Drupal

Fixed stage DB issue with webforms and updated the three standard and special deposit/download forms there. (For future reference, aside from the webform* tables, there was a reference to a form in the config table that had to be removed to allow the structure/webform menu to display. Figured this out by identifying and ~ignoring exceptions in the Drupal core code to find which form was the problem and then searching the db export for it's id.)
Minor update with compose Fixed newly reported issues from Robert - issue setting initial search 'data/website' toggle, formatting of the advanced search form (only available to qdr_staff)
Deploy fixes to stage

Dataverse

Fixed tag/folder presort issue. Looks like this was a problem with the 5.x updates to use the new PrimeFaces 8 version. Setting the initial values of the two presort variables in their declarations no longer resulted in their values being set in the page (so I added code to set them in a page init() method. Also - it looks like the default to send both checkbox values back to the server when clicking one changed, so I had to explicitly indicate that both values should be sent so that setting one didn't uncheck the other.
Deployed fixed to dev/stage

Other:

Verified that the 504 issue remains and can be seen on dev and stage when css and js files aren't aggregated. It looks like a short 10s timeout from the awselb/2.0 server.
In prep for upgrading prod, I grabbed the domain.xml file and made the required jvm-options updates in a /home/jim/domain.xml.payara copy. That should avoid one step for Seba.
In GDCC/RDA work, Herbert van de Sompel and I created a a document outlining recommended ORE/Bag enhancements. Will be looking for a consensus approving these from QDR, TDL, etc. If/when implemented, these changes would probably involve regenerating existing Bags (could maintain the ability to read existing Bags, but easier to avoid that.) HvdS is still reviewing/editing the doc, but comments welcome after that.
- NW Comment: This looks really interesting. I think the first issue w/r/t PIDs and the Transfer Versus Archival Use and Bag Contents are probably most relevant to QDR, but will be happy to have another look once further edited.

Still TBD:
