That being said, the error might be up father near the top in your log file, I don't see a good error in what you posted. Read the log from the top down, there will be something that is the first sign of trouble with MySQL, probably within 50 lines or so, that should explain it. MySQL 8 is a bit different. The GRANTS are a bit different: CREATE USER 'jeffrey'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'; GRANT ALL ON db1.* TO 'jeffrey'@'localhost'; Also, the docs have this note: NOTE: For MySQL 8. MySQL 8 uses a new method (caching_sha2_password) as the default authentication plugin instead of the old mysql_native_password that MySQL 5.7 and older used. This may require starting a MySQL 8 server with the --default-authentication-plugin=mysql_native_password option. You may also be able to change the auth mechanism on a per user basis by logging into mysql and running ALTER USER 'archivesspace' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY '123456';. Also be sure to have the LATEST MySQL Connector for Java from MySQL in your /lib/ directory for ArchivesSpace. I have been able to run ArchivesSpace on 8, but it does have a couple small issues to work through sometimes. ________________________________ From: archivesspace_users_group-bounces at lyralists.lyrasis.org on behalf of Brian Sheppard Sent: Thursday, May 2, 2019 3:30 PM To: archivesspace_users_group at lyralists.lyrasis.org Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] mysql db connection error I'm having a problem connecting to a localhost mysql backend and, despite having perused a number of related threads, can't get it to work.

So as a full disclosure, I've not thoroughly explored custom reports. But I am wondering about any way to access accession records as filtered by a particular classification. We're doing our best to use the native system as is. But the primary accessioner at my institution had a question I could not answer. All he wanted to do was to retrieve all the accessions he'd tagged with a certain classification. Is that not possible through the GUI? I sent him to browse --> classifications. Then, after selecting a particular classification, 2 levels down, it gave him a list of records that had that classification assigned. From there, there was no facet to get him the information he wanted. JUST accessions, not resources that also had the classification. I then looked at the native reports. There was one named Accession and Linked Subjects, Names and Classifications. 1) the report failed for me. 2) the results, at least by the report name, will be too broad (he only wants a certain classification, not all subjects and linked agents), and 3) why can't we just browse for this without a report. I can query the database, but am I just missing something? Why can't he just get to accessions with a particular classification by browsing? I must be missing something. Thanks!

Components will occasionally export in the wrong order in the PDF; for example, a recent collection exported with: Series I -- Subseries III ---- [...subseries I components...] -- Subseries I ---- [...subseries II components...] -- Subseries II --- [...subseries III components...] Strangely, while the subseries components are out of order, their children are in the correct location/order! This error has been intermittent; regenerating the PDF immediately resolves the issue. Unfortunately, this means that it has not been possible to reproduce the problem. Checking the logs, I did not see anything indicating an error in EAD or PDF generation from ASpace. I don't believe that the issue is in the EAD-to-PDF stylesheet, so I'm concerned that our EAD records may be generating with components in the wrong place in the finding aid. Has anyone else encountered issues like this? My suspicion is that https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/blob/master/backend/app/exporters/models/ead.rb#L38 may be surfacing fleeting discrepancies between our search index and database, but it's difficult to tell, given how intermittent the issue is.

You can download it at https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/releases/tag/v2.6.0-RC1 or test it out without downloading at http://test.archivesspace.org/staff (username admin /password admin). We do encourage you to download and try it out with your own local setup and/or data if you can for the most accurate results. This release candidate contains program-led and community pull requests that provide feature enhancements, bug fixes, infrastructure improvements, and documentation updates. You'll see many small changes to the staff and public interfaces that came out of community-prioritized requests. There is also a significant revamp of how background jobs run, including a new reports page layout. While testing, we highly encourage you to not only check out the new changes, but also to make sure that features you already use are working as intended. This release candidate also has a new feature guided by a community-initiated and authored specification, the option to generate human-readable URLs for use in the public user interface. Human-readable urls can help improve the user experience and also contribute to Search Engage Optimization (SEO). More information about how human-readable URLs work in ArchivesSpace is available at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ycNuk86TD9jGHS5YzTw3tjQY3Kuln3F4fvR7kLlfigQ/edit?usp=sharing. I encourage you to contribute ideas and even edits to this documentation while testing human-readable urls. Thanks to Celia Caust-Ellenbogen and Cory Nimer for authoring and circulating the human-readable URLs specification throughout the community last year. Thanks to the many community members who made contributions to the work reflected in this release candidate, including individual archives staff and developers, our Development Prioritization sub-team, Testing sub-team, Technical Documentation sub-team, and the Core Committers Group. We'll be collecting feedback through Friday, May 24. Please let us know at ArchivesSpaceHome at lyrasis.org if you notice any problems with the specific areas addressed in this release, or if anything that was working before no longer is. Barring major issues, we expect to release v2.6.0 by the end of the month.

