07:55 csharp @hate acq
07:55 pinesol_green csharp: But csharp already hates acq!
07:55 csharp @hate acq more
07:55 pinesol_green csharp: The operation succeeded.  csharp hates acq more.
07:55 csharp so now, out of nowhere, acq vandelay is not creating copies anymore
07:56 csharp "Load Items for Imported Records" is checked, MARC file shows a quantity of 1 for each of the 6 bibs - all 6 come in without an error, but no copies are created
07:57 csharp nothing on the server configuration side has changed about the setup, and the file I'm using worked in the past
08:05 csharp "vl: record 244070 was not imported"
08:05 csharp "acq-vl: acq lineitem 26914 did not import"
08:05 csharp but no indications as to why not
08:06 csharp and according to the stats, 6 records *were* imported, and a PO with those records (sans acq copies) now exists
08:17 csharp aha - it appears that I need to have selected a merge strategy - "Merge on Best Match" is now selected and the logs are showing success
08:17 csharp ugh - still no copies added though
08:22 Dyrcona joined #evergreen
08:37 csharp there are no vandelay.import_item rows for the records in the queue, so whatever's supposed to create that is not working
08:39 csharp @monologue
08:39 pinesol_green csharp: Your current monologue is at least 13 lines long.
08:42 jeff "your current debugging session monologue is at least X lines long over Y minutes.

09:14 csharp ok, so now I'm looking for something that calls the DB function vandelay.ingest_items() but ack/grep is not finding me anything :-(
09:15 csharp ah - found it - it's a trigger function
09:15 csharp ingest_bib_items()
09:19 csharp that's apparently triggered by adding a row to vandelay.queued_bib_record, so I guess I'll need to add some debugging statements as to why that's not happening
09:19 csharp I'm still looking for what tells vandelay that there's an item in the incoming record
09:20 csharp for acq records, the copy/lineitem_detail information is in the 962 (don't know if that's standard or custom for us)
09:21 * csharp hopes that acq.lineitem_detail is equivalent to vandelay.import_item - if not, the last hour is for naught
09:23 dbwells csharp: the tag/subfields for item import are controlled by your holdings import profile.  Is that what you were asking?
09:24 dbwells It's been a while since I looked at the acq side, so maybe that's different.
09:25 csharp I think that's right
09:25 csharp I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out what's acq and what's vandelay here :-/
09:25 csharp my current quest is "find out what process is supposed to create the lineitem_details"
09:26 csharp I'm looking in the acq perl, vandelay perl, acq schema, and vandelay schema
09:26 maryj joined #evergreen
09:28 csharp OMG I hate acq - did I say that already?
09:34 csharp dbwells++ # that helps some - at least I can see where the 962 is defined as the holdings subfield
09:35 kmlussier csharp: When you look at the PO, is the order activatable? I'm just wondering if there is a piece of information missing that would stop the copies from loading.
09:36 csharp kmlussier: the original report from the library was that they weren't able to activate a PO with the reason ACQ_LINEITEM_NO_COPIES
09:36 csharp and indeed, there are no copies created when they load the MARC order records
09:37 csharp (which had worked previously)
09:37 kmlussier csharp: Yeah, I would check your 962 then and make sure that the subfields there are lining up with what's in the holdings import profile. And make sure there is data in the quanitity subfield and the owning_lib subfield.
09:37 csharp now known-working files fail to create copies as well
09:38 csharp my working theory is operator error
09:38 kmlussier csharp: Also, it's the holdings subfield in the provider record you want to look at, not in the vandelay interface.
09:38 kmlussier csharp: I'm wondering if the subfield information got changed.
09:38 csharp so many places to look :-(
09:40 dbwells csharp: Whenever I've had copies not load, the best source of debug has been the postgres error log.  It's almost always been a not null constraint issue, which in turn helps me find what's wrong with my record or profile.
