affected:
- ORCIDs only
- ORCIDs plus normal authors
- I exported a random item’s metadata as CSV, deleted all columns except id and collection, and made a new coloum called
ORCID:dc.contributor.author
with the following random ORCIDs from the ORCID registry:
0000-0002-6115-0956||0000-0002-3812-8793||0000-0001-7462-405X

- Discuss helping CCAFS with some batch tagging of ORCID IDs for their authors
- Discuss how the migration of CGIAR’s Active Directory to a flat structure will break our LDAP groups in DSpace
- We had been using
DC=ILRI
to determine whether a user was ILRI or not
- It looks like we might be able to use OUs now, instead of DCs:
$ ldapsearch -x -H ldaps://svcgroot2.cgiarad.org:3269/ -b "dc=cgiarad,dc=org" -D "admigration1@cgiarad.org" -W "(sAMAccountName=admigration1)"

- Add updated distribution license from Sisay (#259)
- Play with upgrading Mirage 2 dependencies in
bower.json
because most are several versions of out date
- Bootstrap is at 3.3.0 but upstream is at 3.3.7, and upgrading to anything beyond 3.3.1 breaks glyphicons and probably more
- bower stuff is a dead end, waste of time, too many issues
- Anything after Bootstrap 3.3.1 makes glyphicons disappear (HTTP 404 trying to access from incorrect path of
fonts
)
- Start working on DSpace 5.1 → 5.5 port:
$ git checkout -b 55new 5_x-prod
$ git reset --hard ilri/5_x-prod
$ git rebase -i dspace-5.5