That said, the rights metadata is still available in the public interface for display, so that data could be surfaced with a plugin with any version of ArchivesSpace. I don't know of any plugins offhand that do that (maybe others on the list do?), but I could come up with a pretty basic one if that's of interest. There is lots of data that can be stored in an ArchivesSpace rights statements, though (such as linked agents, acts, external documents, and notes), which makes adding them to the PUI a bit of a design challenge.

I've got a layout_head.html.erb file which loads the appropriate js file in the correct page, my difficulty just comes from getting the button to click without creating errors. Here are the contents of my js file: $(function () { var click_the_button = function () { var button = document.querySelector('.btn.btn-sm.btn-default.pull-right.add-note'); button.click(); }; click_the_button(); }); When the page loads I get the error messages seen in my attached screenshot. I've also tried requiring notes.crud.js and simply running the createTopLevelNote function, but this gives precisely the same error messages. Note that the URL for creating a new resource is https://arcspace-dev.lib.cam.ac.uk/staff/resources/new, but when the error messages appear this changes to https://arcspace-dev.lib.cam.ac.uk/staff/resources. As a test I've changed the click_the_button function to perform another task instead: var click_the_button = function () { var button = document.querySelector('.btn.btn-sm.btn-default.pull-right.add-note'); button.style.backgroundColor = 'green'; }; This works exactly as expected, changing the button colour to green. No error messages appear and the URL stays as expected. I haven't found any other plugins that do something like this (and I know very little Javascript!) so I'm at a loss here. Any advice or links to relevant documentation would be greatly appreciated.

If you?re not familiar with our work, the Integrations subteam supports the ArchivesSpace community by taking a transparent approach to documenting and facilitating the integration of systems with the ArchivesSpace application. Some of our activities include: * Tracking current integrations and communicating their status with the larger community * Creating resources that assist members of the community with their integration work * Act as liaisons between integration developers, the AS program team, and the community * Act as general resources for those working on integrations We?ve recently given our documentation a refresh -- please give it a look! You can read a little more about what we consider integrations on our ?What Are Integrations?? page, and we have a few examples of existing integrations on our team?s ?Integrations? page. We also have documentation about ?How? and ?Why? to integrate with ArchivesSpace if you?re thinking about or are currently working on a systems integration. We?re reaching out today because we saw an opportunity to better support integrations work by reaching out to communities that might not already know about the work we do. We?re actively seeking more information about any past or current integrations work so that we can better share it out with others. If you?re working on an integration, we?d love to hear about it! Please either email us at as_tac_integrations at lyralists.lyrasis.org or fill out our ArchivesSpace Integrations Form. We?d really like to know what you?re working on or thinking about working on, and want to make sure as many people know of our existence as possible. We?re here to act as a resource and answer any questions you might have about how to go about integrating with ArchivesSpace. We may not always be able to answer your deepest technological questions, but we can definitely point you in the right direction.

Sent: Thursday, December 20, 2018 4:16 PM To: Archivesspace Users Group Subject: Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] REMINDER: Proposal for Container Management Enhancements - Call for Community Input Dear ArchivesSpace community: Apologies for the length of this. I?ll try to address a lot of comments, but not all! Please let me know if (as they may well do) my elaborations only elicit more questions! In general, most of these proposals are derived from facing problems of scale. Harvard has 30 repositories and over 200 users of ArchivesSpace. Others have to do with managing ?medium rare? materials? locations and containers in ArchivesSpace. (Medium-rare is a tongue-in-cheek term used to cover materials that might exist in multiple manifestations but that have archival or rare characteristics or treatment. Examples include entire libraries ingested into an archives, author?s own copies of their books, annotated books, or the record copy of serials or reports kept by institutional archives.) ? Multi-field top container indicators Some commenters wondered if the multiple fields were to accommodate child containers. To clarify, the suggestion was to facilitate parsing top container identifiers. As a few commenters have surmised, this is to cope with legacy numbers. These are especially common on medium-rare materials. One suggestion was to use a sort algorithm that would obviate the need for separated fields for data. However, because there would be is more than one algorithm necessary over the installation, such a solution would require an added field to identify the algorithm and probably a third field retain a value derived by the algorithm to be sorted alphanumerically. Thus, the direct 3-field solution seems simpler. (A 4-field suggestion was mooted in the committee as potentially more useful communally.) It does occur to me that there just might not be enough really old, really big repositories with lots of legacy identifiers in the ArchivesSpace community for the parsing of legacy numbers to be a common problem. I appreciate the recognition that a plug-in might be needed instead, but it would be worth hearing from any repositories with similar issues. ? Container and location profiles by repository We were envisioning a one-to-one profile-to-repository scenario. Due to the ArchivesSpace staff user interface requirement that one identify only a single repository at login, it is extremely easy for users to forget the impact they might have beyond their repository if they change or delete a shared record. We have already experienced mistaken mergers and deletions of agents due to the design of AS staff user interface that does not allow one to see where the record may be linked beyond their repository. For this reason, it is wise to be able to limit changes and deletions of location profiles and container profiles impact to the same chosen repository. ? Inactive As Maureen wisely intuited, inactive locations are necessary to recording a complete location history. However, there are additional use cases. When a repository is renovating, for example (as is happening now at the Schlesinger Library) the shelves in a location may be inactive for a time and become active again when the building re-opens. Other scenarios include water intrusion or other occasions when a smaller sub-set of shelves may have to become inactive until repairs are completed and tested before the shelving can again come into use. Because inactive locations are to be eliminated by default from search results, we can prevent them from overwhelming staff members? search results or sending staff to unusable locations. ? Notes in containers and locations Notes are for dedicated shelving or rehousing issues. Notes on containers may contain things like ?Label falling off? ?Acidic-needs replacing? ?Acid box replaced with acid-free box 2017-06-08? ?Not on shelf 2015-10-10?. Notes on locations may contain things like ?only use as last resort?overhead drip pan makes retrieval difficult? ?reserved for outgoing transfers until 2019-01-01?. In locations especially, we would expect the reason for a location becoming inactive might be noted. ?Made inactive because next to heating duct?do not reactivate?. ? Bibliographic record IDs in containers This data would allow for more sustainable interoperability between systems and more flexibility in workflows. Especially with medium-rare materials, the physical item?s location might need to be recorded before description is finalized, and if the description is to be created in foreign system and ingested to ArchivesSpace, hooking up the container and location will be problematic. In this scenario, a resource with initial description in a bibliographic system could be placed on an archives? shelf, and the description, once completed in the ILS, could be ingested via MARC XML ingest for example. After the resource is ingested, the ILS bibliographic record number could be searched in the containers to link the container to the resource. When an ILS system migrates, it is unlikely that the migration would maintain obsolte holding or item system numbers, but it is common to migrate with obsolete bibliographic system record numbers embedded into the new system. Should there be a need to re-migrate holdings or items from ArchivesSpace to a new ILS, bibliographic record numbers would ensure continuity. Thanks for reading! Kate From: archivesspace_users_group-bounces at lyralists.lyrasis.org On Behalf Of Maureen Callahan Sent: Monday, December 17, 2018 2:09 PM To: Archivesspace Users Group Subject: Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] REMINDER: Proposal for Container Management Enhancements - Call for Community Input A million thanks to folks from Harvard for showing leadership and investing to improve the experience of the software for all of us. I was having pleasant flashbacks to my days at Yale working through the original specifications for the container management functionality -- what it all means, what it should do, how this will improve the experience for archivists and patrons, and how to abstract all of this work to more general archival and data management principles. It's such fun, hard work! Generally speaking, it would be really helpful if user stories gave a better sense of what you want to accomplish instead of what you want to see on the screen. For some of this, I had a hard time understanding where you were coming from and I think it's possible that there are different ways of accomplishing what you've laid out. "As an W, I want to have X feature, so that Y behavior happens in Z way and lets me do my work in ABC fashion." I think that many of the goals behind this proposal are sound, but that perhaps there's too narrow an approach to solutions to meet these goals. Developers might find better ways to address the problems you've identified. 1. Hell YES there need to be easier ways to browse/sort/find locations!!!! 2. I agree that it would be useful to have the option to filter locations/container profiles by the repository they tend to belong to and that this should also be extensible so that it's easy to change this information after a move or administrative change. I sort of remember that folks at NYU talked about this as a possible outcome in the beginning of their location profile work, so it may be worth talking with them about the best way to think about it and any reasons they might have opted to not associate a repository with a location profile. 3. Lora did some nice work with search to make it possible to see the entire breadcrumb trail of where a search result comes from (the hierarchies of AOs within a resource). I'm thinking that perhaps you just want the same thing to happen when you look at the associated archival objects / accessions in a top container, rather than adding another column (resource) to the search result. 4. As someone who has had to do a lot of systems migrations that involved moving heterogenous data into more structured places, I get really nervous about a notes field for either the location or the top container. If there are common types of information that end up in this field, it may be worth considering adding more structured fields to either the location or the location profile or container or container profile so that it can be better managed, queried, and kept tidy & up-to-date. What's the scenario by which someone would actually look at this notes field? What do you want to go in there? 5. Soooooo tell me more about this inactive location idea. AFAIR, ArchivesSpace doesn't keep an audit trail of previous locations. What's the value of knowing that inactive locations exist when there aren't containers living in those locations and there's no way to see that those locations perviously held containers? 6. This may be implicit in your proposal, but it sounds like you want "repository" to be a multi-valued field in your location profiles and your container profiles. Paige boxes, for instance, will probably end up being associated with every repository. 7. I was initially a bit perplexed by the request to add additional fields for container indicators, but reading between the lines, my guess is that you want to be able to sort them properly in various circumstances. If, for instance, you have boxes 2, 2a, and 3, you want to be able to make sure that when you sort by indicator, they appear in this order. That's a great goal! But I think that you might want to state this goal instead of stating one possible outcome. I definitely DO NOT want a three-part container indicator because who knows what kind of crap people will put in those fields and they could potentially be a nightmare to clean up. Plus, it would have to account for every possible heterodox way that people design their container indicators -- or just default to Harvard's scheme, which... I mean, this is software for the whole community. Instead, I would suggest making the requirement that you want for alphanumeric characters to sort properly and clever developers can come up with the best way to do this. That seems like a more elegant solution than changing the data model. 8. YES BIBIDs!!!! But my read is that a BIBID is a control number for intellectual description, not for holdings. I know that folks are currently putting BIBIDs in user-defined fields in the resource record, and it would be great for those to have a canonical spot to help with systems integrations. I would much rather see the addition of a BIBID to the resource record, which can then be displayed with the top container by the system if desired (although why?). There's already a field for the ILS holdings ID to go with the top container.

