Re: [Dspace-tech] Getting started with DSpace

2012-02-05 Thread Allen Lam

Under Current Release,
DSpace 1.8.1 can be downloaded from the files area in SourceForge (Zip) 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dspace/files/DSpace%20Stable/1.8.0/ or 
via SVN http://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/dspace/tags/dspace-1.8.0/.


DSpace is a regular java webapp that can run on a notebook PC to a 
full-blown powerful server.

Hardware requirement depends on
- your expected number of active users
- your expected acceptable speed in browsing the IR
- your expected total size of data and document files to store

In general, the requirement of dspace is similar to that of a regular 
web server.

Dear Sirs/Madams

I am Rahul Kumar Soni, a 5th senior undergraduate student at Indian School

install DSpace and I have been given the responsibility to look for all
technical requirements. Though, I read a lot about DSpace but still have
some queries hovering in my mind. Thus, I would request you to please
provide information regarding following aspects:

1. DSpace is free, how can I get its latest full version.
http://www.dspace.org/quick-start-guide shows that a demo version will last
for 1 hour only. Please clarify.
2. What are hardware requirements for installing DSpace as an institutional
repository.

Sorry for late reply. Try writing the xml like that:

 The way I see it, it is saying that it found the Title filed in the XML

Re: [Dspace-tech] Question about replacement of special characters in XML

2010-12-30 Thread Allen Lam

Hi Sue,

It is not necessary to convert all chars into html reference, except for 
a few special chars not usable in xml.

All you need is to define and save the xml file in utf-8.

Appended an example file with some special chars in its original form. 
Open it in a browser.

(don't know can this mailing list retain the appended file)

abend when it finds a symbol we haven’t coded for and we’re going to have to 
keep changing it to replace new symbols.

  I did some Googling today, trying to find an already-existing JAVA method

that I don’t have to write one myself, but so far have not found one.  Does 
anyone know of one?

Re: [Dspace-tech] Limiting Searches

 Hi George,

Our dspace instance has a type indexing that can be searched.
I did put the type-search options in a separated page -

In the Advanced search there is no type drop down, but there is a 
custom made language drop down.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Metadata appearing twice

2010-08-04 Thread Allen Lam

Hi Koushik,

I usually like to separate queries of inspecting data from queries of 
deleting data, for the sake of playing safe.


Try this.

select distinct *
from metadatavalue m1, metadatavalue m2
where m1.item_id=m2.item_id
and m1.metadata_field_id=m2.metadata_field_id
and m1.text_value=m2.text_value
and m1.metadata_value_id!=m2.metadata_value_id
order by m1.metadata_field_id


I would run this query in a program.
for each result row,
compare the m1.place and m2.place values,
then write down, to file, the metadata_value_id that carries a bigger 
place value


There shall be duplication of IDs in the list.

In a separate operation,
read IDs from the file,
put IDs in a Set (or similar hash structure) to filter away duplicates.
Finally, for each unique to-delete ID,
delete from metadatavalue where metadata_value_id=[xxx]

I coined out the above query in a coffee time. It is not tested in the 
field. Someone can improve it to prevent duplicate outputs.


You may like to fully check the list before executing delete, to assure 
you are not killing something that deserve to stay.

Allen Lam.

Hello Allen,
Thanks a lot for the guide. Here is what further investigation has 
unearthed -
1 This duplicate metadata issue doesn't occur with new submissions. 
For this installation, the DB was copied from an earlier version. It 
is only with these old items that the duplicate metadata entries show up.
2 The problem is in the DB itself. In the metadatavalue table, for 
each item_id there are duplicate entries for each metadata. It looks 
something like this -


 select * from metadatavalue where item_id=1000;

 metadata_value_id | item_id | metadata_field_id |

Do you have a suggestion exactly how this can be solved? I am not very

If it is not the cause of the problem..., I don't know. Please

OK. The next step is to remove the duplicate entries in the

Re: [Dspace-tech] Publishers' policies in dspace

2010-07-30 Thread Allen Lam

Hi Nabonita,

Thanks for appreciation. That publisher policies function is a custom 
webapp built with custom servlets. It has its own independent database 
outside dspace's database. The publisher and journal data are not coming 
from dspace. They come from our staff effort to collect from various 
sources including SHERPA/RoMEO, DOAJ, and also inquiry results with some 
publishers.


The pages looks harmonious with other dspace pages because they are 
using the same dspace display template.


I am putting the source code of this webapp alongside with dspace source 
codes, so that when we repackage dspace src, the custom webapp is 
packaged and deployed with dspace together.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Need ur help regarding browse by type

2010-07-16 Thread Allen Lam

Dear Amjad,

Here is a brief list of how our dspace instance, HKU Scholars Hub, 
prepared this Browse by Type function.


