<li>Help CCAFS with regenerating some item thumbnails after they uploaded new PDFs to some items on CGSpace</li>
<li>A user on the dspace-tech mailing list offered some suggestions for troubleshooting the problem with the inability to delete certain items
<ul>
<li>Apparently if the item is in the <code>workflowitem</code> table it is submitted to a workflow</li>
<li>And if it is in the <code>workspaceitem</code> table it is in the pre-submitted state</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The item seems to be in a pre-submitted state, so I tried to delete it from there:</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>dspace=# DELETE FROM workspaceitem WHERE item_id=74648;
DELETE 1
</code></pre><ul>
<li>But after this I tried to delete the item from the XMLUI and it is <em>still</em> present&hellip;</li>

<li>I checked IITA&rsquo;s 259 Feb 14 records from last month for duplicates using Atmire&rsquo;s Duplicate Checker on a fresh snapshot of CGSpace on my local machine and everything looks good</li>
<li>I am now only waiting to hear from her about where the items should go, though I assume Journal Articles go to IITA Journal Articles collection, etc&hellip;</li>
<li>Looking at the other half of Udana&rsquo;s WLE records from 2018-11
<ul>
<li>I finished the ones for Restoring Degraded Landscapes (RDL), but these are for Variability, Risks and Competing Uses (VRC)</li>
<li>I did the usual cleanups for whitespace, added regions where they made sense for certain countries, cleaned up the DOI link formats, added rights information based on the publications page for a few items</li>
<li>Most worryingly, there are encoding errors in the abstracts for eleven items, for example:</li>
<li>68.15% � 9.45 instead of 68.15% ± 9.45</li>
<li>2003�2013 instead of 2003–2013</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I think I will need to ask Udana to re-copy and paste the abstracts with more care using Google Docs</li>

<li>DSpace Test had crashed at some point yesterday morning and I see the following in <code>dmesg</code>:</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>[Tue Jul 31 00:00:41 2018] Out of memory: Kill process 1394 (java) score 668 or sacrifice child
[Tue Jul 31 00:00:41 2018] Killed process 1394 (java) total-vm:15601860kB, anon-rss:5355528kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:0kB
[Tue Jul 31 00:00:41 2018] oom_reaper: reaped process 1394 (java), now anon-rss:0kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:0kB
</code></pre><ul>
<li>Judging from the time of the crash it was probably related to the Discovery indexing that starts at midnight</li>
<li>From the DSpace log I see that eventually Solr stopped responding, so I guess the <code>java</code> process that was OOM killed above was Tomcat&rsquo;s</li>
<li>I&rsquo;m not sure why Tomcat didn&rsquo;t crash with an OutOfMemoryError&hellip;</li>
<li>Anyways, perhaps I should increase the JVM heap from 5120m to 6144m like we did a few months ago when we tried to run the whole CGSpace Solr core</li>
<li>The server only has 8GB of RAM so we&rsquo;ll eventually need to upgrade to a larger one because we&rsquo;ll start starving the OS, PostgreSQL, and command line batch processes</li>
<li>I ran all system updates on DSpace Test and rebooted it</li>