We were just including a notes field in the rights statement, along with the required type and start date, and rarely an end date. We're starting now to include the information in notes fields, but because there was a publish checkbox in the Rights Statement Note, we just assumed checking it would publish the information, and we had over 150 finding aids entered before anyone realized that they weren't actually showing up. I know, I know. Assuming is a bad thing. We're doing a bit of a rush job, as we have a deadline for taking down our old PDFs. I believe that LibraryHost.com, our host, has now put in a feature request to Lyrasis. I'm not sure if they'd be willing or able to implement a plug-in. It sounds wonderful if it were pretty easy all around. Otherwise, we can make do with the notes fields. As a side note, part of what threw me is that it seems counterintuitive to me, as a complete n00b, for the rights statement not to show up in the public interface. I wonder if a note to this effect should be included in the help documentation? Is this where I should mention this? Or maybe something on the wiki? Or is it only counterintuitive to me?

The rights statement records (as well as some other record types, like event records) do not appear in the public interface as far as I'm aware. They also do not get added to EAD exports (although they could, if there were a mapping for that data). That said, the rights metadata is still available in the public interface for display, so that data could be surfaced with a plugin with any version of ArchivesSpace. I don't know of any plugins offhand that do that (maybe others on the list do?), but I could come up with a pretty basic one if that's of interest. There is lots of data that can be stored in an ArchivesSpace rights statements, though (such as linked agents, acts, external documents, and notes), which makes adding them to the PUI a bit of a design challenge. I'll also admit that I'm not very familiar with those records in ArchivesSpace. Right now, we only use notes to capture that type of information. Which fields are you using with your rights statements?

We upgraded to version 2.5.2 a few weeks back and missed this issue in our testing process. We noticed that the MARC export is exporting relators of added entries as the translation instead of the actual value. For example, now =700 1\$aDoe, John.$4Donor is being exported instead of =700 1\$aDoe, John.$4dnr. We have confirmed this to be happening in both our local instance and the community sandbox. On our end, this creates a validation error for OCLC records, and is inconvenient for our ILS workflow, as the two are bundled together. We've already submitted a JIRA ticket for this bug, and are planning to address this in the short-term through a MarcEdit tasklist, but wanted to flag this for others or hear if there were alternative solutions we hadn't thought of.