1. Each item should have a dc.type value. The values are controlled 
unique words.


2. In dspace.cfg, add dc.type into one of the search.index list
(search.index.1, search.index.2, etc)

3. Run index-init

4. Prepare some dspace search URLs, write them into links for users.
e.g. in our dspace instance we have a link 
/simple-search?query=(type:Journal) for searching journal items
Consult the dspace help page for the format of the query string. This 
help page is supposed to help your users.


5. That's it. Our Browse by Type is actually a result of Search by 
Type. We predefined the search and users will get a list by clicking 
into a link.


Simple, easy way to introduce additional aspects to classify and display 
items.

Hope you find it useful.

Best,
Allen Lam.

Re: [Dspace-tech] [Dspace-general] Storage of documents

2010-07-14 Thread Allen Lam

Hi Amjad,

Dspace is working in the application layer, while RAID is much close to 
layers about hardware and OS.

There is no much relationship between them.

In short, if your OS supports RAID, dspace can benefit from this feature.

Cheers,
Allen Lam.

A user typed in an incorrect URL and brought about this error.

You can do nothing as long as users can access dspace services normally.

If you hate getting this kind of exception reports causing by incorrect 
URLs, you may wish to find a programmer to fix your source code.

It allows communities to have sub-communities, and

Re: [Dspace-tech] Batch import metadata help needed

2010-05-24 Thread Allen Lam

Hi Renata,

It seems you are missing one important step before batch import: to 
rewrite your csv file into xml files in dublin core format.


There are existing tools to generate the needed xml files from some sources.
These tools sometimes are called converters, transformers, crosswalks, 
or csv2dc, etc. Do some searching.

As the tools are pre-built, they may or may not fully meet your requirement.

If in-house programmers are available writing a custom-made one is not 
too difficult, and gives perfect results.


Also remember that the xml files and other associated files needs to be 
put in suitable folders in a rigidly defined structure. Consult the 
dspace manual about this requirement.

Allen Lam.

Dear dspace-tech list;
I am new to the dspace world and need some basic help.

This is what I am trying to do:
I have exported over a 1000 records from the library management system 
into a csv format and would like to batch import these records (no 
attachments here) into the dspace.


I found some documents on the wiki but I seem to miss the initial 
starting point.


I have created the collection and the fields that will match the 
fields in my csv file.
Then after creating a collection I go to the Import metadata and 
select the file to load it - but I got the error message:

*An unknown error has occurred*

I just have a feeling that I am missing the crucial step; do I need to 
have a separate plug-in installed?


We are on Dspace 1.6.0.

Sorry for asking a stupid question but I thought this would be a very 
time-consuming investigation for me while being an easy answer for an 
expert.


If anyone has done something similar I would appreciate if you could 
share your procedures.


Many thanks,

Re: [Dspace-tech] One Bitstream in Multiple DSpace Items?

Hi Stacy,

Yes, it is perfectly possible.
You have to work directly on the database. You need to insert a row in 
item2bundle table, marking down the bundle_id (containing the bitstream) 
and the item_id (of the extra item that you want to have the same 
bitstream).

Re: [Dspace-tech] FW: Field names in DSpace

2010-04-19 Thread Allen Lam
Hi Virginia,

Sorry we do not have such a modified version.
We've modified that piece of source code a lot but not in the way you want.

We prefer the original dc.* field names in the full metadata display, 
like this:
http://hub.hku.hk/handle/123456789/55831?mode=full

The render() method already carries all sample codes you need to do the 
label translation.
Look at somewhere around...
label = I18nUtil.getMessage(metadata. + );

Get a java programmer. He should be able to implement it in the 
renderFull() method without much difficulty.
Hope this helps.

Allen Lam.

Hi Daniel,

- Try restart tomcat. If it does not help...
- Check if your dspace admin has privilege to write files into your 
[dspace.dir]/config directory.

The top news and sidebar news data is written into that config folder.
Check the file date of news-top.html. Does it remain unchanged after you 
edit the top news? If yes, write-privilege is the problem.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Browse by Author/Subject in Chinese

2010-03-22 Thread Allen Lam
Hi Hayden,

In our case, for items having chinese author names, there are usually 
pinyin or various kinds of latinized representation of the names in the 
record. All names are naturally ordered, i.e. A-Z list first and then 
the chinese names. So you'll see surnames Lee, then Li, then inside the 
chinese block there is 李.

Our IR is open to the public. You are welcome to click into each section 
and page to see how the rows are listed.

Best,
Allen Lam.

 Thanks Allen. If HKU is satisfied with natural ordering then it should 
 be more than sufficient for our project as well.

 Are you handling pinyin, or latinized, names as well within your author

 they sorted on the screen?

 Hi Hayden,

 Part of our dspace items are having chinese titles and chinese author names.
 We do not have special ordering for any specific languages so that
 chinese texts are ordered in their natural ordering.
 We are storing data in UTF-8. The meaning of natural is that when each
 char (in english or chinese or any languages) of a string of text is
 interpreted as an integer value, the strings of integers are ordered
 from small to big.

