08:23 rfrasur rhamby, perhaps a beloved pup is reborn on such days.
08:23 rhamby rfrasur: that is a nice though :)
08:23 rhamby thought even
08:24 rfrasur I think so, too, rhamby.  Angel's (the dog - not the spirit entity) is REALLY starting to act her age, and it's sad.

11:41 pinesol Bmagic: Error: Failed to load Wunderground API. Check the logs for more information.
11:41 Bmagic ha! It's that bad
11:43 Bmagic I am about to create a new LP bug for receipt templates needing patron stat cats values. I don't seem to be able to find an already-existing bug.
11:46 jeff Interesting. In your use case, what kind of stat cat, and what kind of receipt?

12:09 alynn26 Bmagic, I would be interested too.  There is not a LP bug for that.
12:09 Bmagic jeff: stat cat for "school" and for holds receipt
12:12 dbs So -- RFID input for the web staff client -- does it just input barcodes like a barcode scanner?
12:15 * dbs looks at bug 1437103 -- seems like it

13:25 blongwel had situation where two new items were checked in within 9 minutes of each other and both put in transit to fill the same hold, even though ultimately only one was actually captured for the hold. Is there a way to avoid this?

14:15 jeff blongwel: Interesting. Have you looked at logs to see if anything unusual was done, such as retargeting the hold?
14:16 jeff blongwel: were the items checked in with the checkin modifier to retarget local holds? were the transits to another library, or to the checkin library (a la "capture local holds as transits")?
14:16 jeff blongwel: and, what version of Evergreen?
14:25 Dyrcona I'm pretty sure there's a Lp bug for this already, but damned if I can find it: I just encountered a situation where paying off bills on 8 circulations set xact_finish on all but 1 of the transactions, and they were all renewed just before paying the bills.
14:28 Dyrcona Renewal actually generated the bills, since I haven't run the fine generator on this test system.
14:33 jeff doesn't ring a bell. anything (else) unusual about the one transaction?
14:34 jeff renewal operation completed before the bills were paid?
14:34 jeff fine generation on checkin (renewal) doesn't kick off anything async in the background, does it?
14:35 Dyrcona No. Yes. No.
14:38 jeff was it the "last" circ renewed? if you check xact_start on the child circ and compare it to the other seven child circs?
14:38 jeff (i think they get unique timestamps, even if done as a batch)
14:43 jeff do you get a "closing transaction 12345 because balance_owed == 0" for the transaction in question?
14:51 Dyrcona It was the last one renewed.
14:51 blongwel jeff: not sure if they had the checkin modifier set, the transits were to another library. We are on 3.1.11.
14:54 blongwel jeff: I was speculating that possibly hold_targeter.pl was not running often enough. We are running it at 15 minutes and 45 minutes after the hour
14:56 Dyrcona It was also the last xact paid.
14:57 mmorgan Dyrcona: lp 1781274
14:57 pinesol Launchpad bug 1781274 in Evergreen "Web Client: Transactions Do Not Always Close When Bill Fully Paid" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1781274
14:58 Dyrcona blongwel: I don't think the hold_targeter is at issue, though it might be. We run ours every 15 minutes.
14:58 Dyrcona mmorgan++ I knew there had to be a bug, but Lp search is terrible.
14:58 mmorgan I run across that occasionally, too, usually comes to light when staff try and delete a patron record.
15:02 Dyrcona Well, I found it while looking into a previous patron's circulation being aged for an item after it was renewed to the current patron. I had data from before and was seeing what happened on my test system, so thought I'd "pay" the bills, too.
15:02 Dyrcona And, I think what I was looking into could be considered a bug, depending on your perspective.

15:04 Dyrcona It's bugs all the way down. :)
