Re: [Dspace-tech] Hide 4 collections in collection-list.xsl

[Barnes, Hugh]

Again, I have no test environment to confirm this, but you should be able to 
more simply suppress specific  elements by creating a more specific 
template which does nothing (i.e. is empty).

Instead of helix84’s template, add this template where it is appropriate (for 
customisations to go):

 

Note that this would have the side-effect of removing the HTML comments 
(invisible) from the output. I doubt it, but that could have other consequences 
(?).

If you wanted a more robust matching pattern, like the "contains 'Formulari' in 
the title" you coded, you'd need to specify an XPath for that expression from 
the context of . I can't even provide you with a guess for that, 
as I have no source XML document example. It will certainly be a long 
expression and may not even be possible.

Hello,

you can't do it by overriding that template, that's out the scope of what it 
matches. You can do it this way:

And change the following condition

Re: [Dspace-tech] handles

[Pottinger, Hardy J.]

Hi, Matt, while the schema diagram found in the documentation implies that
there's a field in each table for handle[1], the handle table actually
holds all the data you seek. The column RESOURCE_TYPE_ID indicates what
sort of thing the handle points to (2=item, 3=collection, 4=community [2])
and RESOURCE_ID is the ID of the object in question. So, SELECT
HANDLE,RESOURCE_ID FROM HANDLE WHERE RESOURCE_TYPE_ID=4 would get you the
matrix of handle to community IDs, similarly, SELECT HANDLE,RESOURCE_ID
FROM HANDLE WHERE RESOURCE_TYPE_ID=3 would get you the matrix of handle to
collection Ids, and so on.

A slight change in the 'community' query --resource_type_id for
communities is 4 [1]

SELECT
h.handle,
c.name
FROM
(
(SELECT resource_id, handle FROM handle WHERE resource_type_id=4) as h JOIN
(SELECT community_id, name FROM community) as c ON
h.resource_id = c.community_id

Re: [Dspace-tech] handles

[Lighton Phiri]

You need to join handle table with the collection and/or community
tables.  Just include a WHERE clause in either one of the queries
below..

COLLECTION

SELECT
h.handle,
c.name
FROM
(
(SELECT resource_id, handle FROM handle WHERE resource_type_id=3) as h JOIN
(SELECT collection_id, name FROM collection) as c ON
h.resource_id = c.collection_id
);


COMMUNITY

SELECT
h.handle,
c.name
FROM
(
(SELECT resource_id, handle FROM handle WHERE resource_type_id=3) as h JOIN
(SELECT community_id, name FROM community) as c ON
h.resource_id = c.community_id
);

How do I get the handle for communities and collections, providing I

that links the two in the database.

[Dspace-tech] 1.7.2 web.xml getting randomly overwritten

[Matthew McKinley]

Hi all,

We've been having a problem with webapps/xmlui/WEB-INF/web.xml being
overwritten randomly with the default "welcome to Tomcat!" page. It only
seems to happen about once a month but we can't predict it and it makes our
entire DSpace instance inaccessible until we can replace web.xml.

Does anyone know what's going on? I tried googling and found similar Tomcat
errors but for programs other than DSpace.

We're running dspace 1.7.2 with Tomcat 6

I also found these in the logs from (when I am guessing) the overwrite
happened:

Hi Mike,

yes, the cleanup script deletes bitstreams which are marked as deleted='t'.

I wouldn't have any worries about running it, it works just fine.

Tip: run it with the -v parameter to see which files it's currently deleting.

Hi All,

Please note that we solved the handle problem, as you indicated the problem was 
mostly due to firewall blocking the ports, another problem was certain process 
that was using similar ports with handle server, but it has been resolved when 
we killed the process and remained with one process for handle server.

Thanks a lot for giving your thoughts in solving this problem.

Also check that UDP is also open on the campus firewall in addition to TCP.

[Dspace-tech] Assetstore clean-up? Advice/reassurance/gotchas?

[Michael White]

Hi,

Running DSpace v1.6.2 (JSPUI).

Our DSpace server ran out of disk space "unexpectedly" (as we thought we had 
allowed for substantial growth) and I have now determined it is because of a 
huge amount of "orphaned" content in our Assetstore.

Looking at our bitstream table, there are 38,488 rows but 22,287 of them are 
marked as "deleted=true".

I have determined that this "orphaned content" is a result of the integration 
between our CRIS system (Converis) and DSpace - each time a Publication record 
(that has full text attached and that has already been exported to DSpace) is 
updated in our CRIS it updates the corresponding record in DSpace - only it 
does this by deleting the existing record and creating a new one with the same 
handle, which results in the files belonging to the deleted record lying around 
in the Assetstore as orphaned bitstreams.

