11:05 Dyrcona Whee! Fun with autovacuum apparently impacting performance. We have a long running autovacuum on the hold copy map and people are having trouble printing their pull lists. If I cancel it, it comes right back. I suspect it may have something to do with transaction wraparound, but I've found no evidence of that in the database, logs, nor process titles. (It's supposed to be indicated if autovacuum runs to prevent TXID wraparou

13:24 csharp Dyrcona: I've been there - yeah, it's probably approaching a thresholds, but that should be noted in the logs
13:24 csharp er.. a *threshold*
13:25 csharp it brought PINES to a crawl years ago when we were still on spinning rust and not hardware-optimized for PG
13:26 Dyrcona csharp: Yeah. Nothing about "wraparound" in the logs, process titles, or pg_stat_activity.
13:26 csharp also, I *think* autovac can be tweaked with a reload but I'm not sure
13:27 Dyrcona It keeps coming back, though. I've got two autovacuums that run recurrently: action.hold_copy_map and action_trigger.event.
13:27 Dyrcona The first runs just over an hour and the latter about 2.5 hours. I think we're just extra busy with holds today.
13:29 csharp btw, https://bucardo.org/check_postgres/ is great for monitoring and ad hoc checking of PG health
13:29 csharp in case you weren't familiar
13:29 sandbergja joined #evergreen
13:30 sandbergja We are seeing some patrons whose holds are Suspended, but they didn't necessarily mean them to be.  Could they have just checked the "Suspend" box on the hold form without realizing what it did?  Or are there other potential causes I should investigate?
13:32 tlittle Is there any other EDI segment other than the NAD+BY where Evergreen might be pulling the buyer_san from? Or anything else that might be in play besides EDIReader.pm? Ingram is putting the account number in the NAD+BY::91, and I have multiple accounts where that's linking fine to the correct org unit, and one new one where it doesn't work and I
13:32 tlittle cannot find any difference between them. Why does it work for almost all of them, when it looks like EDIReader.pm is only looking for the org unit SAN in the NAD+BY and that's not there? Gah.
13:33 sandbergja tlittle: that sounds familiar, let me check my email
13:34 Dyrcona sandbergja: Staff may have suspended them. Also, have you done any database updates to suspend holds because of the pandemic?
13:34 tlittle Oh, thank you, sandbergja !
13:35 sandbergja tlittle: I see something about SANs in the :31B
13:37 sandbergja Dyrcona: good point!  Probably time for some staff education about suspended holds.  I could see us clicking on that without really understanding it.  We haven't done any mass hold suspending, but that doesn't mean that somebody else in the consortium didn't do something similar and it hit us by mistake...
13:38 sandbergja tlittle: is that for ORDRSP or INVOIC messages?
13:38 tlittle sandbergja hmm. This is for INVOIC messages
13:40 sandbergja The issue we ran into was that our vendor was putting our SAN in NAD+BY+[SAN]::92 in INVOICs, which doesn't work
13:40 sandbergja We asked them to do NAD+BY+[SAN]::31B instead, and then INVOICs started getting connected correctly
13:41 sandbergja No idea if that is relevant to your situation or not...
13:42 tlittle See, I don't see the SAN at all in the NAD+BY in these files. It's in the header, but not in the NAD+BY. And I have like 10 accounts where that works just fine and everything connects. But I add this one new account and it's not working. I see no difference in the way they've formatted this invoice message vs. those other accounts, or the way that
13:42 tlittle the org units are set up. I am totally stumped (a) why it works at all, and (b) why it works for most of them but not this one
13:43 sandbergja :-( :-( :-(
13:43 tlittle Thank you for looking for me, though! EDI is just deciding to be a real special snowflake, bless its heart...
13:43 sandbergja edi--
13:54 sandbergja tlittle: do you have access to run the edi_reader support script?
13:54 sandbergja in the test folder
13:54 sandbergja this doodad: https://github.com/evergreen-library-syst​em/Evergreen/blob/master/Open-ILS/src/sup​port-scripts/test-scripts/edi_reader.pl
13:54 csharp pretty sure she does...
13:55 tlittle Ooh, interesting.
13:55 csharp I may have added a bash wrapper for that
13:55 tlittle csharp oh, excellent
13:55 sandbergja Oh, nice!  I have only used it once or twice (putting the EDI message into a text file, and then running edi_reader.pl [edi_filename])
13:56 sandbergja but maybe it will help in seeing the EDI message through Evergreen's eyes, so to speak
13:56 tlittle sandbergja That's a great idea, I will totally try that
13:56 tlittle sandbergja++
13:56 csharp oh - I'm thinking of the EDI order pusher in test mode
13:57 csharp easy enough to do though, probably

14:12 sandbergja tlittle: now that I look closer, that script is more or less the same as what you'd find in the JEDI column/field of the EDI messages interface
14:15 tlittle sandbergja Ah, gotcha. I think csharp has solved it, though! And it's because I can't read, so...sorry for the shade, EDI. Ingram isn't sending a SAN in the NAD+BY, so it looks like it falls back on the vendacct in the EDI account, and the vendacct they're sending is wrong. *sigh*
14:15 sandbergja csharp++
14:17 tlittle csharp++
14:20 csharp I'll confirm that for future log readers - if the buyer_san is undef, as it is in Ingram's case, it looks up the EDI account by the buyer_acct (NAD+BY+{buyer_acct}::91) which would be located in acq.edi_account.vendacct

15:07 Dyrcona That's done, btw!