09:40 csharp dbwells: cool - I'll look there too
09:47 csharp SELECT * FROM acq.extract_provider_holding_data( '26920' ) AS "acq.extract_provider_holding_data" ;
09:48 csharp when I do SELECT acq.extract_provider_holding_data( '26920' ) ;, I get nada
09:52 kmlussier csharp: And, for the provider being used, the acq.provider holding_tag is 962 and the subfields for that provider in acq.provider_subfield_holding_map match the ones that are used in the order record?
09:54 dbwells csharp: If you haven't already, scratch what I said about 'holdings import profile' earlier.  That info is stored differently in the acq side, as kmlussier is pointing out.
09:54 csharp dbwells: thanks
09:55 csharp kmlussier: it looks like they don't line up - unfortunately, I have to run to meeting 1 of 500 today, so it will have to be later :-/
09:55 csharp dbwells++ kmlussier++ thanks!
09:55 kmlussier csharp: Have fun at your 500 meetings! I hope they have lots of decaf for you!
10:01 * Dyrcona should really create a circulation solver program with a GUI. I have spent a lot of time in the database with action.find_circ_matrix_matchpoint and related functions lately.
10:09 phasefx an animated plinko machine
10:12 Dyrcona heh.
10:17 jeff which would be considered a better hardware RNG? a plinko machine or a lava lamp?
10:20 jboyer-isl jeff: Put the plinko machine behind the lamp, use a combination of the sounds + the distortion effects. Unfortunate side effect: Hippies be asking for random numbers for hours at a time.
10:21 krvmga joined #evergreen
10:27 Bmagic Dyrcona: what if you overlayed the circ matrix on the original doom game. Each bad guy is a rule, and you can shoot them. After they die, the rule is deleted from the database......
10:27 Bmagic let me know what the phone number is and I will dial in with my modem and we can shoot them together!
10:28 jboyer-isl Any field with more than 6 fields non-null is a cyberdemon. Game over.
10:28 jboyer-isl Row, rather.
10:28 Bmagic exactly!
10:28 Dyrcona You guys joke, but I'm semi-serious, in the sense of thinking it would be a useful endeavor provided the time is available.
10:29 Bmagic Im not joking - http://psdoom.sourceforge.net/
10:29 Dyrcona Bmagic: I've know about psdoom for years, and I consider what you said to be a joke. ;)
10:29 Bmagic it could* work
10:30 Bmagic lol
10:30 * bshum doesn't think he's ever played Doom.
10:30 gmcharlt Dyrcona: indeed, better ways for staff to visualize and/or test circ policies would be great
10:30 Dyrcona The idea behind the solver is to show you how your rules actually work.
10:30 phasefx Dyrcona: one useful entrypoint might be from the item editor, but you'd need a lot of context options
10:30 Dyrcona You put in barcodes and locations and it tells you what happens.
10:30 Dyrcona phasefx: I have been considering something standalone that only talks to the database.
10:31 phasefx probably the safest option as far as clutter goes
10:31 Dyrcona Another option is to add an open-ils.circ-solver service and make calls against that.
10:31 phasefx there is a circ test api call, IIRC
10:32 gsams Dyrcona: As someone more or less on the outside of things, I think this is a great idea.
10:32 miker you know,  I thought there was a UI in the xul client for supplying a patron and item barcode to "fake" a circ... maybe just a wishlist thing from long ago
10:32 Dyrcona phasefx: yeah, but it either does too much or doesn't do enough depending on what I want to know. :)
10:33 Dyrcona Most of the db functions that I use are not exposed directly in the open-ils api.
10:33 miker ah, well, nevermind me ... phasefx++
10:34 gmcharlt it's a start though - and I think it would be good if the code that test circ policies were essentially accessing exactly the same pathways that real loan and hold transactions do... just with additional instrumentation as needed for Dyrcona's purposes
10:34 phasefx miker: there's a Test Circulation option for some A/T stuff; you may be thinking of that.  I never played with it
10:36 kmlussier gmcharlt: I was just reviewing your RM proposal on supporting the web client for production use. When you mention holds, are you thinking of all holds functions, including pull list and managing the holds shelf, or were you just thinking of things you would most commonly do while working with a patron, (i.e. placing, viewing, updating holds)?