Do you test load/edit in QA then re-run the job in production? 2. Or do you load/edit in QA and replicate/auto-deploy to production? Can you just copy the database and re-index? 3. Not agonize over mistakes and just do it all in production? 4. Something else? Do you worry about keeping the strings in synch? Our old process was like #1, but we had separate systems for generating EAD and public facing search/discovery. With Aspace we are adding additional customers, more data types, less user command/control, etc. Is there a sweet spot for ensuring data integrity but have non-burdensome and flexible workflows?

You can download it at https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/releases/tag/v2.6.0. This release contains program-led and community pull requests that provide feature enhancements, bug fixes, infrastructure improvements and documentation updates. There are a number of small changes to the staff and public interfaces to improve usability and clarity. There is also a significant revamp of how background jobs run, including a new reports page layout. This release also has a new feature guided by a community-initiated and authored specification, the option to generate human-readable URLs for use in the public user interface. A full list of the changes and improvements is provided on the release page. Thanks very much to community members Br. Paul, Blake Carver, Mark Cooper, Tim DiLauro, Bobbi Fox, Brian Harrington, dvhassel, Adam Jazairi, Steve Majewski, Dave Mayo, Curtis Poston, Austin Schaffer, and Trevor Thornton for their code contributions to this release. Thanks also to the contract developer we have been able to engage through member funds, Manny Rodriguez (via LibraryHost), for his substantial efforts on the human-readable URLs feature. Thanks as always to LYRASIS Digital Technology Services for their technical support. This release is also very much a testament to the efforts of our Development Prioritization sub-team, Testing sub-team, Technical Documentation sub-team, and Core Committers Group, as well as individual ArchivesSpace users like Celia Caust-Ellenbogen, Cory Nimer, and Rachel Searcy, who identified and helped us work through particular bug fixes and new features in this release. Within the program, our co-op student Sarah Morrissey did amazing work in providing a number of community-requested improvements to the staff and public interfaces (many of them recommended by the Staff Interface Enhancement Working Group last year). And though I don't always call them out in release announcements, I would be remiss if I didn't mention that Technical Lead Laney McGlohon and Junior Developer Lora Woodford worked through a tremendous amount of their own code and that of others to bring this packed release to you. We are very fortunate to have such a wonderful community-based and user-focused developer team. Information on upgrading to a new version of ArchivesSpace is available at http://archivesspace.github.io/archivesspace/user/upgrading-to-a-new-release-of-archivesspace/. If you have not yet upgraded to a recent version, we recommend going directly to 2.6.0. Please note that a complete reindex is required for this release. Please let us know if you have any questions or need help upgrading. We are turning our attention to some needed infrastructure improvements for the application, but also aim for some work on agents and recording language information that will make ArchivesSpace more standards-compliant in these areas to be ready to go into the application in a release later this summer. We'll be updating the roadmap on the wiki in the next few days.

Message-ID: <9178d733e39f4c0597a63030b67c429a@ua.edu> Hi, Is anyone using CAIASoft with ArchivesSpace? My library is going to use CAIASoft as our library storage management software for a new off-site storage facility. I saw that CAIA just updated their list of supported systems (re: APIs), and ArchivesSpace is now on the list. Our planning group is putting together questions for the CAIA team, so we?ll be talking to them about this soon. But I?d love to talk to anyone who is using CAIA with ArchivesSpace.

I've got a layout_head.html.erb file which loads the appropriate js file in the correct page, my difficulty just comes from getting the button to click without creating errors. Here are the contents of my js file: $(function () { var click_the_button = function () { var button = document.querySelector('.btn.btn-sm.btn-default.pull-right.add-note'); button.click(); }; click_the_button(); }); When the page loads I get the error messages seen in my attached screenshot. I've also tried requiring notes.crud.js and simply running the createTopLevelNote function, but this gives precisely the same error messages. Note that the URL for creating a new resource is https://arcspace-dev.lib.cam.ac.uk/staff/resources/new, but when the error messages appear this changes to https://arcspace-dev.lib.cam.ac.uk/staff/resources. As a test I've changed the click_the_button function to perform another task instead: var click_the_button = function () { var button = document.querySelector('.btn.btn-sm.btn-default.pull-right.add-note'); button.style.backgroundColor = 'green'; }; This works exactly as expected, changing the button colour to green. No error messages appear and the URL stays as expected. I haven't found any other plugins that do something like this (and I know very little Javascript!) so I'm at a loss here. Any advice or links to relevant documentation would be greatly appreciated.
