13:22 pinesol kmlussier: Quote #88: "< eeevil> Now I am become Death, the destroyer of SIP2." (added by csharp at 04:45 PM, August 13, 2014)
13:23 miker evergreen (ha! see what I did there?!) quote, if I do say so myself

14:11 * berick wonders if hold-transits should get canceled in open-ils.circ.hold.cancel now that we have that capability
14:12 * mmorgan 's ears perk up
14:13 mmorgan hold-transits don't get cancelled now?
14:15 berick interestingly, if the hold is "reset" its transit is canceled
14:15 berick if the hold is canceled, the transit is not canceled
14:15 berick that probably answers my question...
14:16 mmorgan So this sounds like it would take care of canceling transits when patrons cancel their own holds.
14:17 berick mmorgan: yeah
14:17 berick well, patrons or staff
14:18 mmorgan In xul, staff get asked if they want to cancel the transit after canceling the hold. Not sure about the web client.
14:18 berick oh, huh
14:19 berick i was just reading the code, maybe it's something we've solved in practice
14:23 csharp I don't think it cancels the transit
14:23 berick confirmed in master.  canceling a hold updates the transit, so the copy will go back to reshelving, but leaves the hold uncanceled
14:27 mmorgan berick: Do you mean "cancelling the transit"?
14:27 berick sorry, yes, I meant it leaves the transit un-canceled
14:27 berick (the hold does get canceled)
14:28 * mmorgan runs away for a bit.
14:50 * miker doesn't understand why a (non-lost) transit should be canceled ... that's what the copy is currently doing, and we should retain that knowledge, no?
14:51 miker in the reset case, it kinda makes sense if you assume the reset is because the copy was scanned, captured, put in transit, and /then/ staff notice it's all busted up
14:53 collum joined #evergreen
14:54 berick miker: yeah, i know what you mean, and I suspect that's why it is the way it is.  my thinking was now that we can cancel instead of deleting, we retain the info, in a way where no additional steps are required to clear the transit.
14:56 miker you still have to scan it when it physically arrives, though. I mean, I assume. I wouldn't imagine there's a printed list of barcodes that staff filter for when a tub of books shows up
14:58 berick miker: definitely, this is an edge case, still unpacking, but I think maybe the copy ends up somewhere else for whatever reason, and it really wants to keep doing to the pickup lib, even though it's no longer needed there.
14:59 berick mostly, I wanted to confirm my understanding, and I can understand wanting to keep the transit alive
15:01 khuckins joined #evergreen
15:01 berick I found some local custimazations that delete such transits at checkin time, presumably so staff won't have to.  I smells a possible YAOUS drifting in the breeze
15:02 berick (to cancel, though, not delete)
15:13 berick miker: recall why we never used prev_hop for transits went to the wrong branch?
15:14 miker berick: just never happened, I think. the /orig/ orig idea was to be able to model multi-hop "routing", IIRC
15:15 miker so not necessarily for wrong branch, but for PINES-like sorting centers, where the route may be dynamically identified on demand
15:15 berick as in, the destination may change while it's en route?
15:16 miker where each hop knows what it connects to, but not a full path. but, since that is unlikely to happen, I think "wrong branch" or "wasn't needed at that branch, going elsewhere, here's what just happened" would be a good use for that
15:16 berick ok, cool, i'll open an LP.  yeah, it's an easy bit of additional useful data
15:26 * mmorgan returns and catches up.
15:27 miker berick++
15:29 mmorgan Just want to mention with our delivery system, if a transit got canceled before an item reached the sorting site, it would be sent home rather than making it to the original destination.
15:34 berick mmorgan: in that scenario, what's the preferred outcome, that it go home or keep going?
15:35 mmorgan Go home:)
15:35 berick mmorgan: ok, good to know, so there's def. a use case for such a setting
15:35 mmorgan No point in it going somewhere else just to go back in delivery.
15:35 khuckins_ joined #evergreen
15:36 berick mmorgan: i assumed, but good to confirm
15:40 berick a much better use case than what I was thinking about, in fact
15:42 miker fwiw, I'm imagining "not needed /here/ because we force-filled a hold with another copy" and it gets captured at the dest for another (remote) hold
15:44 berick yeah if it's returned home, there will certainly be cases where it goes right back out again, but there will presumably be many times where it doesn't.
15:45 berick overall reducing deliveries
15:46 miker well, you can already make that happen
15:46 mmorgan In our case, holds go home, so if there's a hold at home and the item continues to its destination, it will turn right around and go home anyway.
16:10 mmorgan Another frustration we sometimes see about transits. If a remote hold has been canceled, and the transit has not been, the owning library with the item in hand can't just check it in to clear the transit, even if there's reason for the item to be going anywhere else.
16:11 mmorgan The transit needs to be canceled before the owning library can check it in. If they're unaware of the canceled hold, they may end up sending it in delivery just to have the transit clear on the other end so it can come home again.
16:11 berick yeah, that's the scenario I was picturing.
16:14 mmorgan berick++
16:15 jeff hrm. hold placed sunday has a current copy at a library that is closed sundays and mondays. not sure if this is unusual or not.
16:18 mmorgan jeff: ou settings?   circ.holds.target_when_closed,   circ.holds.target_when_closed_if_at_pickup_lib ?
16:18 jeff nope, second thing i checked! first was hours of operation.
16:19 berick jeff: certainly not supposed to happen
16:19 mmorgan Is the hold captured?
16:20 jeff nope.
16:20 yboston joined #evergreen
16:20 mmorgan Do I remember that hours of operation is not consulted, only days closed is consulted?
16:22 berick jeff: what's the retarget interval?
16:23 berick mmorgan: confirmed hours of op. are not consulted, only close days
16:23 jeff ah.
16:23 jeff that would do it, then.
16:24 jeff library is routinely closed on the weekdays in question, it isn't a "holiday" style closure.
16:24 jeff so my expectations were out of sync, it seems.
16:25 mmorgan lp 1665400