10:36 Dyrcona Lovely: ERROR:  column "ccvm.ctype" must appear in the GROUP BY clause or be used in an aggregate function
10:37 Dyrcona Guess string_agg( ccvm.ctype || 'something else') doesn't count.....
10:39 gmcharlt kmlussier: yes to both the pull list and managing the holds shelf - and those are present already, so bugs against those areas would certainly be reasonable to target for 2.next
10:39 jboyer-isl Dyrcona: while I only commented to add to the psdoom hype, I do think it's a good idea. At one time I considered doing a simple conference talk about how the ordering worked and what not with a lot of visuals, but 1, couldn't think of a good way to present the visuals, and 2, couldn't think of a way to keep everyone awake.
10:40 Dyrcona Duh. The aggregate needs to be in the having clause.
10:40 jboyer-isl But something simple that just said "Here are the rules that your system will pick" would be a big help.
10:40 Bmagic Dyrcona: something that would run  action.find_hold_matrix_matchpoint and show results as you change the options
10:41 Dyrcona jboyer-isl: I have a perl script that generates a parameters spreadsheet in http://git.mvlcstaff.org/?p=jason/evergr​een_utilities.git;a=tree;f=perl;h=c5befd​94a7746c42862680f13496b0fbf9296333;hb=7c​d10dc86c4dec3c2d458aeb3e175b081c2f7855
10:41 Dyrcona Bmagic: Yeah, that was where I started, and then it could look up holds rules, etc., and find you sample copies.
10:43 kmlussier gmcharlt: Is that how we should identify web client bugs that should be resolved before it's ready for production use, by applying the 2.next target? Or should there also be a tag similar to the jspacremovalblocker one that was used back in the days when we moved to tpac?
10:43 gmcharlt kmlussier: yes and yes, I'd say
10:44 gmcharlt I suggest "webstaffprodcirc" as a tag
10:44 kmlussier gmcharlt: Sounds good to me. Thanks!
10:44 kmlussier I will do so for two bugs now while I'm thinking of it.
10:45 Dyrcona And, grr. That string_agg trick in the having is just not working.... Time to try something else.
10:46 * Dyrcona is trying to find all copies with a certain marc type at a library.
11:03 jboyer-isl Dyrcona: care to paste the query?
11:03 Dyrcona jboyer-isl: I will paste it, but got it working with a second join.
11:04 pastebot "Dyrcona" at 64.57.241.14 pasted "Copies by item type by lib" (15 lines) at http://paste.evergreen-ils.org/18
11:30 * Dyrcona has spent a good deal of time on parameters lately.
11:38 mrpeters joined #evergreen
11:39 bmills joined #evergreen
11:42 csharp @blame parameters
11:42 pinesol_green csharp: parameters forgot to give the gerbils their chocolate-frosted sugar bombs
11:42 jboyer-isl Dyrcona: that's a pretty broad term. SQL parameters, function params, etc.? (I meant to say, I applaud the use of :'param' in your sql, I'd like to see us move on from :bare someday, but tuits and etc.)
11:43 Dyrcona I meant circ and holds parameters, mostly the matchpoints.
11:44 Dyrcona Yeah, I like writing things with placeholders so I can just do psql -f script.sql -vshortname=MCD -vtype=r
11:44 Dyrcona Sometimes I wrap 'em with a copy to csv also.
11:46 Dyrcona I find using :'something' for strings is easier than :something, 'cause then I don't have to remember to -vsomething='''value''' or "'value'"
11:52 csharp ":something in the way she moves..."
11:53 * berick got Abbey Road on vinyl a few months ago
11:54 berick and white album and revolver
12:08 Dyrcona heh
12:10 dbwells berick: vintage or rereleases?
12:11 * dbwells has a couple Beatles albums he pilfered from library discards :)
12:12 Dyrcona Hmm. I should probably add a condition on circ_as_type n that pasted query. I didn't think of it before because our libraries generally don't use it much.
12:12 berick dbwells: rereleases.  i have a 60s-era sgt peppers, but i doubt it's a first press.
