Upgrade CGSpace (linode18) to Ubuntu 18.04:
- Check any packages that have residual configs and purge them:
- # dpkg -l | grep -E ‘^rc’ | awk ‘{print $2}’ | xargs dpkg -P
- Make sure all packages are up to date and the package manager is up to date, then reboot:

# apt update && apt full-upgrade
# apt-get autoremove && apt-get autoclean
# dpkg -C
# reboot

Take some backups:

# dpkg -l > 2019-12-01-linode18-dpkg.txt
# tar czf 2019-12-01-linode18-etc.tar.gz /etc

Then check all third-party repositories in /etc/apt to see if everything using “xenial” has packages available for “bionic” and then update the sources:
# sed -i ‘s/xenial/bionic/’ /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list
Pause the Uptime Robot monitoring for CGSpace
Make sure the update manager is installed and do the upgrade:

# apt install update-manager-core
# do-release-upgrade

After the upgrade finishes, remove Java 11, force the installation of bionic nginx, and reboot the server:

# apt purge openjdk-11-jre-headless
# apt install 'nginx=1.16.1-1~bionic'
# reboot

After the server comes back up, remove Python virtualenvs that were created with Python 3.5 and re-run certbot to make sure it's working:

# rm -rf /opt/eff.org/certbot/venv/bin/letsencrypt
# rm -rf /opt/ilri/dspace-statistics-api/venv
# /opt/certbot-auto

Clear Ansible's fact cache and re-run the playbooks to update the system's firewalls, SSH config, etc
Altmetric finally responded to my question about Dublin Core fields
- They shared a list of fields they use for tracking, but it only mentions HTML meta tags, and not fields considered when harvesting via OAI
- Anyways, there might be some areas we can improve on the HTML meta tags, if I look at one item with a DOI, ISSN, etc I see that we could at least add status (Open Access) and journal title
- I merged a pull request into the 5_x-prod branch to add status and journal title to the XHTML meta tags

Raise the issue of old, low-quality thumbnails with Peter and the CGSpace team
- I suggested that we move manually uploaded thumbnails from the ORIGINAL bundle to the THUMBNAIL bundle
- Also replace old thumbnails where an item is available on Slideshare or YouTube because those are easy to get new, high-quality thumbnails for
Continue testing CG Core v2 implementation on DSpace Test
- Compare the OAI QDC representation of a few items on CGSpace vs DSpace Test:

$ http 'https://cgspace.cgiar.org/oai/request?verb=GetRecord&metadataPrefix=oai_dc&identifier=oai:cgspace.cgiar.org:10568/104030' > /tmp/cgspace-104030.xml
$ http 'https://dspacetest.cgiar.org/oai/request?verb=GetRecord&metadataPrefix=oai_dc&identifier=oai:cgspace.cgiar.org:10568/104030' > /tmp/dspacetest-104030.xml

The DSpace Test ones actually now capture the DOI, where the CGSpace doesn't…
And the DSpace Test one doesn't include review status as dc.description, but I don't think that's an important field

Peter noticed that there were about seventy items on CGSpace that were marked as private
- Some have been withdrawn, but I extracted a list of the forty-eight that were not:

dspace=# \COPY (SELECT handle, owning_collection FROM item, handle WHERE item.discoverable='f' AND item.in_archive='t' AND handle.resource_id = item.item_id) to /tmp/2019-12-04-CGSpace-private-items.csv WITH CSV HEADER;
COPY 48

Give presentation about CG Core v2 to the MEL Developers’ Retreat in Nairobi, Kenya (via Skype)
Send some pull requests to the cg-core schema repository:

Enrico noticed that the AReS Explorer on CGSpace (linode18) was down
- I only see HTTP 502 in the nginx logs on CGSpace… so I assume it's something wrong with the AReS server
- I ran all system updates on the AReS server (linode20) and rebooted it
- After rebooting the Explorer was accessible again

Update PostgreSQL JDBC driver to version 42.2.9 in Ansible playbooks
- Deploy on DSpace Test (linode19) to test before deploying on CGSpace in a few days
Altmetric responded to my question about the WLE item that has a lower score than its DOI
- They say that they will “reprocess” the item “before Christmas”

