CGSpace Notes

2017-04-02

• 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):

• 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:

2016-11-01

• Add dc.type to the output options for Atmire’s Listings and Reports module (#286)

• 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

2016-09-01

• 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)"