12:12 dbwells cool
12:12 berick dbwells: discards?!  travesty, but good for you
12:13 * Dyrcona has some Beatles ripped from CDs he owns.
12:13 Dyrcona My mother has most of their US releases from the '60s on vinyl. Dunno what pressings, though.
12:14 berick heh, yeah, took the sgt pep. from my dad ;)
12:14 berick and some other great stuff
12:14 * Dyrcona has the 45 of I Wanna Hold Your Hand that he "borrowed" from her collection many years ago.
12:14 berick nice
12:15 mrpeters joined #evergreen
12:16 dbwells berick: I've got a record player here in my office, so our media person always gives me first dibs on the good stuff.  We still have a pretty substantial LP collection in our library, and there is constant pressure to reduce or get rid of it.
12:16 * Dyrcona doesn't play the vinyl much any more.
12:16 * Dyrcona has everything Iron Maiden released on vinyl up through Poweslave.
12:16 Dyrcona That was about the time that I "grew out of" my heavy metal phase. ;)
12:16 berick dbwells: figured.. they do take a lot of space
12:19 berick Dyrcona: let me know if you want to unload any metal vinly :)  my wife's a fan.  bonus points for Slayer.
12:19 berick heh @ "metal vinyl"
12:19 Dyrcona heh
12:21 Dyrcona Oh, dang.... That condition on circ_as_type is harder than I thought.
12:21 Dyrcona I want where circ_as_type = type when code != type.
12:21 * dbs played some Maiden for his 9yo daughter a few days back. she enjoyed it
12:21 dbs we clapped along
12:21 Dyrcona dbs++
12:21 berick :)
12:22 dbwells metal vinyl, eh?
12:22 * dbwells pictures a Campbell's promotion where the detached can lid plays the jingle
12:22 Dyrcona My daughter would just be like, "What's that noise?"
12:22 Dyrcona vinyl metal....

12:45 berick do authority thesauri / control sets have any effect on bib linking?  I see authority_control_fields.pl encodes the marc fields and their controlling fields.
12:46 berick is the hope to eventually pull those mappings from the DB or am I misunderstanding the purpose?
12:51 dbs berick: I believe that was the hope
12:52 dbs I'm surprised that hope was not realized back when the thesauri / control sets were added
12:54 berick thanks for confirming, dbs

14:05 bshum #topic EG 2016 Conference Update
14:06 bshum tprokrym: Can you give us a brief update before we hit the specific subitems?
14:06 tprokrym registration is now open and sponsorships are starting to come in.
14:06 bshum tprokrym++ # yay!
14:06 tprokrym the sponsorships are a bit slow but Grace tells me not to worry yet.
14:06 bshum #info EG2016 registration is now open
14:06 bshum #info Support Evergreen and sign up for a sponsorship!
14:07 tprokrym we have our keynote and we are working on social activities and reviewing the catering.
14:07 tprokrym for sponsorships, we have Equinox, itiva, overdrive with commitments to date for emerald data, sparks, and backstage.
14:07 gmcharlt #info gmcharlt = Galen Charlton, ESI, RM
14:08 tprokrym i have a sponsorship spreadsheet which i can share sometime if needed.
14:08 tprokrym so things are moving in the right direction.
14:08 tprokrym any questions?
14:09 tprokrym before i talk about the budget
14:09 montgoc1 How are program proposals coming?
14:09 bshum I was just about to ask what montgoc1 said.  Also, whether proposals will be made public in any way, so that we know who's already speaking about certain subjects, etc.
14:10 bshum (or needling the right people to help speak)
14:10 tprokrym a bit slow.  we have a handful, plus the 3 pre-conferences.  Nothing overwhelming just yet so we are hoping that the registration announcement shakes something loose.
14:10 tspindler what is the deadline for proposals
14:10 tprokrym i can send the current list to the EOB listserv if you want.
14:11 tprokrym deadline is jan 15
14:11 montgoc1 Do we have any feedback from last conference on topics folk are interested in?