Post message to Yammer about good practices for thumbnails on CGSpace
- On the topic of thumbnails, I'm thinking we might want to force regenerate all PDF thumbnails on CGSpace since we upgraded it to Ubuntu 18.04 and got a new ghostscript…
More discussion about report formats for AReS
Peter noticed that the Atmire reports weren't showing any statistics before 2019
- I checked and indeed Solr had an issue loading some core last time it was started
- I restarted Tomcat three times before all cores came up successfully
While I was restarting the Tomcat service I upgraded the PostgreSQL JDBC driver to version 42.2.9, which had been deployed on DSpace Test earlier this week

Visit CodeObia office to discuss next phase of OpenRXV/AReS development
- We discussed using CSV instead of Excel for tabular reports
  - OpenRXV should only have “simple” reports with Dublin Core fields
  - AReS should have this as well as a customized “extended” report that has CRPs, Subjects, Sponsors, etc from CGSpace
- We discussed using RTF instead of Word for graphical reports

2019-12-17

Start filing GitHub issues for the reporting features on OpenRXV and AReS
- I created an issue for the “simple” tabular reports on OpenRXV GitHub (#29)
- I created an issue for the “extended” tabular reports on AReS GitHub (#8)
- I created an issue for “simple” text reports on the OpenRXV GitHub (#30)
- I created an issue for “extended” text reports on the AReS GitHub (#9)
I looked into creating RTF documents from HTML in Node.js and there is a library called html-to-rtf that works well, but doesn't support images
Export a list of all investors (dc.description.sponsorship) for Peter to look through and correct:

dspace=# \COPY (SELECT DISTINCT text_value as "dc.contributor.sponsor", count(*) FROM metadatavalue WHERE resource_type_id = 2 AND metadata_field_id = 29 GROUP BY text_value ORDER BY count DESC LIMIT 1500) to /tmp/2019-12-17-investors.csv WITH CSV HEADER;
COPY 643

2019-12-18

Apply the investor corrections and deletions from Peter on CGSpace:

$ ./fix-metadata-values.py -i /tmp/2019-12-17-investors-fix-112.csv -db dspace -u dspace -p 'fuuu' -f dc.description.sponsorship -m 29 -t correct -d
$ ./delete-metadata-values.py -i /tmp/2019-12-17-investors-delete-68.csv -db dspace -u dspace -p 'fuuu' -m 29 -f dc.description.sponsorship -d

Peter asked about the “Open Government Licence 3.0” that is used by some items
- I notice that it exists in SPDX as UGL-UK-3.0 so I created a GitHub issue to add this to our controlled vocabulary (#439)
- I only see two in our database that use this for now, so I will update them:

dspace=# SELECT text_value FROM metadatavalue WHERE resource_type_id=2 AND metadata_field_id=53 AND text_value LIKE '%Open%';
         text_value          
-----------------------------
 Open Government License 3.0
 Open Government License 3.0
(2 rows)
dspace=# UPDATE metadatavalue SET text_value='OGL-UK-3.0' WHERE resource_type_id=2 AND metadata_field_id=53 AND text_value LIKE '%Open Government License 3.0%';
UPDATE 2

I created a pull request to add the license and merged it to the 5_x-prod branch (#440)
Add three new CCAFS Phase II project tags to CGSpace (#441)
Linode said DSpace Test (linode19) had an outbound traffic rate of 73Mb/sec for the last two hours
- I see some Russian bot active in nginx's access logs:

# cat /var/log/nginx/access.log /var/log/nginx/access.log.1 | grep -c MegaIndex.ru 
27320

I see they did check robots.txt and their requests are only going to XMLUI item pages… so I guess I just leave them alone
Peter wrote to ask why this one WLE item does not have an Altmetric attention score, but the DOI does
- I tweeted the item just in case, but Peter said that he already did it yesterday
- The item was added six months ago…
- The DOI has an Altmetric score of 259, but for the Handle it is HTTP 404!
- I emailed Altmetric support
