CGSpace Notes

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

September, 2017

2017-09-06

  • Linode sent an alert that CGSpace (linode18) was using 261% CPU for the past two hours

2017-09-07

  • Ask Sisay to clean up the WLE approvers a bit, as Marianne’s user account is both in the approvers step as well as the group

  • Delete 58 blank metadata values from the CGSpace database:
dspace=# delete from metadatavalue where resource_type_id=2 and text_value='';
DELETE 58
  • I also ran it on DSpace Test because we’ll be migrating the CGIAR Library soon and it would be good to catch these before we migrate
  • Run system updates and restart DSpace Test
  • We only have 7.7GB of free space on DSpace Test so I need to copy some data off of it before doing the CGIAR Library migration (requires lots of exporting and creating temp files)
  • I still have the original data from the CGIAR Library so I’ve zipped it up and sent it off to linode18 for now
  • sha256sum of original-cgiar-library-6.6GB.tar.gz is: bcfabb52f51cbdf164b61b7e9b3a0e498479e4c1ed1d547d32d11f44c0d5eb8a
  • Start doing a test run of the CGIAR Library migration locally
  • Notes and todo checklist here for now: https://gist.github.com/alanorth/3579b74e116ab13418d187ed379abd9c
  • Create pull request for Phase I and II changes to CCAFS Project Tags: #336
  • We’ve been discussing with Macaroni Bros and CCAFS for the past month or so and the list of tags was recently finalized
  • There will need to be some metadata updates — though if I recall correctly it is only about seven records — for that as well, I had made some notes about it in 2017-07, but I’ve asked for more clarification from Lili just in case
