Re: [Dspace-tech] HANDLE server / Oracle / Firewall
Hi Tom, I have my handle server up and running, it¹s responding over the necessary ports. But it¹s not able to get the actual handles from my Oracle database. The database box is located across a firewall, and we¹ve already opened a port so that the DSpace application itself can communicate with it. Does the handle server require or use a separate port that we will need to open, or does it use a different protocol? The Handle system should use the same configuration as the rest of DSpace as defined in dspace.cfg. What are the symptoms you are seeing? (which bits work, and which do not? What do the log files say?)

Re: [Dspace-tech] target for a system monitor script
Hi Hardy, Hi, our system administrators have an uptime monitoring application that we'd like to point at our DSpace installation. I'm kicking around ideas for a way to code up a page for them to use as a test (something that would confirm that all the pieces were working: tomcat, db, apache). I thought I'd check with this list, to see if anyone has coded something similar, and would be willing to share, or point me to a write-up? The home page would confirm all three (which is what I use). Apache must be working in order to get a response, tomcat much be working if you see the DSpace header and footer, and the database must be working in order to see the list of top level communities. The only thing the homepage doesn't test is that your lucene search indexes are happy and healthy, in which case you can use a search results page. Hope that helps, Stuart _ Gwasanaethau Gwybodaeth Information Services Prifysgol Aberystwyth Aberystwyth University E-bost / E-mail: stuart.le...@aber.ac.uk Ffon / Tel: (01970) 622860 _ -- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Issues with DSpace 1.5.x and browser cache
Hi John, I'm having a problem with using DSpace 1.5.x via the jspui and xmlui interface that causes changes to the database not to appear on subsequent pages, unless I clear the browser cache and reload the page. This occurs with both IE and Firefox browsers, and does occur when accessing my 1.4.1 DSpace installation. Has anything changed that would cause this. Could you provide us with a list of explicit instructions about how to replicate this? We'll then be able to see what changes you are making in the database, and look at why they might not be getting shown in the user interface. For example are you adding/modifiying/deleting item metadata from the metadatavalue table? (if so, my initial but un-researched guess might be that DSpace doesn't realise the item has changed unless you also update the item's last modified date, therefore when your browser provides the If-Modified-Since header, DSpace will assume the item has not changed, and will therefore return a 304 Not Modified status).

[Dspace-tech] Getting an updated checksum after replacing a bitstream in 1.4.x
Hi, When we remove the original bitstream and replace it with a corrected one, then the checksum information is not updated and therefore is no longer correct. How can DSpace re-run checksums on corrected/replaced bitstreams so that the new checksum value is automatically reflected in the item's metadata? Or is there something that must be corrected manually in the metadata? Thanks in advance. Obiajulu Odu University of Tromsø -- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

Re: [Dspace-tech] My Exports in Manakin question / bug report
Hi Eric / Serhiy, Using the Reference theme, items waiting in My Exports cause the h3My Accounts/h3 header to disappear from the menu. The li login and registration links remain, but the missing h3 throws off spacing of the ds-option-set. The really strange thing is that My Exports and the missing H3 persist after logout.

I've not looked into this much, but I think the only way is to remove them from the server (from the directory defined in dspace.cfg org.dspace.app.itemexport.download.dir).

Re: [Dspace-tech] My Exports in Manakin question / bug report
Hi all, the patch has been applied to 1.5.x, thank you Stuart. As for the lifespan there is a configuration parameter: # The length of time in hours each archive should live for. When new archives are # created this entry is used to delete old ones org.dspace.app.itemexport.life.span.hours = 48 This might be used in a cron to delete old exports. Imo only deleting them on creation of a new archive is a bit clumsy. Furthermore the exports should be deletable from the user himself, but this is another feature request. The export could do with a bit spring cleaning in general: - make it configurable, enable export yes/no - check for authorizations - use email template instead of hardcoding the text - let the user manage the exports ... a happy new year Claudia Jürgen Stuart Lewis schrieb: Hi Eric / Serhiy, Using the Reference theme, items waiting in My Exports cause the h3My Accounts/h3 header to disappear from the menu.

Re: [Dspace-tech] My Exports in Manakin question / bug report
Hi Stuart, Thanks very much for your reply. I just applied your patch to our dev instance of DSpace 1.5.2, but I think that it only partially solved the problem.

Re: [Dspace-tech] xmlui versus jspui
I say Manakin all the way. Not only is the out-of-the-box design better, but it's significantly easier to customize (although not precisely easy), and I think is essentially the future of DSpace, interface-wise. You can run both in parallel, in case you need to get to something in the jsp that isn't working in xmlui.
