10:16 jtaylorats Is there a document which explain the purpose of the fields and tables and how they are linked?   I've read through a couple different schema documents but they don't really explain what I need to know.  Things like linking copy records to bibliographic records and such things.   Sorry if I've missed something obvious.
10:24 RoganH jtaylorats: there really isn't
10:24 RoganH jtaylorats: in that case it's by way of callnumber so
10:25 jtaylorats Okay...found that path but seemed like an odd path to me.
10:25 RoganH if I was doing select from asset.copy ac I would join asset.call_number call on call.id = ac.call_number
10:25 RoganH then call.record = biblio.record_entry.id or metabib.real_full_rec.record or a few other places
10:26 RoganH depending on what you want to do.
10:26 jtaylorats Trying to sort out a failed migration to see if it can be salvaged.
10:26 RoganH jtaylorats: I think it's a bit awkward but it makes sense once you get used to the db structure, at least it's consistent
10:26 RoganH jtaylorats: good luck!
10:27 jtaylorats Thanks.
10:28 jtaylorats Library was left stranded in the middle of it so get to see what I can figure out.
10:29 RoganH jtaylorats: well, I'm not a db guru but glad to help if I can
10:30 jtaylorats Appreciate it.   Hopefully I won't be a pest but sure I'll have another question or two along the way.   Thanks again.
10:32 jeff "left stranded" doesn't sound fun at all.

10:49 pinesol_green kmlussier: The operation succeeded.
10:52 hopkinsju joined #evergreen
10:54 hopkinsju Is there some mechanism that stores information about permissions context location? We made a change to our org unit structure, decided it didn't work, and then reverted. Now the org units under org units we changed are having odd permission issues.
10:55 hopkinsju For example, the circulation users at these libraries are not able to edit patron records because the home library field in the staff client does not contain any entries.
10:55 hopkinsju In fact, that's pretty much the only example.
10:55 csharp eww
10:55 ericar joined #evergreen
10:56 hopkinsju csharp: I'm liking the sound of this.
10:56 csharp hopkinsju: permission.grp_perm_map has a depth column which corresponds with the depth of actor.org_unit_type
10:57 csharp but that context is derived from the user's working location
10:58 csharp permission.usr_work_ou_map
10:58 csharp hopkinsju: you also need to run /openils/bin/autogen.sh after an org tree change
10:59 csharp and probably add a '-u' flag to that (though that may no longer be necessary)
11:00 hopkinsju Right on, we've autogen'd, but I'll do it again for good measure. I'm looking at those 2 tables now.
11:01 csharp hopkinsju: note that the staff client caches all that stuff, so they may need to go to Admin -> For developers... -> Clear Cache and entirely exit the staff client and open it anew to see the changes
11:01 csharp in fact, you might rule that possibility out first
11:02 hopkinsju csharp: Thanks. I think that's a good idea.
11:04 hopkinsju Not the cache.
11:16 csharp hopkinsju: do they have the editing permission for patron users assigned and at the correct depth?
11:17 hopkinsju AFAIK. They have update user at System
11:19 pinesol_green [evergreen|Galen Charlton] LP#1269042: prevent acq seach from building dropdown of every copy ID in the DB - <http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=​Evergreen.git;a=commit;h=deb52e4>
11:19 csharp hopkinsju: so do they have working locations assigned at the correct library?
11:19 hopkinsju They do
11:20 csharp hrm
11:20 csharp I would tail the logs and see what happens when they try
11:21 hopkinsju We had added a OU type. We had two library systems that came in and wanted to have the ability to search a shared catalog. So we added another OU type underneath system, and then another new type for the branches.
11:22 hopkinsju It had an odd effect when viewing permissions in the staff client. Looking at the user permission editor the values in there seemed to all change their depth.
11:23 csharp yowza
11:24 jeff did you end up reverting those changes?
11:24 hopkinsju The documentation on adding new types wasn't super helpful so we were doing some trailblazing. Our initial testing looked ok, but we missed the inability to save users.
11:25 csharp hopkinsju: do the existing org unit types have 'can_have_vols' and 'can_have_users' set to true appropriately?
11:25 jeff because if it's possible to end up with a org type setup of ONE -> TWO -> THREE but have a first-level child of the root be of type THREE, I'll bet that breaks things.
11:25 hopkinsju jeff: We reverted them, but not in the technical sense. We removed the new types and changed the parent OU for the sub-branches.
11:25 jeff it's possible that there are db constraints that prevent the creation of such a broken tree in the first place.
11:26 hopkinsju jeff: We did this in the staff client. We created a "sub-system" type and a "sub-branch"
11:27 hopkinsju It did have the effect that the depth of branch was the same as the depth of sub-system, although the paths down the tree were different.
11:27 jecs joined #evergreen
11:29 jecs Hi all!  The release notes for 2.5 say, "RSS links to full catalog record." Can anyone tell me what that means? (Not RSS-I know what that is!)
11:30 jeff jecs: there are a handful of RSS URLs in Evergreen. Until 2.5, they were still linking to an older-style JSPAC or even a "slimpac" style URL.
11:31 jeff (at least, I think that's what that means)
11:32 jecs jeff: tx, where do they show up? OPAC, staff client?...
11:32 * bshum digs up old bugs https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1089479
11:32 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1089479 in Evergreen "tpac: links from RSS feeds/unapi display continue to go to jspac" (affected: 2, heat: 14) [High,Fix released]
11:33 bshum NOBLE's example links in the original bug description still work.
11:34 bshum And I think they may have since upgraded to a version of Evergreen where TPAC was used primarily.
11:35 jecs ok, but does it only show up in the user interface under "List" functionality?
11:38 dbs huh. JSPAC offered up RSS for searches, and had OpenSearch support too.
11:38 * dbs swears he had a "restore opensearch" branch for TPAC somewhere
11:39 jecs ahhhh - tx, all!
11:41 bshum dbs: http://irc.evergreen-ils.org/​evergreen/2013-08-16#i_22600
11:41 bshum Yes, we did muse about it :)
11:41 bshum But maybe it got lost
11:42 dbs bshum: opening a bug right now to track it
11:43 dbs thanks for the reminder!
11:45 kmlussier Hmmm...the links in that bug report do still work, but they don't necessarily show the same behavior that we were illustrating there.
11:45 kmlussier The unapi display is no longer going to JSPAC. And the RSS feed no longer goes to that unapi display. Which is a good thing! :)
11:46 kmlussier @coin
11:46 pinesol_green kmlussier: heads
11:46 kmlussier Thank you, pinesol_green, that was the answer I was hoping for.

