Hi,
short update after rolling out a few changes directly on
http://dspacecheck-atmire.rhcloud.com/
*1. Discrepancy in item count*
This should now be fixed. If anyone finds other discrepancies, please let
me know.
*2. Extended analysis emails*
Emails are still broken, but after entering your email address you will
immediately get the link to the extended analysis in the webUI as a
temporary workaround.
*3. Sense and nonsense of my repository speed measurements*
Found that my measurement was actually measuring more than just ONE page
request. Changed this so you should get considerably lower response time
reports now.
best regards,
Bram
