CGSpace Notes

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

  • Replace Marissa van Epp for Rhys Bucknall in the CCAFS groups on CGSpace because Marissa no longer works at CCAFS
  • The AReS Explorer hasn’t updated its index since 2020-08-22 when I last forced it
    • I restarted it again now and told Moayad that the automatic indexing isn’t working
  • Add Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT to affiliations on CGSpace
  • Abenet told me that the general search text on AReS doesn’t get reset when you use the “Reset Filters” button
  • I filed an issue on OpenRXV to make some minor edits to the admin UI: https://github.com/ilri/OpenRXV/issues/40
  • I ran the country code tagger on CGSpace:
$ time chrt -b 0 dspace curate -t countrycodetagger -i all -r - -l 500 -s object | tee /tmp/2020-09-02-countrycodetagger.log
...
real    2m10.516s
user    1m43.953s
sys     0m15.192s
$ grep -c added /tmp/2020-09-02-countrycodetagger.log

  • I still need to create a cron job for this…
  • Sisay and Abenet said they can’t log in with LDAP on DSpace Test (DSpace 6)
    • I tried and I can’t either… but it is working on CGSpace
    • The error on DSpace 6 is:
2020-09-02 12:03:10,666 INFO  org.dspace.authenticate.LDAPAuthentication @ anonymous:session_id=A629116488DCC467E1EA2062A2E2EFD7:ip_addr=92.220.02.201:failed_login:no DN found for user aorth
  • I tried to query LDAP directly using the application credentials with ldapsearch and it works:
$ ldapsearch -x -H ldaps://AZCGNEROOT2.CGIARAD.ORG:636/ -b "dc=cgiarad,dc=org" -D "applicationaccount@cgiarad.org" -W "(sAMAccountName=me)"
  • According to the DSpace 6 docs we need to escape commas in our LDAP parameters due to the new configuration system
    • I added the commas and restarted DSpace (though technically we shouldn’t need to restart due to the new config system hot reloading configs)
    • Run all system updates on DSpace Test (linode26) and reboot it
    • After the restart LDAP login works…

  • Fix some erroneous “review status” fields that Abenet noticed on AReS
    • I used my fix-metadata-values.py and delete-metadata-values.py scripts with the following input files:
$ cat 2020-09-03-fix-review-status.csv
dc.description.version,correct

  • Start reviewing 95 items for IITA (20201stbatch)
    • I used my csv-metadata-quality tool to check and fix some low-hanging fruit first
    • This fixed a few unnecessary Unicode, excessive whitespace, invalid multi-value separator, and duplicate metadata values
    • Then I looked at the data in OpenRefine and noticed some things:
      • All issue dates use year only, but some have months in the citation so they could be more specific
      • I normalized all the DOIs to use “https://doi.org” format
      • I fixed a few AGROVOC subjects with a simple GREL: value.replace("GRAINS","GRAIN").replace("SOILS","SOIL").replace("CORN","MAIZE")
      • But there are a few more that are invalid that she will have to look at
      • I uploaded the items to DSpace Test and it was apparently successful but I get these errors to the console:

  • There are more in the DSpace log so I will raise it with Atmire immediately