 For example, a list of chinese names are naturally ordered like that:

 何子雅
 何存德
 何存邦
 何學儉
 何學強
 何宏德
 何宗憲
 何宗義
 何定邦
 何宛珊

 because their numerical values are that:

 20309 23376 38597
 20309 23384 24503
 20309 23384 37030
 20309 23416 20745
 20309 23416 24375
 20309 23439 24503
 20309 23447 25010
 20309 23447 32681
 20309 23450 37030
 20309 23451 29642

 It is subjective to define what is the correct order. I feel the
 natural ordering is correct enough for our use.

 You can re-define the ordering by providing information of stroke,
 binary or phonetic for each string of text you want to order in dspace.
 It means defining extra dc tags and supplying extra metadatavalues when
 you submit each item.

 Best,
 Allen Lam.

It is subjective to define what is the correct order. I feel the 
natural ordering is correct enough for our use.

You can re-define the ordering by providing information of stroke, 
binary or phonetic for each string of text you want to order in dspace. 
It means defining extra dc tags and supplying extra metadatavalues when 
you submit each item.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Items in more than one collection

2010-03-04 Thread Allen Lam




Hi Claudia,

Thanks for reminding. I forgot there is that button. It has been unused
for a long time. Here's is the reason.

It is author-oriented. Very often we find that this mapping tool cannot
satisfy our needs.
It requires admin to type in an author name and then pick out items
from a list.
But the search is not intelligent enough - it is case-sensitive; it
needs a precise matching of punctuations within the keyword; it knows
no word boundary. And sometimes it takes a long time to generating a
long list, plus it is difficult to pick items from a long list.

Our use case is often item-oriented - we have a list of
itemIDs/handles/titles and want to map the items to several
collections. An easier approach is to have an "Add Collection-Mapping"
button in the Edit Item page. Having said "Add", it is logical to have
"Delete" too. Along side with the original "Move" function the
collection-mapping editing tool is complete. I customized the src to
allow more actions in the item edit servlet. We also have commond line
tools for batch changes to mapping. If these are generally wanted
improvements I am pleased to help introduce them in future versions of
dspace. What do you think?

Allen Lam.

Hello
Alan,
  
  
there is the functionality to map items to other than their owning
collections via the web UI.
  
  
Log in as admin (collection admin).
  
Navigate to the collection you want to map an item to.
  
JSPUI - item mapper in the admin tools
  
XMLUI - item mapper in the context menu
  
  
Search the item to be mapped and then map it.
  
  
Hope that helps

Re: [Dspace-tech] DSpace Import Issues

2010-02-19 Thread Allen Lam
Hi Caryn,

If you are going to use shell command ls for this purpose, I have a 
suggestion to reduce manual editing:

ls --ignore=contents --ignore=dublin_core.xml  contents

Not every version of linux supports this switch. If your linux does, it 
is possible to write a script to recursively run this command through 
all sub-dirs. Then all contents files creation can be finished in a second.

What editor you are using to edit the contents files? IMHO, file 
encoding is still the main suspect in the issue.

Best,
Allen Lam.

 Hi, Allen~

 Thanks for the tip!  I actually did notice this was an issue with some 
 of the contents files (I tried using a variety of methods to generate 
 the contents file). In the end, the most effective method was to do ls 
 contents, then remove the contents and dublin_core.xml line (very 
 time consuming for 1,027 items).  However, this actually didn't solve 
 the issue...  It seems like quite a strange (and lurking) issue!

 I was on a deadline, so I figured out a way to complete the load 
 without resolving the issue.  Once I have a moment or two, I'll go 
 back and see what I can do to actually fix the problem.

 Thanks again,

 Hi Caryn,

 I am not sure if it is helpful. Just give a pointer to let you check 
 against.

  From your description, the error could be caused by incorrect 
 character encoding in your file that is named as contents.
 Make sure this contents file is **plain text**, with ANSI/ASCII 
 contents and NOT saved in unicode or UTF-8 encoding.

 UTF-8 encoded text files have 3 extra bytes at the head and this 
 could cause problem for the import program to process correctly.

Re: [Dspace-tech] How to run dsrun command

2010-01-06 Thread Allen Lam
Hi Vinsenso,

stat-initial is written for Linux/Unix uses.

To use it in windows...
- open a command prompt
- in the command prompt, change directory to your dspace\bin
- type dsrun org.dspace.app.statistics.CreateStatReport -r 
stat-initial in command prompt (without quot), ENTER

The above command is copied from the file stat-initial (open it by 
notepad or any text editor).