15:07 JBoyer Dyrcona++
15:07 JBoyer I thought I remembered seeing that.
15:08 JBoyer In the interest of time, are there any updates for Evergreen, OpenSRF, or Hatch releases? There's nothing on the agenda so unless someone has a last minute EUREKA I'm going to skip them all

15:10 terranm mmorgan++
15:10 JBoyer anything you'd like to call out specifically mmorgan?
15:11 mmorgan They're all important, just wanted to keep a good supply of low hanging fruit for folks that might have time to do some committing.
15:11 JBoyer (I do know there's been interest expressed in bug 1857060 also if we want to turn it up to 11)
15:11 pinesol Launchpad bug 1857060 in Evergreen "A few changes needed to accomodate 979 ISBNs" [Medium,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1857060
15:11 JBoyer Sounds good. mmorgan++
15:12 mmorgan I could certainly have included more :) but 10 seemed a reasonable number.
15:12 JBoyer Well, this morning I was messing with LP searches and came up with these:
15:12 JBoyer #link https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bugs?ord​erby=-importance&amp;field.status%3Alist=NEW&a​mp;field.status%3Alist=CONFIRMED&amp;field.sta​tus%3Alist=TRIAGED&amp;field.status%3Alist=INP​ROGRESS&amp;field.tag=pullrequest+-signedoff+-​needsrepatch&amp;field.tags_combinator=ALL LPs with pullrequests ready to test
15:12 JBoyer and
15:12 JBoyer #link https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bugs?ord​erby=-importance&amp;field.status%3Alist=NEW&a​mp;field.status%3Alist=CONFIRMED&amp;field.sta​tus%3Alist=TRIAGED&amp;field.status%3Alist=INP​ROGRESS&amp;field.tag=pullrequest+signedoff+-n​eedsrepatch&amp;field.tags_combinator=ALL LPs with signedoff branches ready to look over + push if good
15:13 csharp holy craznap
15:13 JBoyer So if 10 bugs isn't enough challenge folks can look through around 130+ there, heh.
15:13 JBoyer Those are, believe it or not, significantly shorter than they started.
15:13 mmorgan JBoyer++
15:14 terranm Yeah, we tested a lot during the last few bugsquash/feedback fests
15:14 JBoyer Which kind of winds us around to the topic I mentioned briefly in my email reminder this morning.
15:15 JBoyer #topic How can these meetings be made more effective / beneficial
15:15 Topic for #evergreen is now How can these meetings be made more effective / beneficial (Meeting topic: 2021-01-05 - Developer Meeting, Agenda Available at https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/dok​u.php?id=dev:meetings:2021-01-05)
15:16 JBoyer I know most of an afternoon is not a lot of time to really give this much thought, especially after the second day back to work for many / most folks, but even if you don't have any thoughts or suggestions today I'd like you all to think about where these may fall flat or how they may be even better than they already are in future.
15:18 sandbergja These meetings can be particular helpful when we have a thorny (or controversial) issue on the docket to discuss
15:18 sandbergja Maybe we could schedule some more of those?
15:18 berick sandbergja: agreed.  having a focus is helpful
15:18 JBoyer Also bear in mind I'm not staking any claim on running these meetings. If someone has some Big Ideas and wants to take the wheel we can certainly see how that works out. Though I do find that it helps to make some assumptions about who is running things if nothing else so they can have their calendar prod them to prod the rest of us, heh
15:18 sandbergja Also, I always look forward to these meetings because of JBoyer's jokes
15:18 * JBoyer does what he can
15:18 csharp I think having *something* scheduled is important since we can be a big disorganized blob of a dev community
15:19 csharp so even if some months it's kind of looking at each other it's better than not doing anything
15:19 dbwells #info dbwells = Dan Wells, Hekman Library (Calvin University)
15:20 csharp also, I think we're more chatty when we're focused on the next bugsquash or other structured dev activity
15:21 JBoyer sandbergja, I'm not sure I follow what you meant by "Maybe we could schedule some more of those?" More meetings like this, or more specialized discussions at a certain time, something else entirely, etc?
15:21 csharp for my part, I'm straight off vacation and prepping for next weekend's PINES upgrade
15:21 sandbergja More specialized discussions
15:21 mmorgan Maybe each meeting, in addition to other business, we could look at a certain bug that's languishing, or a certain group of related bugs, so there's something on the agenda each month.
15:21 sandbergja Say, have a topic of the month
15:21 csharp (going to 3.6.1 in case people are curious)
15:21 terranm +1
15:21 csharp new devs offer a model like that
15:22 sandbergja If we want to have a lot of discussion sometime, we could always have a topic like "Should we move to Github, Gitlab, etc."  :-)
15:22 csharp or this agenda item: finally settle the self-hosted gitolite vs. other options thing
15:22 csharp jinx
15:23 sandbergja Or strategizing on improving test coverage, since that always comes up, but we never really make a plan about it
15:23 JBoyer Ugh. Yeah. That one only seems to get real traction when discussed in person.