16:34 kmlussier berick: Can I remove you from the assigned column for bug 1514085?
16:34 pinesol Launchpad bug 1514085 in Evergreen "Feature Request: Make Vandelay Asynchronous/Stateless" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1514085 - Assigned to Bill Erickson (berick)
16:35 berick kmlussier: yes, thank you
16:35 * berick needs to practice his preachings
16:37 kmlussier berick: We all do.
16:38 kmlussier berick: In the current implementation, then, Vandelay is still in Dojo?
16:38 berick kmlussier: yes, that branch only fixes the status updates / data streaming issues.
16:38 berick Then ang6 code is in a different branch
16:39 kmlussier berick: OK, thanks!
16:39 berick i'll add the ang6 support for the new tracker table once it's merged to master
16:57 jihpringle can someone tell me at what point of a release cycle newly translated strings stop being included?  ie, do translations need to be submitted prior to Beta or can we submit them right up to the .0 release?
17:03 berick jihpringle: we have string slush and freeze dates.  the end of this week is the current slush date, where (IIUC) strings that need translating should existing where translators can get to them
17:03 berick the string freeze, where we stop accepting new values is at the RC release, currently sept 19
17:04 berick so if you're talking about untranslated strings already in LP, you have a few weeks

17:26 khuckins joined #evergreen
17:29 jihpringle thanks berick, we're at the stage of adding the translations for existing strings so good to know we have a few weeks
17:34 rlefaive joined #evergreen
17:34 berick jihpringle: have you have seen any of the discussion around translating the angular6 stuff?  there was one note about it buried in my email from today.
17:34 berick could use some feedback from translators
17:37 rlefaive joined #evergreen
17:59 Bmagic I can't figure out why my OPAC search results are not showing the search highlighting. It's upgraded production data on a dev machine. Using default OPAC tt2 templates. Is there a global flag? or library setting. I see that there is a line in config.tt2 but it's commented out
18:10 dbwells Bmagic: The only global flag I know of is the "no highlight" flag which I assume you are saying is the commented out one.  Maybe a dumb question, but is the "highlight" search modifier on in the OPAC iterface?
18:15 dbwells Well, I guess that is a "disable" box as well, so probably not it.
18:38 jihpringle berick: I saw the bit about translations in your email.  At this point we're just looking at the patron facing translations (TPAC and self check) so I don't think applies to us yet
18:38 Bmagic dbwells: I do see the checkbox on the OPAC "disable highlighting" and it's unchecked
18:39 berick jihpringle: gotcha, thanks