Follow the same rule to execute other dsrun commands.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Display abstract field as hyperlink

2009-11-18 Thread Allen Lam
Hi, Ngamsritragul,

There are many folds of issues you might need to consider:

- Putting the abstract content in metadata can help searching because it 
usually contains useful keywords.
- You need to turn on indexing on this abstract tag to enable searching.
- Mixing abstract text with download link in the same tag do no good for 
indexing and searching.
- Some abstracts contain special chars and some are just too long that 
could not display well in the browser.
- adding too too many text contents in metadata can degrade indexing and 
searching speed. Your database may also grow in size in a speed you do 
not want to see.
- When people download a file by a link in metadata, it is difficult to 
make a statistics count.
- some more localized issues that only you know...

Hope it helps.

Best,
Allen Lam.

Re: [Dspace-tech] MINIMUM HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS FOR DSPACE INSTALLATION

2009-11-11 Thread Allen Lam
Hi ff,

Dspace itself is not hardware demanding.
A desktop PC we bought nearly 10 years ago is running the newest version 
of dspace without problem.

If you are talking about the minimum, I guess you need less than 500MB 
harddisk space for installation and 1GB ram for bootup and running 
various services. Besides, you need an Internet connection to install 
the system. But such minimum starting point will bring up a barebone 
dspace system only, good for evaluation and testing.

The actual requirement of production scale depends on the purpose you 
are going to use the system. If there are lots of data files to store, 
you need lots of harddisk space. If you have plenty of public users, you 
need fast CPU, much more rams and fast Internet connection. All depends 
on your budget and needs.

Best,
Allen Lam.

Re: [Dspace-tech] possible to search for records with/without bitstream?

2009-10-28 Thread Allen Lam
Hi Platt,

Without rewriting the dspace source, there is a way to make any field 
you like become searchable. The solution is to add the information into 
a metadata value.

In the IR I am managing I created a metadata tag to describe the item 
type, so that we could filter out thesis having full -text or 
abstract-only or TOC-only. A little changes to the config file is needed 
if you wish your advanced search options to include your custom metadata 
tags.

Hi Edmir,

It seems your are missing some steps in the installation of dspace, or 
some steps are not finished completely.
There should be a bin directory under your dspace source.
Run ant update to let it copy the bin directory to your dspace home.

Run indexing commands from the bin of your dspace home, i.e.  dspace/bin
Hope this helps.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Unable to compile class for JSP

2009-10-14 Thread Allen Lam
Some more remarks...
You said you are using IBM Java 1.5. There are two problems.
1. The error log said you are using 1.3. That means you have another 1.3 
java for running your tomcat instance. Or you have added a parameter to 
enforce your 1.5 java to act like a 1.3 java.
2. Use only Sun's java. IBM's java may not be 100% compatible with Sun's.

Hope it helps.

Re: [Dspace-tech] html enties (html symbols)

2009-10-08 Thread Allen Lam
Hi Terrance,

Having seen your response, I do experiment on using the trick on the 
jspui and xmlui.

I found that it works well in the jspui only.

Are you using the xmlui?

In the xmlui, not only the #xxx; chars cannot be reinterpreted, other 
originally good non-ASCII chars will be distorted by double-decoding. 
This does not happen in the jspui.

I am not using the xmlui (partly due to the complexity and error-prone 
results of multiple layer translation of codes and data). Perhaps some 
other experienced dspace-xml/cocoon users could give some advices?

 Hi Allen,

 I see this works nicely during the initial submission process, but on 
 the edit-item pages after the submission is approved (and is live), 
 I click Update twice with no change. The symbol does not replace the 
 unicode value. (I am using DSpace 1.5.2, btw)

 I have tried various combinations of browsing off the page and back, 
 hoping for the unicode replacement behavior you mention. Am I 
 (hopefully) missing an obvious way to save twice on this page?

 I am guessing that in the initial submission process, navigating using 
 Next and then going back merely saves the data in the session rather 
 than finalizing it with a save to the database, thus allowing the 
 useful side effect of unicode being re-interpreted before the data 
 actually is submitted to the database. I'm just not sure how to get 
 this behavior once I click the Edit... button on a live submission 
 page. It isn't a multi-page submission, and I think that is my challenge.

 Best regards,

 Take a common scenario as example. If the user is opening the web-based
 Edit Item tool, and wishes to add a copyright sign (a circle-c) to one

 To type in Greek chars, e.g. #945; for alpha, #946; for beta, etc.
 You can find these magic numbers in the Unicode book or web
 (http://www.unicode.org/).

 Why save twice?
 After the first save the data will be recorded plainly as #169; in db.
 When it is redisplayed in the web browser edit tool, it will be
 interpreted as the circle-c char. Save it again.

Re: [Dspace-tech] reindexing question

2009-09-23 Thread Allen Lam
Hi, Lucy,

It seems you have some misconceptions that should be made clear first...
- indexing in dspace has nothing to do with Google index
- google analytics is not for making your contents searchable in google

If you want your contents be searchable in google, open your door wide 
to let goolgle robots crawl your website.
Actually there are a lot more robot senders other than google, e.g. msn, 
yahoo, ask, sogou, Most robots will visit your site uninvited.