14:11 bshum #link Call for proposals email: http://libmail.georgialibraries.org/pipermail​/open-ils-general/2015-September/012241.html
14:12 tspindler if its any consolation, with other conferences I was involved with we got most submissions in the last few days before the deadline
14:12 tprokrym yes. grace sent me several files with feedback from the last several conferences.  We've looked at it and tried to incorporate the ideas into our call for proposal.
14:12 tprokrym well, that's good to know. grace mentioned sponsorships come in around dec/jan.

14:14 tspindler I don't know if they have done it yet but two of my staff were planning to submit something
14:14 abneiman I'm also planning to submit something :)
14:15 bshum Okay, so, budget?
14:15 tprokrym actually i just checked. we have one proposal from rogan, 2 from GA PINES and Emerald is submitting some.
14:16 tprokrym budget: i submitted a new budget because the keynote speaker waived his fee (change of 10% for that line item).  Also the hotel multiplier went down because of tax exemption status.
14:17 tprokrym and the 3rd reason is that NC Cardinal is going to pay for all supplies out of our budget...so again 10% change.
14:17 jpippin joined #evergreen
14:18 tprokrym i thought these were big enough changes to send you  a new budget.
14:18 tspindler I didn't see anything wrong with the proposed budget, however is there a policy decision about 10% that needs to be clarified?
14:18 jpippin Johnnie Pippin - NC Cardinal
14:19 bshum tspindler: Right, I'm not sure it's super clear at the moment whether EOB has to approve 10% changes on lineitem basis or on a global basis.
14:19 tprokrym yes, i wasn't sure.
14:19 bshum kmlussier sent along some good points to the list suggesting we may wish to consider more granular checking.
14:19 bshum Personally, I'm fine with supporting either way.
14:19 tspindler i would propose that it be on the bottom line not line items, we don't need to micromanage it
14:19 * csharp agrees with tspindler
14:19 bshum And appreciate that tprokrym and her committee has come to us anyways.
14:20 abneiman kmlussier suggested by "budget area" as a compromise between line item and overall
14:20 montgoc1 tspindler: I agree as well.
14:20 abneiman I thought that was a good middle ground
14:21 abneiman So not micromanaging at the line item level, but being made aware of large changes in budget "areas" however we would want to phrase that
14:21 tspindler what is the budget area?
14:21 tprokrym so for example, receivables/payables/supplies/sponsorships?
14:23 abneiman sorta
14:23 abneiman (sorry had to pull up the spreadsheet)
14:23 tspindler I'm not sure, I think I would advocate that we are only involved if there is a 10% change expected in overall expenses or revenue
14:23 abneiman Like, Reception, A/V, Food/Beverage
14:24 abneiman But I may be misinterpreting what kmlussier suggested
14:24 tprokrym the current budget (using previous year budget templates) are: registration, exhibitors, sponsorships, catering, reception, a/v, promotional, keynote
14:25 tspindler abneiman: i was rereading kmlussier's comments and I think that is what she was suggesting
14:25 montgoc1 abneiman: that's how understood her proposal.
14:25 abneiman Right, OK.  I see the advantage to her proposal.  But since the consensus seems to be leaning towards only needing EOB approval for an OVERALL variance, I'm OK with that too
14:26 bshum Hmm, since not everyone is here today, I might suggest that we move the discussion and eventual decision on how to handle board approvals for conference budget matters to the list?
14:26 abneiman bshum: +1, sorry didn't intend to derail ;-)
14:26 tspindler a lot could depend on how the budget is presented, if someone presented the budget with just one line item, reception, it could appear differently in the future
14:27 bshum abneiman: No, it's good to discuss, I'd just like to make sure all board members can have the opportunity to chime in on this subject.  Even though we *could* vote and make a decision.
14:27 tspindler what would GAAP say ;)
14:27 bshum For now though
14:27 bshum I'd like to do a simple yes/no on the changes tprokrym has submitted this week.  So that they can continue with their work.
14:27 bshum From my mind, I think we're okay on that front for now.
14:28 montgoc1 Sounds like a plan.
14:28 * bshum takes an action item to keep the discussion alive
14:28 tspindler bshum +
14:28 bshum #action bshum to get further list feedback on 10% budget approval interpretation.