15:23 burlingtonwa Whenever I create a Patron Request in Acq, it places 4 holds on the same bib for the same patron.  Anyone else using eg 2.4.4 have this problem, and is there any fix?  Thanks!
15:28 tsbere I can honestly say I have never had that happen.
15:28 tsbere Mainly because I can also honestly say I am unaware of any time I have actually used Acq, patron request or otherwise
15:28 tsbere <_<
15:29 burlingtonwa haha!  fair enough, tsbere.
15:31 burlingtonwa should I just try an email on the general list?
15:31 rfrasur burlingtonwa, probably.
15:31 burlingtonwa will do.  thanks!

16:46 mmorgan is there any way from server log entries to see whether a workstation is using "Strict Barcode" in checkin?
16:46 mmorgan I'm thinking no... but hoping
16:48 tsbere Not that I know of
16:48 tsbere If strict barcode checks fail you don't even get a server side entry, in fact....
16:48 berick yeah, pretty sure that all happens on the client side.  if it's on and it encounters a bad barcode, the checkin call will never make it to the server.
16:48 berick yeah
16:49 jeff no, there's no difference other than you know if you receive a barcode that isn't "strict" conforming, either they aren't using the option or they overrode the prompt. :-)
16:51 mmorgan thought as much. It would be useful to know how often the prompt is overridden.
16:52 jeff well, given a log of requests from a workstation that you "know" has it turned on, count the requests that contain a non-strict-conforming barcode value. :-)
16:52 jeff What's the underlying reason for wanting to know?
16:53 mmorgan jeff: yeah, if we could be sure it's turned on ...
16:53 mmorgan trying to herd precats
16:54 tsbere A lot of our precats are conforming to those rules. Because someone deleted them previously. >_>
16:56 afterl left #evergreen
16:56 mmorgan we have lots of precats with barcodes that are a few digits long
16:57 tsbere We have a precat with a 193 character barcode. WTF? >_>
17:00 mmorgan I can see that a precat with barcode "4" has been edited many times, presumably by attempted circ transactions.

17:29 Bmagic I have an interesting issue with editing patrons. We use the same permission group for every branch when issuing accounts to the staff client. Whenever we make an account inside of this paticular branch, the permissions prevent the account from seeing the "Home OU" dropdown list when editing patrons.We have been beating our heads against this trying to find out what is going on with this branch.
17:29 Bmagic Any ideas are welcome
