09:05 dbwells dickreckard: Yes.  As of 3.2, only the web staff client is fully supported.
09:11 dwgreen joined #evergreen
09:22 rhamby dickreckard: it's not likey folks will be using macs as front line circ machines so hatch shouldn't be a major roadblock there
09:24 collum joined #evergreen
09:24 csharp dickreckard: also worth clarifying that the web client and hatch are two separate entities - hatch is the app that allows native-ish printing from the web client
09:24 csharp it's not required to use hatch

11:33 csharp ok, back to our ongoing acq problem where orders are not finishing acq volume/copy creation...
11:33 csharp the workflow as I understand it is that the library creates the order, selects the number of copies, then either clicks "Activate" or goes to "Actions" and selects "Load Bibs and Items"
11:34 csharp then the screen hangs in the UI, and the copies/vols are only partially created
11:34 csharp and then all is lost, since the action is not repeatable
11:34 Dyrcona Timeout issue?
11:34 csharp from the logs, the server process appears to last just a couple of minutes
11:35 csharp Dyrcona: nothing in the logs about that, but where would I look?
11:36 csharp open-ils.acq has a keepalive of 5 on our server
11:36 Dyrcona csharp: It's hard to say, but you might look for drones shutting down after a pause in activity. On a busy server it's really hard to match these things up.
11:36 csharp yeah - that's a big part of our problem :-/
11:37 csharp forensics are nearly impossible
11:37 beanjammin joined #evergreen
11:37 csharp is anyone else out there experiencing anything similar? Christineb? JBoyer?
11:38 Dyrcona I have not had reports of this, though I was asked to "deactivate" a PO this morning.
11:38 csharp this would be workaround-able if there was a "finish creating vols/copies" option
11:38 Dyrcona We're on 3.0, fwiw.
11:38 csharp we are too
11:38 tlittle To deactivate a PO? That's an odd one
11:38 JBoyer We've seen a variety of issues, but things work well enough often enough that it's difficult to track things down.
11:39 tlittle Oh wait, no, I get what they mean.
11:39 Bmagic csharp: We have the exact issue. Everytime, I find that the bib that the item was supposed to be created upon is deleted
11:39 JBoyer I have found reference in the logs to not being able to call id on an un-blessed reference in Order.pm line 1338.
11:39 JBoyer Not a lot going on there though: $copy->call_number($volume->id);
11:40 csharp Bmagic: huh - that's something I've not looked into
11:40 tlittle Bmagic interesting!
11:41 JBoyer Bmagic, that would be a problem, now I have to go check something...
11:42 Bmagic You can see that the software started at the top and crawled down the PO, creating copies and updating eg_copy_id on acq.lineitem_detail until it hit the bre from acq.lineitem where bre.deleted is true
11:46 JBoyer :-/ Different issue for me. Couldn't import the marc for that lineitem, so no vol/copies/etc.
11:47 JBoyer And there it is, TCN already exists, no notification, explanation, anything save for log diving.