14:29 bshum #vote Approve EG2016 changes suggested Nov '15? Yes, No
14:29 * bshum pokes pinesol_green
14:29 bshum Hmm...
14:29 bshum Oh duh

14:30 bshum Cool, thanks folks
14:30 bshum tprokrym: You have board approval on your revised budget.  For now... :)
14:30 tprokrym hah! thanks.
14:31 bshum Okay, b
14:31 abneiman tprokrym++ thank you!! and graced++
14:31 bshum "Refund Policy recommendation"
14:31 bshum tprokrym: Back over to you again :)
14:31 tprokrym we opened registration without specifying a refund policy.  Grace suggested we move forward while the EOB discusses refund policies.
14:32 tprokrym Whether the EOB goes with a refund deadline + a $30 refund processing fee, or a "no refunds" policy (both are defensible), it should be published somewhere on our site.
14:32 bshum Hmm, is that something that the conference standing committee might be able to help with?
14:32 tspindler what was done in the past?
14:32 tprokrym tony sebro from the SFC was/is concerned. grace, tony, and I have been in contact.
14:33 tspindler if a reimbursement is provided, it should be before any counts are due for food and bevarage etc.
14:34 tprokrym refunds have been given in the past.
14:35 tprokrym i think that tony said last year they charged $50 for a processing fee and had a deadline of 2 weeks after the event.
14:35 montgoc1 As long as we're not out anything, it seems reasonable.

14:36 abneiman two weeks after?
14:36 tprokrym i can look over what boston, sitka did.  i don't have that off-hand.
14:37 tspindler i was involved with boston but i'm afraid i don't remember the details, kmlussier would know
14:37 tprokrym sorry, two weeks before.
14:38 tspindler tpokrym: that makes sense to me and I think taht would be ok in my mind
14:38 tprokrym one week is too short according to tony.
14:38 abneiman oh!  :)  yes, agreed with mongoc1, as long as we're not out anything
14:38 tprokrym tony recommended march 15 as a cut-off for refunds initially.
14:38 * csharp thinks it would be ideal if we had a recommendation after some research that we could then approve...
14:38 tprokrym so one month before.
14:38 csharp like that
14:38 * bshum agrees with csharp
14:38 csharp rather than trying to hash it out right now

14:39 NewUser Hello where can i gind step by step server instalation guide for evergreen 9.2 ? Thank you
14:40 tprokrym sounds good. i just wanted to put it on your radar.
14:40 NewUser Hello where can i find step by step server instalation guide for evergreen 9.2 ? Thank you
14:40 bshum Hi NewUser, we're actually in the middle of a meeting in channel, but if you could give us about 20 more minutes, it should be open for chat again shortly.
14:40 NewUser sure
14:40 csharp NewUser: http://evergreen-ils.org/docume​ntation/install/README_2_9.html (but follow up later)
14:41 bshum If memory serves, I think graced is the board representative to the conference standing committee (which should be composed of other former conference organizers?)
14:41 bshum Perhaps we can assign an action for her to check with others and come up with a proposed policy suggestion.
14:41 csharp I don't recall refunds coming up as in issue in either 2009 or 2011 fwiw
14:41 bshum And we can discuss / vote it later.
14:42 tspindler bshum++
14:43 bshum #action graced to wrangle conference standing committee members and see how previous conferences dealt with refund policy; then craft suggested wording for group discussion/vote
14:43 NewUser Sorry for interuption, i will ping you later (i need for ubuntu documentation like this for 2.9 http://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/d​oku.php?id=server:2.0:install)
14:43 bshum Okay, anything else for tprokrym and crew?
14:43 tprokrym nope. that's it from me.
14:44 bshum tprokrym++ # keep up the good work, looking forward to things!
14:44 montgoc1 tprokrym++
14:44 abneiman tprokrym++
14:44 tspindler tprokrym++
14:44 sherbertbc tprokrym++
14:45 bshum Okay, next subject
14:45 bshum #topic Financial Report
14:45 bshum So, on this front, I have failed to produce the report because apparently ledger is incompatible with Ubuntu 15.10 release
14:45 bshum And I didn't find that out till yesterday, and I'm still working on fixing it.
