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

2016-11-02

• Migrate DSpace Test to DSpace 5.5 (notes)
• Run all updates on DSpace Test and reboot the server
• Looks like the OAI bug from DSpace 5.1 that caused validation at Base Search to fail is now fixed and DSpace Test passes validation! (#63)
• Indexing Discovery on DSpace Test took 332 minutes, which is like five times as long as it usually takes
• At the end it appeared to finish correctly but there were lots of errors right after it finished:

• DSpace is still up, and a few minutes later I see the default DSpace indexer is still running
• Sure enough, looking back before the first one finished, I see output from both indexers interleaved in the log:

• I will raise a ticket with Atmire to ask them

• After re-deploying and re-indexing I didn't see the same issue, and the indexing completed in 85 minutes, which is about how long it is supposed to take

• Horrible one liner to get Linode ID from certain Ansible host vars:

$ grep -A 3 contact_info * | grep -E "(Orth|Sisay|Peter|Daniel|Tsega)" | awk -F'-' '{print $1}' | grep linode | uniq | xargs grep linode_id

• I noticed some weird CRPs in the database, and they don't show up in Discovery for some reason, perhaps the :
• I'll export these and fix them in batch:

dspace=# \copy (select distinct text_value, count(*) from metadatavalue where metadata_field_id=230 group by text_value order by count desc) to /tmp/crp.csv with csv;
COPY 22

• Test running the replacements:

$ ./fix-metadata-values.py -i /tmp/CRPs.csv -f cg.contributor.crp -t correct -m 230 -d dspace -u dspace -p 'fuuu'

• Add AMR to ILRI subjects and remove one duplicate instance of IITA in author affiliations controlled vocabulary (#288)

• Atmire's Listings and Reports module seems to be broken on DSpace 5.5

• I've filed a ticket with Atmire