So, I've been reading up in the manual, and I note the existence of the 
"/dspace/bin/cleanup" script which I believe will resolve this problem by 
deleting the "old" rows from the bitstream table and the corresponding files in 
the assetstore (?).

However, before I run this and potentially muck everything up, I was hoping 
that someone could confirm that this script will do what I'm after, and that it 
will be able to handle such a "large" cleanup? And if there are any other 
gotchas or advice relating to this that anyone out there can offer?

I'll backup the assetstore and DB before doing anything, but any advice or 
reassurance would be most welcome as I'm obviously nervous about running 
something that could, potentially, do more harm than good :-).

Cheers,

Mike

P.S. If there is anyone else out there with an integration between Converis and 
DSpace, you might also want to look into this!

[Dspace-tech] Database questions

[Wellaway, Ian]

Hi,

We're doing a database review and I wondered if one of the Dspace team could 
answer the following Qs:


1.What databases are supported by your product?


Oracle/Postgres




2.For new installations what database do you generally recommend (does this 
differ for local and hosted or cloud installations)?







3.What database do you use for primary development of your product?







4.Do you have any plans to change your primary development database (if 
yes, please give details)?







5.Where your product is supported on multiple databases, does client 
feedback indicate differences in performance or resilience between them (if 
yes, please give details)?







6.Do you have a strategy or policy for adopting new versions of a database?







7.Do you have a strategy or policy for discontinuing support for old 
versions of a database?







8.Any additional comments that might assist us with formulating our 
database strategy?





Thanks

Ian

[Dspace-tech] DSpace Futures mtg notes & next steps

[Valorie Hollister]

Thanks to those in the community who participated in the recent calls on the 
potential DSpace Futures initiatives on the REST API and DSpace and Hydra.

Here is the link to the notes from the calls: 
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DSpace+Futures   

We invite everyone in the community to add their feedback in the comments 
section at the bottom of the either of the notes pages -- and if you have other 
use cases for a REST API feel free to add them to the use case grid 
(https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DSpace+Futures+REST+API+Use+Cases). 

The meetings affirmed there is a lot of interest in the community in pursuing 
both a REST API and DSpace and Hydra. The next step is to have the individuals 
or institutions formally identify their willingness to be a part of the 
initiatives. To do so you may either let us know via email or on the wiki page 
(https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DSpace+Futures). Each initiative 
also needs a person from the community to take the lead. To clarify how this 
will work, we have outlined below the various roles. 


ROLES

Lead / Co-Leads
The initiative "lead" would help to convene regular meetings amongst all 
interested participants and developers.
Would help to build consensus around use cases and requirements
Would strive to keep the initiative moving forward.
The role is an "initiative management" role. The individual(s) need not be 
technical.
Steering Committee (optional)
Ideally, a committee would be formed to help support the "lead" in the goals of 
building consensus and ensuring the initiative stays on track.
Again, committee members need not be technical, but should have a good grasp of 
the problem at hand.
Developer Team
Would help to develop, test and release the actual code
Would communicate directly with the Lead and/or Steering Committee around use 
cases and requirements
Ideally, each developer would have approval from their workplace to spend a 
percentage of their time on the initiative
Ideally, at least one existing DSpace Committer would be on this team.
DuraSpace
Would attend regular meetings and contribute to consensus building 
Would offer perspective from other initiatives and projects, and help ensure 
cross-communication between initiatives and with the DSpace Committer Team 
Would provide necessary infrastructure: conference line, wiki space, JIRA, 
GitHub, etc.
Provide administrative support for any fund raising required
Provide and contribute to communication channels for project awareness, status, 
etc.

We look forward to helping the community move these initiatives forward!

[Dspace-tech] Hide 4 collections in collection-list.xsl

[M. Àngels Pulido]

  
  
Hello everybody,

  
I work with
Dspace
1.7.2 and Mirage theme.
I need to hide 4 collections
  that have the following
names and handles:

  X - Formulari -
Llibres
(http://dspace.uvic.cat:/xmlui/handle/10854/1945)
X - Formulari - Capítols de llibres
(http://dspace.uvic.cat:/xmlui/handle/10854/1946)
X - Formulari - Article de revista
(http://dspace.uvic.cat:/xmlui/handle/10854/2040)
X - Formulari - Conferències, Proceedings, Pòsters
de Congressos no publicats
http://dspace.uvic.cat:/xmlui/handle/10854/2041)

  

  In the file
collection-list.xsl, I created
  this
code 
  that
follows by which I have succeeded
in eliminating the title, "[",
  number of items, etc.

Please
  see:
http://dspace.uvic.cat:/xmlui/handle/10854/2
 
But... I do not know
  how
to remove the
"points" (·) from the list
only for these four collections.
  

  Can anyone help me, please ?
  

Thanks in advance.

  Sorry for my
inexperience in programming
  xsl :-(