You could make robots live easier by:
- telling them you have a site you want them to index
- do not block robots access
- made html sitemaps
- and other tips you could find in the dspace wiki page

 Should I do something to make it happen?

 I deleted the robot in the server.

 Right now I am following Ensuring your instance is indexed at

 when i register with googl analytics, it  says google can’t index our

 Hi Jewel,

 As Juergen suggested, InitializeBrowse is not there anymore.
 Run the scripts bin/index-init or bin/index-update as needed.

 The scripts aim to create a browse index and then a search index.
 Indexing helps you browse and search faster.

 Roughly speaking, the steps of indexing is to tokenize some search
 strings into word list, filter out undesirable words, some fine
 touches
 on the remaining word list, and then put them into a mini database
 (not
 that of postgres) recording what words can be found in which item.

 With regard to scheduled maintenance, it is NOT necessary to re-index
 dspace unless you've made changes to the indexing rules or have
 edited
 the database directly.

 Allen Lam.

Re: [Dspace-tech] reindexing question

2009-09-17 Thread Allen Lam
Lucy, you cannot run linux/unix scripts in windows.

Instead, you can write the 3 command lines into a plain text file, save 
it as index-init.bat into the same place of dsrun.bat. Then, in that 
directory you type index-init to execute.

  Hi Jewel,
 
  As Juergen suggested, InitializeBrowse is not there anymore.
  Run the scripts bin/index-init or bin/index-update as needed.
 
  The scripts aim to create a browse index and then a search
 index.
  Indexing helps you browse and search faster.
 
  Roughly speaking, the steps of indexing is to tokenize some
 search
  strings into word list, filter out undesirable words, some fine
  touches
  on the remaining word list, and then put them into a mini
 database
  (not
  that of postgres) recording what words can be found in
 which item.
 
  With regard to scheduled maintenance, it is NOT necessary to
  re-index
  dspace unless you've made changes to the indexing rules or have
  edited
  the database directly.

  Allen Lam.

Re: [Dspace-tech] [Dspace-general] Customization Dspace

2009-07-28 Thread Allen Lam
Hi Hardik,

You can copy your new jsp and associated files to your dspace deployed
directory
dspace/webapps/jspui/
You will see the editing effect immediately by refreshing your browser.
Sometimes it may need restarting tomcat to take effect.
No packaging is needed. This is good for fast testing during development.

If you do not have Internet access, you can change dspace config to use
localhost as domain.

Take caution:
Copy your new jsp and other files to your source directory when you
finish testing.
Next time when you repackage dspace, all files in the deployed directory
will be removed.

Allen.

If there are documents that needs to have html or other formatting codes

 dear D-Space developer/user

 i have a question:

 i have some html code in my Database in the description field, of

 so the database entry is:
 h3 hello /h3 /brpit is a description p

 when DSpace shows the database content it actually shows the text:
 h3 hello /h3 /brpit is a description p

 while i wuold like to say the html resoults instead:

 *hello*
 it is a description



 How can i do it?

 i see two possibilities:

 -  Overwrite the java class that take data from the database and send 
 them to manakin in order to decode the html
   

 - working at Mankin level(but it seems me pretty much more 
 complicated):in the file DIM-Handler.xsl

  xsl:if test=dim:fie...@element='description' and not(@qualifier)]
  ...
 xsl:copy-of select=./node()/ -- call 
 some html decoder here
  ... 
 /xsl:if


 I'm sure i'm not the first one who had this need... and i can see some 
 security issues concerned with the solution
 can somebody give me some indication or a solution?

Re: [Dspace-tech] UIUtil month -1

2009-06-22 Thread Allen Lam
Hi,
I am not the author of the related codes but I am interesting in reading 
source codes.

According to my understanding, the reason behind the -1 design was 
defined in org.dspace.content.DCDate, where -1 means undefined value for 
year, month, day, hours, minutes and seconds.
DCDate is based on Calendar class of java. 0 is not a good choice to 
represent undefined value because 0 is a valid value in 
java.util.Calendar for y,M,d,h,m,s. (e.g. 0 means January when it is a 
month value).

In dspace usage, when there is only year value with no month and day, 
submitters can just put in the year value (e.g. 1930) then sorting will 
be done correctly.

Cheers,
Allen.

 In the short view I get now a funny date: 0-Uns-1930

 I dont know the month 'Uns' ;-)

 So my question.

 Why did you programm month and date  -1 and not  0 in UIUtil.java?

Re: [Dspace-tech] how to adding static page

2009-05-11 Thread Allen Lam
Hi Zollo,

Dspace's header, footer, etc comes from tag libraries.

You only need adding suitable tags to enclose your jsp file to attach 
the default layouts.

Study the example of home.jsp that comes with dspace.