11:53 csharp Bmagic++ # we think that's it in our case too
11:53 Bmagic yay!
11:54 tlittle Bmagic++
11:54 Bmagic probably should be a bug report then? I figured it was just us.... :)
11:55 csharp I thought it might be related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1691784, but tlittle reminded me that staff aren't seeing the BIB_RECORD_DELETED error
11:55 pinesol Launchpad bug 1691784 in Evergreen "batch volume transfers need to take acq into account" [Medium,Confirmed]
11:55 tlittle Bmagic can I ask a newb question? You said that you can watch the software crawling through the PO. Where are you seeing that? Did you do a query after the fact or is there something in the logs you can watch?
11:55 Bmagic query after the fact
11:56 tlittle Ok cool. Thanks :D
11:56 Dyrcona JBoyer Bmagic csharp: Looking through the code, there should be an event thrown if the bib is deleted: BIB_RECORD_DELETED
11:56 Bmagic I think the acq.lineitem_detail.id that received the eg_copy_id were in sequence
11:57 sandbergja joined #evergreen
11:57 Dyrcona That's coming from OpenILS::Application::Cat::​AssetCommon->create_volume among other places that the acq create copies code uses.
12:00 nfburton joined #evergreen
12:00 mmorgan We're trying to track down a strange problem with display fields.
12:00 mmorgan https://egtraining.noblenet.org/eg/opac/result​s?query=harry+potter+and+the+goblet+of+fire&am​p;qtype=keyword&amp;fi%3Asearch_format=&amp;lo​cg=1&amp;detail_record_view=0&amp;sort=poprel
12:01 mmorgan Terms are not highlighting consitently, and viewing a full record shows fields duplicated.
12:01 mmorgan This happens from a keyword search, title searches behave differently.
12:01 mmorgan Has anybody seen something similar?
12:04 Bmagic no highlighting is usually an ingest issue, outside of that, I've not heard/troubleshot an issue
12:05 mmorgan Bmagic: We've reingested several times.
12:05 Bmagic darn
12:05 JBoyer We've not seen duplicates like that, the issue we were seeing was that the only things that would appear for some things (such as series) were those that had highlighting. No highlight, no display. Now we disable highlighting.
12:07 mmorgan JBoyer: Interesting.
12:10 mmorgan Is anyone using highlighting in production?
12:10 nfburton We are with 3.1.5
12:11 nfburton It seems to work well
12:12 mmorgan nfburton: Would you mind sharing a catalog link?
12:12 nfburton https://live.nflibrary.ca/eg/opac
12:12 csharp mmorgan: should be active on https://next.gapines.org/eg/opac/home too
12:13 csharp huh - I see the problem on https://next.gapines.org/eg/opac/results?query​=harry+potter&amp;qtype=keyword&amp;fi%3Asearc​h_format=&amp;locg=1&amp;detail_record_view=0
12:13 csharp some "Harry Potter"s are highlighted and others aren't
12:15 nfburton It seems to be on Harry Potter :
12:15 nfburton The : is throwing it off?
12:15 mmorgan Ooh! That makes me feel better! (sorry csharp!)
12:15 nfburton Mine works with them though
12:16 csharp same query as yours, mmorgan: https://next.gapines.org/eg/opac/results?query​=harry+potter&amp;qtype=keyword&amp;fi%3Asearc​h_format=&amp;locg=1&amp;detail_record_view=0
12:16 csharp that's running 3.2.1
12:17 mmorgan Our training server is 3.1.8
12:20 jihpringle joined #evergreen
12:24 nfburton joined #evergreen
12:25 Bmagic mmorgan: 3.1.6 - https://upgrade.missourievergreen.org/eg​/opac/results?query=harry+potter&amp;qty​pe=keyword&amp;fi%3Asearch_format=&amp;l​ocg=1&amp;detail_record_view=0&amp;sort=
12:28 khuckins joined #evergreen
12:29 mmorgan Bmagic: csharp: nfburton: Have you made many changes to the stock indexing?
12:31 csharp Bmagic: so your acq people aren't seeing the BIB_RECORD_DELETED error pop-up either, right?
12:31 Bmagic csharp: right
12:32 khuckins_ joined #evergreen
12:32 tlittle Bmagic do you know if your catalogers workflow is to transfer volumes or to overlay records?
12:33 Bmagic mmorgan: synonym dictionary and NACO Normalize as mentioned here https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku​.php?id=scratchpad:brush_up_search
12:34 Bmagic tlittle: I don't know for sure but my guess is yes those actions do take place (both)
12:35 tlittle The reason I ask is that we used to have our catalogers do a flowchart of whether they should move their holdings to another record or overlay the acq record, depending on if another library had holdings on the acq record. So there was always a thread of an available bib. Then we changed the workflow to simply "transfer your holdings to a good reco
12:35 tlittle rd" with the intent that the last off the record would have the record auto-delete behind them
12:35 mmorgan Bmagic: We are also doing NACO and a synonym dictionary, not sure if it's related.
12:35 tlittle Which is, I think, causing this issue of where someone linked to a bib, and between them linking to the bib and activating, the bib is deleted by another library
12:36 tlittle ...moving their holdings off the record and the record auto-deleting
12:37 Bmagic yep, sounds plausable
12:39 nfburton My catalogue is running stock indexing right now.

12:44 jvwoolf joined #evergreen
12:57 csharp so in at least one case, bug 1691784 appears to be the issue, error message or no

13:06 khuckins_ joined #evergreen
13:30 mmorgan csharp: not sure if this helps, but our local acq guru has this to say:
13:30 mmorgan "I've seen this happen with a missing org unit in one or more of the line items. I recommend to libraries that they not activate or load copies when uploading a file through Load MARC Order Records. The PO will load as pending and can then be activated. If there is an issue with the data, the PO will not activate and will remain pending. The PO can be fixed in this state and can then be activated."
13:37 csharp mmorgan: thanks!  tlittle ^^
13:38 tlittle Thanks mmorgan!

14:40 jeff_ Hrm. Closed Dates Editor does not appear to sort by date in 3.1. I'm not finding an existing bug on that.
14:41 jihpringle jeff: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1746766 (marked as duplicate since it's fixed by https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1766716)

14:41 pinesol Launchpad bug 1766716 in Evergreen "Emergency closing handler" [Wishlist,Fix released]
14:43 jeff Interesting.
14:43 jeff jihpringle++
14:44 jeff A new feature in 3.2 replaces an interface which has a bug in 3.1.
14:44 jeff I'm not sure that marking as a duplicate is useful in this case.
14:49 Dyrcona jeff: If you plan to fix it for 3.1, then you could remove the duplicate status.
14:51 Dyrcona Or, maybe it shouldn't be a duplicate and just mentioned that it affects only 3.1?
15:01 * csharp signs off on bug 1793802 but defers to RMs as to which branches should get the change

15:07 * Dyrcona took it upon himself to undupe the bug. :)
15:08 JBoyer So, I'm trying to add additional icon_format entries that aren't tied to search_formats; a fool's errand? (I can see the value I want in icon_format in the db, the icon refuses to display...)
15:16 Dyrcona oops. Forgot to add the IRC link to my bug comment....
15:17 Dyrcona JBoyer: I don't remember if you need a search_format or not. I think I knew at one point, but the situation may also have changed since then.
15:18 JBoyer It's starting to increasingly look that way. Thought I'd ask in case anyone has fought this battle recently.

16:06 mmorgan @hate circ policies
16:06 pinesol mmorgan: The operation succeeded.  mmorgan hates circ policies.
16:13 * collum_ read 'circ policies' as 'circ politics' out of the corner of his eye.
16:14 mmorgan Those are no fun either :)
16:14 rhamby circ politics gets scary, sometimes all the fiction vote "no confidance" on all the 900s and then it gets bitter
16:14 rhamby confidence even
16:15 Dyrcona No confidants.... :)

16:33 jihpringle does anyone know the bug number for the bug about report templates not showing if you limit output to All (or in some cases anything more than 10)?
16:33 jihpringle I'm sure I saw the bug recently but I can't find it now
16:36 Dyrcona jihpringle: I believe it is https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1756142
