Hi Christine (or anyone),
How do we know what size our institutions falls into? I'm sure we've seen this, 
but we don't know offhand how to verify it.

Hi Alan,

There is an endpoint that provides a stream of updated records:

http://archivesspace.github.io/archivesspace/api/#get-a-stream-of-updated-records

It is there to enable the indexer to do its work, but perhaps it would work for 
your use case.

There is a window during which records can show up in the feed (60 seconds by 
default) and records in the feed will have a 'sequence' attribute. If you make 
a subsequent request with a 'last_sequence' parameter that is equal to or 
greater than the highest sequence in the feed, the api will block (not respond) 
until a new update appears or the request times out.

The records in the feed don't have any information about what date was updated.

Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Web hooks or triggers on record update
Hi ArchivesSpace community,
We're thinking of a few projects that could benefit from something like a 
webhook or a trigger when specific records are updated. For example, when an 
archival object record is edited, it could trigger a custom script that could 
update metadata in our digital asset management system. Or when a record is 
unpublished, it could trigger a custom script that would add an event record.

I haven't found any indication that such functionality exists, but I'm not an 
expert, so I'm asking. If it doesn't exist, is this something you think your 
institution might be able to use as well? If you are a developer, do you think 
it would be difficult or easy to add this to the product, either as an 
enhancement or as a plugin just for our site?

Any thoughts would be welcome!

Regards,
Alan Manifold

Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Find by ID API call

[Alan Manifold]

Thanks, Corey,
This one finally worked for me, based on using the --data-urlencode option and 
seeing what it did, along with the URL that worked for you (which included the 
host but not the http:// part).


http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/5/find_by_id/archival_objects?ark[]=ark%3A%2F%2F119460<http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/5/find_by_id/archival_objects?ark%5b%5d=ark%3A%2F%2F119460>

Embarrassingly, I was using POST instead of GET, which didn't help my testing 
of the other aspects of the find_by_id API.

I have to say that the answer here was not at all obvious. There was no 
indication in the doco that you would have to encode the ARK, although all ARKs 
will have a colon and slashes. Most of our component_id's also have slashes and 
that wasn't indicated for them, either. Perhaps it's obvious to everyone else, 
but I have no idea why we include the "[]" after "ark". I guess you can use 
multiple values or something, but there's no indication of how that is done. 
It's great to have the full doco for all the APIs, but most of it is pretty 
cryptic. A few examples of actually use of them would really go a long way. I 
guess the fact that not so many sites are using ARKs is part of the problem 
here.

In any case, thank you very much for your help. I'm on my way now and that's 
down to you.

Regards,
Alan

Subject: Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Find by ID API call

Hey Alan,

Big caveat first: we don't use ARKs where I work, so I'm flying a little blind 
here. I enabled ARKs on our testing space just to see if I could replicate your 
request. Here's what I tried and it returned the correct archival object:

curl -H "X-ArchivesSpace-Session: $SESSION" 
"https://our_api_url/repositories/2/find_by_id/archival_objects?ark[]=www.testarkurl.com/ark:/YLTAD111/51/37;resolve[]=archival_objects<https://our_api_url/repositories/2/find_by_id/archival_objects?ark%5b%5d=www.testarkurl.com/ark:/YLTAD111/51/37;resolve%5b%5d=archival_objects>"

I added an external ARK URL to the archival object and put 
www.testarkurl.com/ark:/YLTAD111/51/37<http://www.testarkurl.com/ark:/YLTAD111/51/37>
 in that field. Are you using something like this or trying to access internal 
ARKs? If it's internal, I don't have a way to test that, I'm afraid. Though it 
seems like the following requests are constructed properly:

http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/5/find_by_id/archival_objects?component_id[]=YLTAD111/51/37<http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/5/find_by_id/archival_objects?component_id%5b%5d=YLTAD111/51/37>
http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/5/find_by_id/archival_objects?ref_id[]=15a419a9464353be174f77bdc8f38874<http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/5/find_by_id/archival_objects?ref_id%5b%5d=15a419a9464353be174f77bdc8f38874>
   (our ref_ids look something like this usually: "ref36_286", that looks like 
the container_id found in an EAD export)

If you're still getting a 404 error, I might also try using the "--url-encode" 
parameter to see if that helps. Dave Mayo at Harvard pointed me in this 
direction which works great for the find_by_id endpoint for resources. Using 
that would look something like:

curl -H "X-ArchivesSpace-Session: $SESSION" -G 
http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/5/find_by_id/archival_objects 
--data-urlencode 'component_id[]=YLTAD111/51/37'

If you do find a solution, would you mind sharing it with the listserv or me? I 
wrote the API cURL and Python examples for that endpoint and I couldn't find 
anyone using ARKs to build an example from. Adding that would be the last piece 
of the puzzle for that documentation.

Hope this helps,

Corey

[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Find by ID API call

[Alan Manifold]

Hi ArchivesSpace folks,
I've been trying to get the find_by_id API call to work and haven't had any 
luck. What I really want is to be able to find archival objects by ARK, but I 
tried the other types of IDs to see if they would work and tell me something 
useful. But I can't get any of them to work. We're on version 3.2.0. I have a 
program that establishes a connection and gets a session ID, then sends off the 
API call. When the same program sends this search API, it works:

http://ourhost.com:8089/search?q=component_id:"YLTAD111/51/37"; OR 
component_id:"YLTAD111/51/38" OR component_id:"YLTAD111/51/39"&page=1

Here's what I have tried:

Hi Kyle,

Here at Anderson University we've been running our external Solr instance on 
the same server as ArchivesSpace for over a month now with no issues. That 
being said, the server receives minimal traffic so I can't attest to any volume 
related performance impacts but appears to be similar to running the embedded 
Solr (or in our case, potentially running even better than before).