Pay particular attention to dspace:XXX.../dspace:XXX

You could write custom tags to customize the layout. If you are new to 
custom tag library, here is a good reference:
http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/tutorial/TagLibrariesTOC.html

Hope it helps.

Allen.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Half-OT: Tomcat won't start

2009-03-30 Thread Allen Lam
The exception is caused by Tomcat being unable to find a class called 
HttpServletRequest. This class is included with servlet-api.jar, which 
should have come handy with tomcat package.

Tomcat discovers its libraries from common/lib.

Try placing a copy of the jar in
/usr/share/tomcat5/common/lib
or
var/lib/tomcat5/common/lib/

When you see similar error when you are running a webapp, place the jar 
in your application's WEB-INF/lib

Hope it helps.

Re: [Dspace-tech] DSpace 1.4x and postgresql 8.3

2009-03-23 Thread Allen Lam
Hi,

There are two facts for you to consider:

1. Debain is a fully configurable system such that you can 
uninstall/disable almost any packages, and install/enable any extra 
packages.

2. Upgrading dspace involves much more complicated procedures and risks 
than reinstalling postgres.

I would suggest doing the dspace upgrade if it happens that you want 
such an upgrade right at this moment.

Otherwise, do the postgres downgrade for a simple, fast and secure 
solution. You can go for a dspace upgrade in a later time when you are 
ready for it.

Allen Lam.

 Yes, there is a problem with PG 8.3 and DSpace
 1.4.2; PG 8.3 changed the default typecasting
 of certain literals in SQL.

 DSpace 1.5.X will work with PG 8.3, and DSpace
 1.4.2 will work with earlier versions of PG.
 
 Too bad. Now I would like to know which way will
 be easier: Modifying DSpace 1.4 code to work with
 postgresql 8.3 or downgrading to an old version
 of the database not any longer supported by the
 distribution I use?
 
 What exactly ist wrong in the DSpace code as of
 version 1.4.2?
 Is the problem clearly located in a single class
 or is it spread all over the code and I would
 have to use find and replace, doing extensive
 testing afterwards?
 
 Thanks for your hints.
 
 Bye, Christian

Re: [Dspace-tech] Exporting/importing the PostgreSQL database?

The db schema is changed while dspace version is changed. You errors may 
be caused by version mismatch between dspace and db.

I suggest you re-create the old version db on the new machine, then run 
the upgrade scripts provided by dspace to upgrade the db schema upto 1.5.1

Re: [Dspace-tech] Exporting/importing the PostgreSQL database?

2009-03-19 Thread Allen Lam
The all-time trusted tool for backup and restore is postgres' own 
pg_dump and pg_restore

To see the command options:

pg_dump --help
pg_restore --help

It can be tricky to use because you have to put into a good combination 
of flags. Some flags you may wish to use with pg_dump is -b and -Fc

Anyway, you have already have the problem solved. You can try out these 
commands and options again for routine backup uses.

Re: [Dspace-tech] registering new user problem in DSpace 1.4

2009-03-05 Thread Allen Lam
Hi Vijay,

Your quoted lines do not record the happening of java exceptions so that 
it is not useful.

You should repeat your action to create the error in dspace. Then 
immediately view the tail of your tomcat log file. The error should 
normally be recorded with date and time as a stack trace in 
catalina.out. If not, look into other tomcat log files for the stack trace.

If there is no logging of the error, there can be non-standard 
configuration in your tomcat that prevented it from recording 
exceptions. Fix your tomcat first.

 As some other people suggested earlier, the first step of solving
 your problem is to look into tomcat's log file catalina.out.
 
 You said you could not find anything inside catalina.out related to
 your problem. That's the problem: hints are there but you cannot see
 it. You should capture the related error log messages and find
 someone to help you interpret the log. Many people reading this

Re: [Dspace-tech] Dspace 1.5.1 - enabling Statistics

On Linux and Unix machines perl is usually pre-installed.

In Windows it is not the case. You need to install a thing called 
activeperl. Google for it.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Dspace 1.5.1 - enabling Statistics

2009-02-27 Thread Allen Lam
 ---BeginMessage---

There are two separate issues.

1. To run perl scripts in Windows, when ActivePerl is installed and path 
 environment is set,


open a command prompt, type
perl [your-script]

2. some scripts under dspace/bin are not perl scripts. They are 
unix/linux shell scripts.


e.g. stat-general is a script to run a java program.
So, you need to run the program at the root of the classpath

java -cp [valid_classpath_string] 
org.dspace.app.statistics.CreateStatReport -r stat-general


If your class files are contained in a jar, you can add the -jar argument.

It is not easy. Finding out your classpath string is a painful experience.

type
java -help
and google a lot to see how to run a java program. You may need some 
java programmers to help.

