09:18 jtaylorats Is there a way to import MFHD holdings into Evergreen?
09:19 jtaylorats Keep finding links that say I can but never one that tells me how.
09:20 dbs jtaylorats: there is
09:21 jtaylorats Could you point me towards some info on how to do it?
09:21 dbs The Open-ILS/src/extras/import/marc2sre.pl was one important part
09:23 dbs http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.educ​ation.libraries.open-ils.general/3685 has some info about it
09:24 jtaylorats Thanks.  I'll take a look at that.
09:26 jtaylorats Some reading had indicated that it was also possible via Vandelay but maybe I misunderstood.
09:27 dbs jtaylorats: You can use vandelay to import the serial *bib* records, but I don't think it supports the associated mfhd records
09:28 dbwells Correct, there is no support for importing MFHD records in Vandelay.
09:28 * dbs hasn't really touched marc2sre.pl or the test data or the associated test data README since he put that stuff together for his own migration in 2009
09:29 jtaylorats Okay.   Appreciate the info.
09:30 jtaylorats Do you happen to know off the top of your head what table the info resides in?   I'm sure I can find it but am lazy enough to ask :-)
09:30 dbwells jtaylorats: the MFHD records are in serial.record_entry
09:30 jtaylorats Okay.  Thanks.
09:31 jeff Hrm. There no longer appears to be a way to obtain a list of all holds in the opac. a cgi param of 0 gets overwritten by my $limit = $self->cgi->param('limit') || 15;
09:33 jtaylorats Just checked serial.record entry again (had looked there before) but it doesn't appear to hold the MFHD data.
09:33 jeff I'm torn between wanting to have reasonable upper bounds and wanting to have a means of "show them all, no paging". :-)
09:34 jtaylorats I've looked through all the other tables but not seeing it there either.
09:35 dbwells jtaylorats: Have you somehow loaded the MFHD records?  I am 100% positive that serial.record_entry is where they go.
09:35 jtaylorats We created one manually.
09:35 jbfink joined #evergreen
09:36 jtaylorats and can see it in the PAC as expected.
09:37 dbwells jtaylorats: And the table is empty?  The 'marc' column will have the MFHD data.
09:37 jtaylorats The record entry table has id info and probably links things together but no actual data resides there as far as I can tell.
09:37 jtaylorats Never mind...
09:37 jtaylorats I'm just blind.
09:38 jtaylorats So it stores it as XML.
09:38 dbwells jtaylorats: Yes.  If you stick with manual MFHD records, it's all rather straightforward.
09:39 jtaylorats Okay.   Maybe I can do the import directly if I can get the right link info.   Thanks again.
09:39 dbwells jtaylorats: the biggest trick to loading MFHD from a legacy system is mapping your MFHD to the appropriate bib records in biblio.record_entry.
09:40 jtaylorats Yes.  Agreed.
09:40 jtaylorats Guess it is back to the battlefront.
09:40 dbwells jtaylorats: When we migrated way back when, we intentionally kept our old system IDs.  This made things much simpler.
09:41 jtaylorats That is what I'm doing as well.   That way I can also do a re-import and use it as a match point.
09:41 jtaylorats In case things don't go like we want.
09:41 dbwells Cool, then you are halfway there :)
09:41 dbwells good luck
09:41 jtaylorats Thanks.
09:49 jeff and the holds history behavior is different from the holds behavior. huh.

10:44 dbwells If so, I'd like to assign it to you.
10:52 bshum Yeah I'll take that one dbwells.
10:52 bshum I'd kind of forgotten about it.
10:52 bshum :(
10:52 dbwells it's yours!
10:52 dbwells thanks

14:35 jeff bshum: especially with mmpbbt.
14:36 jeff because what do you do with the rest of a payment when you're trying to attribute payments to billings? :-)
14:36 jeff (answer-for-now is likely to be "attribute with billing -1 and show a billing_type of OVERPAY)
14:37 jeff er, associate with or attribute to, likely not "attribute with"
14:48 jboyer-isl Has anyone seen a "_print_tree" error when accepting offline transactions? We're testing a 2.5 client and that's not a comforting thing to encounter.
14:49 jboyer-isl Fun fact: commenting out the try's and catch's in chrome/content/util/print.js allows it to work with no indication of an unhandled exception. :/
14:49 jboyer-isl (in the _print_tree function, that is)
14:50 bshum jboyer-isl: When you say "accepting offline transactions" what do you mean?
14:50 bshum Saving them in offline?  Uploading them?  Processing them?
14:51 jboyer-isl Sorry, that wasn't very specific. Clicking Save these transations with the Auto Print box checked.
14:51 csharp jboyer-isl: yes, we're seeing it
14:52 csharp it appears to be fixed when you go in and configure a printer
14:52 csharp that's all I know for now
14:52 jboyer-isl I tried that and it didn't seem to help. I'll try again.
14:52 * bshum can't find an autoprint button
14:52 bshum Just a "Print Receipt?" checkbox
14:52 jboyer-isl Oops, yes, "Print Receipt."
14:53 csharp it appeared for us this week, just before our (currently ongoing) upgrade and just after we've been pushing more people to use it
14:53 bshum Fwiw, I'm not getting an error on our production client, it just launches to my XPS printer.
14:53 jboyer-isl It was happening before the new clients were installed?
14:54 csharp jboyer-isl: we didn't hear about it before then
14:54 csharp the details I have are pretty sketchy though
14:55 csharp from what I understand, though you log in and add a printer, exit completely, enter standalone, and it works
14:55 csharp bshum: and yes - it appears to be hard to reproduce
14:55 csharp if may be old profile data vs. new client
14:55 csharp s/if/it/
14:56 jboyer-isl Context must matter, because I've tried that in the Offline context, but only now set up a printer in the default context.
14:56 jboyer-isl Aha.
14:56 jboyer-isl And now it works.
14:56 jboyer-isl :(
14:57 csharp so you were setting up an offline printer without selecting a default printer?
14:58 jboyer-isl My current workstation rarely ever prints, so most contexts are unset.
14:58 csharp yeah - that was my trouble recreating too
14:59 jboyer-isl I tried setting a printer for the offline context though...
14:59 jboyer-isl OH.
14:59 jboyer-isl But I set the offline_checkout template to force the receipt context, not offline.
14:59 jboyer-isl Oops.
15:02 mceraso dbwells: I just finished testing the release candidate for 2.5.2 using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and everything works just fine
15:03 csharp mceraso++
15:05 dbwells mceraso++ # thanks!
15:06 mceraso Not a problem at all :) Always happy to help!
15:10 mmorgan jboyer-isl: csharp: Coming in late on this but we had exactly this issue when down for our 2.4 upgrade
15:10 mmorgan Setting the offline printer, totally exiting the client, then launching again worked - for most
15:11 mmorgan Some users reported they had to redo their printer settings, though, because they didn't seem to stick the first time
15:29 jboyer-isl Thanks mmorgan, we'll tell people they can test things ahead of time and hopefully it won't turn out to be a huge issue.
15:30 jboyer-isl (Though we all know better. <_< >_>)