14:46 bshum If I can't repair my installation, I may have to reinstall on a working system, or otherwise poke about.
14:46 bshum So, sorry.
14:46 bshum #info no report this meeting cause bshum's system is broken :(
14:47 bshum Once I get it working again, I'll try to send out a proper update before the next major discussions.
14:47 bshum But I think it's mostly just conference activities occurring.
14:47 bshum Next subject..
14:47 bshum #topic Evergreen 2.10 RM Report (gmcharlt)
14:48 gmcharlt The roadmap is coming along nicely, and I've got contributions to it from most of the usual suspects
14:48 bshum And sorry to gmcharlt, I realize that we should put a reminder for you on the schedule of things to be done.  And also congratulations gmcharlt for being our fearless RM.
14:48 gmcharlt #link http://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.​php?id=faqs:evergreen_roadmap:2.10

14:48 Dyrcona gmcharlt++ :)
14:48 sherbertbc gmcharlt++
14:49 gmcharlt so, the near-completion of the roadmap is the main substnative update this week
14:49 csharp gmcharlt++
14:49 csharp looks good
14:49 gmcharlt if folks have any immediate questions for me, I'm all ears
14:49 gmcharlt (and boy is it hard to type! ;) )
14:49 bshum Nothing for now, but I reserve the right to recall this witness.
14:49 tspindler none here
14:50 bshum ...... and okay!
14:50 bshum #topic New Business / Next Meeting?
14:51 bshum So regarding the next board meeting, I was thinking that December is close to the major holidays, so perhaps we might want to reconvene next in January instead.
14:51 tspindler it seems fine, it doesn't seem that there are burning issues
14:51 csharp +1
14:51 sherbertbc +1
14:52 bshum aka, skip December 17th, and go for January 21
14:52 montgoc1 I'm cool with whatever.
14:52 abneiman I'm also fine with either
14:52 bshum I think if there are any burning issues, we can always hold a list vote
14:52 bshum For now then, I'll put us down for next meeting January 21, 2016 @ 2:00 pm Eastern.
14:53 bshum Anything else for today?
14:54 bshum Okay then.
14:54 bshum #info Next meeting, January 21, 2016 @ 2:00 pm Eastern
14:54 bshum Thanks for attending everyone!  And we are adjourned for 2015 meetings (unless something unexpected happens)
14:54 bshum #endmeeting

14:55 bshum NewUser: So that wiki page you linked to was an older style guide for installing Evergreen 2.0.  The latest version is like what csharp linked to earlier.
14:55 montgoc1 Happy Thanksgiving y'all.
14:55 bshum It's still pretty step-by-step
14:56 bshum Are you having trouble with any particular area?

15:03 kmlussier I'm about to head into another meeting, but if somebody can view the history of this page, you might get a good idea of how we handled refunds as past conferences. Hood River followed our policy. http://evergreen-ils.org/conferen​ce/eg14/conference-registration/
15:03 bshum History... hmm

15:42 Dyrcona Acquisitions: It's all EDI to me.
15:49 kmlussier bshum: the refund policy from last year - http://pastebin.com/2jpQv9L7
15:52 jboyer-isl Dyrcona++
15:52 Dyrcona What did I do, now? :)
15:53 jboyer-isl Ah, timestamps. 10 minute old jokes are just as amusing at 1 minute old jokes.
15:53 Dyrcona Uh-huh.
15:53 Dyrcona :)
15:57 Dyrcona jboyer-isl: I had just gotten off of a conference call with a book vendor to discuss EDI invoice problems, and I am no more informed than I was before the call.
15:58 jboyer-isl I suspect they weren't much more knowledgeable than yourself and were hoping you would stop and restart something on your end and things would just start working. :)
15:59 Dyrcona @dunno
15:59 pinesol_green Dyrcona: What we have here is a failure to communicate.
15:59 Dyrcona Bingo! pinseol_green wins the prize.