Re: [Dspace-tech] reindexing question

2009-02-26 Thread Allen Lam
Hi Jewel,

As Juergen suggested, InitializeBrowse is not there anymore.
Run the scripts bin/index-init or bin/index-update as needed.

The scripts aim to create a browse index and then a search index.
Indexing helps you browse and search faster.

Roughly speaking, the steps of indexing is to tokenize some search 
strings into word list, filter out undesirable words, some fine touches 
on the remaining word list, and then put them into a mini database (not 
that of postgres) recording what words can be found in which item.

With regard to scheduled maintenance, it is NOT necessary to re-index 
dspace unless you've made changes to the indexing rules or have edited 
the database directly.

Allen Lam.

Re: [Dspace-tech] streaming vedios files

2009-02-22 Thread Allen Lam
Hi Shaji,

DSpace is a system aimed at cataloging, indexing, searching, and to a 
certain extend, storing.

It does NOT do streaming.

To serve video streaming to your users, it needs another set of 
streaming hardware and software (usually highly demanding) that are 
independent from Dspace. Probably you need to buy the hardware/software 
at a cost or rent the service from a hosting company. RealNetworks, 
Apple Quicktime and Macromedia are some examples of such vendors.

When you have the streaming server setup. You can add links to the video 
  in dspace metadata, allowing users to search/browse available resources.

Our dspace system have streaming video resources here:

Hope you find these information useful.

It is better not to touch the source directly.

Assume you have only one Messages.properties,
place it in [your_dspace151_src]/dspace/modules/jspui/src/main/resources

If you have multiple properties files for different languages, place 
them under different dirs under resources.

After editing, run mvn package and then ant update. See the install doc 
for these commands.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Sfx link only on specific items

2009-02-20 Thread Allen Lam
Hi Yuyun,

I edited ItemTag.java to enable showing or hiding a openurl link based 
on the presence or values of some qualifiers.

Be a little bit more specific, in my case, in the renderFull() method, I 
added a section

if (values[i].qualifier.equals(openurl)) {
   out.print(something_that_you_want_to_display);
}

When the item has dc.identifier.openurl, an icon and a link will be 
displayed.

This is only a starting point to experiment. You can do similar editing 
to the render() method and using your wanted conditions to control the 
on/off status of any metadata display.

Does this help? Let me know.

Allen Lam.

As far as I could remember, to have changes in the browse listing you 
may need to modify the following files:

BrowseServlet.java
BrowseListTag.java
full.jsp
single.jsp

The jsp is for jspui only. Something else is needed to be done if you

The above files are related to browsing. Search result listing is

Your postgresql connection pool is used up.
Restart your postgresql service the error will be gone.

If you frequently meet the same error, you should tune your postgresql. 
There are plenty of config options in your postgresql.conf.
e.g. max_connections, shared_buffers, work_mem, etc.

Consult the document for the meaning of each option.
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/static/runtime-config.html

Re: [Dspace-tech] error on browse by date

2009-01-13 Thread Allen Lam
It seems it is not a problem caused by indexing.
If the index is empty it would show a normal empty table rather than 
java run-time error.

Check your dspace's log and tomcat's log to find out the error messages. 
Look for what class and what function call caused the error.

As you mentioned your database was changed. How it was changed? The 
solution could be a simple fix on config files or a complicated 
re-coding of the source code.

Re: [Dspace-tech] DSpace 1.4.2 search - how the indices are built and what all the files represent?

2009-01-08 Thread Allen Lam
Hi, Susan,

First of all, for normal uses it is not necessary to put index-all in a 
cron job.

Re-indexing is necessary if you have done changes to the database 
directly (e.g. running SQL commands to del or insert data) or when you 
change the indexing options in dspace.cfg.

Normal adding/deleting/editing items using dspace's web interface or api 
or shell script does not need doing re-indexing afterward because the 
index will be incrementally updated automatically in each operation.

The purpose of index-all is to build an index of data to help speeding 
up searching. Data is built into a tree structure. The files you see 
under /dspace/search are records of the search tree. They are in binary 
format, containing pointers to data and fragments of data.

Indexing is a strategy to trade space for time. You use up some hard 
disk spaces to store index file in order that you gain high speed in 
searching. If you are really interested in knowing the theories of 
indexing, have some reading on relational database design and indexing.

When you decide to re-index all indexing must start from scratch.

In dspace.cfg, you can change the indexing behavior by adding or 
removing or reordering the lines
search.index.X = XXX.YYY

Remove indexes that your systems do not need. Put important indexes in 
the front.

Having a script to run for over two days is really annoying. You may 
wish to check for any bottle neck in your hardware or network. Is your 
CPU or network overloaded? Is there enough memory? Is the database too 
busy...

In my case, I have about 30k of items. Index-all takes 1-2 hours to finish.

Regards,
Allen Lam.