If any of the larger users have looked into this I'd be interested in seeing 
what you've found.

​Thanks for this idea, Blake. I confirmed that it was the release I downloaded, 
not the source.

Alan

Is there any chance you downloaded the SOURCE rather than the RELEASE?
This is the release zip file:

Hi Alan,

You shouldn’t need to be fiddling with gems if you’re just upgrading. The 
distribution should contain all of the gems.


Cheers,

Hi ArchivesSpacers,
We’re trying to upgrade our installation from 2.5.2 to 2.7.1. We’ve run into a 
number of problems, some of which we’ve solved already by adjusting Gemfiles.

But we’ve got two problems that we haven’t been able to figure out so far. One 
is a “missing dependency” for “ContextAction” and the other is some kind of 
problem with the sassc-2.2.1 gem.

The first is a missing dependency:

ContextAction not found in packages org.mozilla.javascript; last error: cannot 
link Java class org.mozilla.javascript.ContextAction, probable missing 
dependency: org/mozilla/javascript/ContextAction : Unsupported major.minor 
version 52.0

const_missing at uri:classloader:/jruby/java/core_ext/module.rb:45

[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Switching ArchivesSpace to https when not running Apache

[Alan Manifold]

Hi ArchivesSpace list,
We’re planning to go live to the public with our AS PUI soon and wanted to 
switch it to https before we do that. We have looked at the excellent document 
on this at 
https://archivesspace.github.io/archivesspace/user/serving-archivesspace-user-facing-applications-over-https/,
 which is quite helpful.

However, we’re not currently running Apache (or Nginx) on our AS server, so 
this process doesn’t look as easy as I first thought.

Does anyone have any tips or documentation about how to start using Apache with 
ArchivesSpace? I’ve looked at the pages on “ArchivesSpace with Subdomains” and 
“ArchivesSpace over HTTPS”, which are also helpful, but they don’t address the 
bit of incorporating Apache into our setup in the first place.

We can figure it out by ourselves, but if anyone can provide doco or tips, that 
might make it a tad easier.

Regards,
Alan

[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Working with Ruby

[Alan Manifold]

Hi all,
I am new to Ruby, and have been adding some functionality to our PUI through a 
local plugin. I’m finding the testing a bit slow.

Whenever I make a change to the code or configuration files, I have to restart 
the application before I see them in effect. This generally takes 4-5 minutes 
on our server. That’s not terrible, but I wondered if there’s a way to speed up 
the process. Is there any way to avoid restarting the application each time I 
make a change, such as just recompiling a single file or something like that? 
It would save me a lot of time in my testing.

Thanks for any tips you can share.

Regards,
Alan

Hi Alan,

You ought to be able to add the resource reference to your archival object hash 
as another hash, like:

resource => {ref => "/repositories/3/resources/391”}

If that’s not working, I’d be happy to take a look at your code if you want to 
send it to me directly.

[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Using the API from perl - "Must be a JSONModel(:resource) uri (you provided a Hash)"

[Alan Manifold]

Hi all,

I'm trying to create a perl program to add archival_objects and digital_objects 
into our ArchivesSpace system. I can query the database fine, and I seem to be 
able to get to the right API, but I can't seem to find any combination that 
allows me to embed a "resource" reference into my JSON for the post call.


I have gotten a variety of errors, but they are all telling me that the way I 
have specified the "resource/ref" is invalid, for example:


'resource/ref' => 'Must be a JSONModel(:resource) uri (you provided a Hash) 
(malformed or invalid uri? check if referenced object exists.)'
?
I am assuming the real problem is that I "provided a Hash", not the "malformed 
or invalid uri", but in case it's relevant, the uri looks like this: 
"/repositories/3/resources/391".

I am defining the archival_object as a perl hash, with the various JSON 
elements as hash entries, e.g.:


my %archival_object =
(
jsonmodel_type  =>  "archival_object",
subjects=>  [],
linked_events   =>  [],
extents =>  [],
lang_materials  =>  [],
...
);

I was able to specify the "dates", "notes", and "external_ids" sections as 
arrays with a hash as their only value, and that seems to work:

dates   =>
[
{
expression  =>  $rosDate,
date_type   =>  "inclusive",
label   =>  "creation",
jsonmodel_type  =>  "date"
}
],

But I haven't been able to find any way to specify the "resource" section in 
such a way that the API recognises my "ref" value. I have tried lots of ways, 
but always get one of these errors:
?
'resource' => 'Property is required but was missing'
'resource' => 'Must be a object (you provided a String)'?
'resource/ref' => 'Must be a JSONModel(:resource) uri (you provided a Hash) 
(malformed or invalid uri? check if referenced object exists.)'???
'resource/ref' => 'Must be a JSONModel(:resource) uri (you provided a String) 
(malformed or invalid uri? check if referenced object exists.)'?
'resource/ref' => 'Must be a JSONModel(:resource) uri (you provided a Array) 
(malformed or invalid uri? check if referenced object exists.)'??
?
I can't think of any other data types, pointers, or combinations that I can 
try, and I don't know what the API is looking for. I even tried doing a search 
to get a Resource record and plugging the result directly into my 
archival_object structure, but that didn't change anything.

How can I define my archival_object structure so that it will validate? 
Unfortunately, using python or ruby in place of perl probably isn't an option. 
I'm happy to provide more information, including more of my code, but didn't 
want to spam everybody with it.