15:59 jboyer-isl pinesol_green++
16:00 Dyrcona pinesol_green++
16:01 Dyrcona What I do know is, the JEDI doesn't seem to match the EDI, at least not in the way that a successful invoice from this vendor looks on another account.
16:02 Dyrcona If that makes any sense.....
16:03 kmlussier Dyrcona: You use the same JEDI template for all of your libraries?
16:04 Dyrcona kmlussier: I really don't know, but I assume "Yes."
16:05 kmlussier Dyrcona: It's an action/trigger template. I would assume 'yes' too. If you didn't change it, then I don't think anyone else would have. :)
16:05 berick inbound EDI (invoic,ordrsp) doesn't rely on a template.  it goes through Utils::EDIReader.pm
16:05 kmlussier Ah, ok. That makes sense.
16:05 berick if the the final result looks wrong, that's a good place to start.
16:05 Dyrcona Well, I suspect something is slightly off on the input, but I don't read EDI.
16:06 berick Dyrcona: not even enough to be fun at parties?
16:06 Dyrcona What I think should happen is the id: for the line items should come from the RFF+LI after the / or whatever.
16:07 berick useful tool:  cd Open-ILS/src/support-scripts/test-scripts/; perl edi_reader.pl <edi_file>
16:07 Dyrcona What happens on this one is they all get the same number from somewhere else in the INVOIC.
16:08 Dyrcona And that seems to be happening with all of the invoices from this vendor for this library, so I'm tempted to say, just stop using that vendor. ;)
16:08 csharp @quote add < Dyrcona> Acquisitions: It's all EDI to me.
16:08 pinesol_green csharp: The operation succeeded.  Quote #129 added.
16:12 Dyrcona Oh, that's no good, PgAdmin. Why you truncate the output?
16:12 Dyrcona That's the second time this week that PgAdmin has failed me.
16:21 Dyrcona oh, well, that's just special.
16:21 Dyrcona The edi_reader gives me something that I think looks different from the JEDI in the database and probably more like the EDI.
16:25 berick the output of EDIReader should be going straight into the 'jedi' column in edi_message
16:26 berick beware jedi for outbound messages is different than inbound messages.  part of the process of getting away from ruby..
16:27 jeff shortest 007 where 007/00=s: 's'
16:28 jeff (i should have seen that one coming)
16:28 berick jeff: funner if it was 'q'
16:28 dbs Evergreen 2.10: The Force Holds Awakens
16:29 Dyrcona berick: Yep, I understand that, but I have in jedi doesn't match what I see from edi_reader.pl.
16:29 Dyrcona jeff berick or m
16:29 berick heh
16:30 Dyrcona Shortest 007 was probably Dalton. :)
16:30 jeff heh
16:31 jeff hrm.
16:31 jeff we have many 007 fields with a large number of trailing spaces.
16:31 Dyrcona But Lazenby only played Bond in 1 film, so depends on how you define "shortest."
16:32 Dyrcona jeff: I would not be surprised we do also.
16:32 Dyrcona if...
16:32 jeff but not in the marcxml.
16:32 jeff interesting.
16:32 jeff or...
16:32 jeff or it's being normalized.
16:32 Dyrcona Now is the time of day where I words.
16:32 Dyrcona ;)
16:33 jeff <controlfield tag="007">sz zunznnnzneu                              </controlfield>
16:33 jeff interesting.
16:33 Dyrcona Well, it's marc and those spaces may have meaning.
16:33 Dyrcona @marc 007
16:33 pinesol_green Dyrcona: This field contains special information about the physical characteristics in a coded form. The information may represent the whole item or parts of an item such as accompanying material. (Repeatable) []
16:33 jeff longest after trimming trailing whitespace is: <controlfield tag="007">snbdncrndbnesnfmngenh​nninnjmnkpnlunmn</controlfield>
16:34 Dyrcona That just looks like someone passed out on the keyboard. That can't possibly mean anything. :)
16:34 Dyrcona But, it's MARC, so it probably does mean something.
16:36 jeff i actually found a video of the moment that 007 was placed on file: http://i.imgur.com/0RS6ND5.gif