 How do your configuration parameters in dspace.cfg affect the building

Re: [Dspace-tech] Tomcat 5.5.27

2008-12-03 Thread Allen Lam
Hi Gary and others,

In the last few years I upgraded tomcat from 4.X to 5.X and then to 6.X 
  (and at the same time upgraded dspace from 1.3 to 1.5) and have never 
noticed similar exception.

I am interested to know is there anyone else experienced similar problem?

To escape quote char in Messages.properties, add a back-slash:
use \ to replace 

For safety, do some experiments before doing large-scale replacement.

Regards,
Allen Lam.

 I since discovered that this is due to the fact that 5.5.27 strictly
 enforces the quoting requirements of the JSP spec.
 
 So my question is, does this error stem from some value in
 Messages.properties which contains quotes, or are there other places in
 the code which may need changing (for JSP spec compliance purposes)? If
 the former, how should the quotes be escaped in Messages.properties.
 
 Thanks

Re: [Dspace-tech] dspace migration

2008-12-03 Thread Allen Lam
Hi Rod,

Besides assetstore, there are other directories in dspace that could use 
up plenty of disk space. Depending on your configuration and pattern of 
usage, these directories may include history, log, reports, upload, etc.

Other than redirecting them one-by-one to a remote drive, consider 
installing your whole tomcat and webapps in your remote drive.

Like what Kim suggested in a previous mail, you need to config postgres 
separately.

Allen Lam.

 Hi all
 
 I'm migrating the repository in a dspace 1.4 instance to a separate 
 server running a dspace 1.5 instance..
 
 On the dspace 1.5 machine I've got about 20G for / and /home but I've 
 also got a network mounted 500G drive.
 
 In the dspace.cfg I pointed the assetstore directory to the network 
 drive, but is this all I need to do to ensure data is stored on the 
 network mounted drive?
 
 If I dump my postgres data from the 1.4 instance and then import it to 
 the 1.5 instance where will it go? The reason I ask is that I installed 
 postgres through 'yum' and I suspect it'll still try to store data on 
 the / file system.
 
 I'd really appreciate if someone can explain (or point me to something 
 that explains) the conceptual arrangement of data and directories used 
 in dspace + postgres.
 
 Cheers. Rod

 Hi DSpacers,
 
 How to *search for a particular submitted file, based on its name*?
 For example, if a file's name is 'Mill Data Sheet', and I search by 
 typing a part string, say 'Mill', it should list out all the
 files/items present across the entire communities/collections.
 ( of course, each file is internally a bitstream ).

hi, Gagan,

If your bitstream filenames are not stored within DC metadata it is not 
searchable.

Bitstream filenames are stored in db table bitstream. If you really 
need this function, you have to program it by writing custom queries.

Another way out is to include the filename in DC and include this field 
in indexing.

 I added the identifier.doi manually to the METADATAFIELDREGISTRY table

 Perhaps I should have added this to my own namespace? But I get an error
 also trying to add my own. I would have to insert it manually into
 METADATASCHEMAREGISTRY? Should I do that and move the identifier.doi
 over to it?
 
 I hope someone can help.
 Thank you and kind regards,

In the first place you should find out why there is error in using 
dspace interface to add an additional dc field. Besides checking 
tomcat's log, dspace log and your database's log may contain some hints.

I have never tried adding a row to METADATAFIELDREGISTRY table manually. 
  Will dspace show up the new row of data in its admin interface?

There are no simple java variables containing the bitstream filenames in

The bitstream list table you see is dynamically generated by

 Hi,

 I need to create a dynamic link to the URL for the primary bitstream in my 
 display-item.jsp. I know that if I use %= handle %, I can get the handle 
 for the item. How would I get the rest of the URL.

 Lets say the url is http://myhost/bitstream/12345/33/1/myfile.flv

 I can hard code in the http://myhost/bitstream/
 I can use %= handle = to get 12345/33/
 What can I use to get 1/myfile.flv ?

 Is there something that I can use to get all of that together at once so that 
 I am not hard coding and part of the URL ?

 Thanks, in advance, for the help.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Postgres won't work after violent shutdown

2008-11-26 Thread Allen Lam
Hi,

I also have bad experience of using postgresql under windows. It is less 
stable than running in unix/linux.

I would suggest:

1. Look into your event log to discover why postgres could not start. 
Then fix it accordingly.

2. If you cannot fix it, back up the data directory and then uninstall 
postgres. Reinstall the SAME version of postgres again. When it starts 
happily, copy the data directory back to replace the default one.

Allen Lam.

 Can you suggest anything I should do about the Service not running?

 I haven't used windows in a while but I can try a couple of suggestions 
 to kick things off.

 When you look in the Services list (you get to it via control 
 panel-administration i think) is postgres showing as running?

 Also, in the task manager, is postgres.exe there?

 Are there any more details in the logs (Event Viewer?)?

 You may also want to check the config files in case your machine's ip 
 address has changed since the reboot and postgres is still listening on 
 the old ip.