15:24 csharp moving onto another git platform would offer built-in testing stuff too, which would affect sandbergja's idea there
15:24 JBoyer There was a rough consensus around GitHub during the hackaway, so that's kind of progress. (*If* we're moving, we know where to. :D )
15:24 terranm It might be a good idea to have a status update on numbers of commits, new bug reports, etc. each month.
15:25 mmorgan +1
15:25 terranm Last month we discussed each core committer having a goal of committing at least one patch per month - maybe that could be in the status update too
15:26 mmorgan And also stats on open bugs, those with pullrequests and signoffs so we know how much work there is to do and how much gets done.
15:26 terranm +1
15:26 sandbergja We also might need some coordination of large projects with tons of lp tickets (I'm thinking getting the bootstrap opac ready for 3.7)
15:27 JBoyer Lots of good ideas. I might have to re-adjust my calendar reminders at this rate. ;)
15:28 JBoyer sandbergja, Something like a Bootstrap-themed bug squashing week would be good. (doesn't have to be that specific event but similar in spirit I assume)
15:28 JBoyer I do think there are several bootstrap bugs in that signedoff LP search link.
15:28 sandbergja JBoyer: yeah, that sounds good!
15:29 csharp also, we saw the value of video meetings for the EG conf and Hackaway - maybe every few months could be a hosted Zoom/Google/whatever call that gets recorded for the archives
15:29 mmorgan Agree about coordination of large projects, we often find ourselves in the position of wanting to use a new feature after an upgrade, but finding there are too many bugs remaining to make it useful/possible to implement.
15:30 csharp the main reason for IRC meetings is automatic minutes and ultimate transparency, but with good minute taking and a video record, maybe that would spirit would be preserved
15:30 csharp er.. too many "would"s there
15:31 terranm +1
15:31 mrisher It would be great to get more visibility on old pull requests.  I sometimes come across old pull requests I submitted long ago that need a look.
15:31 JBoyer I can also see people specifically avoiding video meetings, especially if they're recorded. So we shouldn't consider only those, but they would make a nice addition.
15:31 JBoyer mrisher++
15:32 mrisher maybe make a special category of untested pull request that are older than a certain length.  (6 months?  3?)
15:33 JBoyer I feel like ~6 is a good time to call them out. Any branches would almost certainly require a rebase at that point.
15:33 * mmorgan likes the idea of curated lists that are not so big that they are overwhelming to look at
15:34 terranm +1
15:34 JBoyer True. My links above are maybe a little overwhelming.
15:34 mmorgan JBoyer: They are comprehensive:)
15:34 JBoyer So, it sounds like we have a lot of very good ideas. I am but one person who has made some poor choices re: time, does anyone have anything they feel passionately about and want to take an action item?
15:35 JBoyer Noting that "action item" does not necessarily mean "done by 2021-02-02"
15:35 JBoyer (though that would be nice also)
15:36 Dyrcona Should we survey again about good times for these meetings? I"ve noticed a lack of certain names participating lately.
15:36 JBoyer Probably not a bad idea.
15:37 JBoyer #action JBoyer will poll the community about possible dev meeting times
15:38 JBoyer I'll send a couple emails and drop notes in here a couple different times over the next week or two.
15:38 berick JBoyer++
15:40 sandbergja What other action items are there?
15:42 JBoyer Whatever anyone would like to commit to doing. :) Organizing a bootstrap-fest or something like it, mmorgan is handling a top 10 bugs list now and then, does someone want to re-surface specifically old bugs, or some other metric, etc.
15:42 sandbergja I could make a list of cool old bugs!
15:42 sandbergja Probably taking a lot of inspiration from mmorgan's lists
15:43 JBoyer #action sandbergja will put together a list of older bugs that need attention
15:43 mmorgan sandbergja++
15:43 JBoyer sandbergja++
15:43 * mmorgan will continue with the top ten list, and is open for nominations for said list
15:43 terranm sandbergja++
15:43 terranm mmorgan++
15:43 JBoyer the nice thing about that is if there are any xul-related bugs (other than "strip out the rest of it") they can be marked won't fix, also helping. :)
15:43 mrisher sandbergja++
15:44 sandbergja Oh, that's another large topic we should discuss at some point: getting rid of dead code (including xul)
15:44 mmorgan +1
15:44 terranm +1
15:45 mmorgan It's frustrating when digging through code only to realize what you're looking at is not used anymore
15:45 JBoyer And potential refactoring. Are there perl mods we're no longer using, are there any we're using very little of and can be written-out, etc. Fewer dependencies, fewer bugs we didn't write. ;)
15:45 sandbergja Very true
15:46 terranm Next Feedback Fest is Feb 8-12, and my goal is to load as many patches for testing as possible again
15:46 JBoyer (to a point. Anyone that suggests "roll our own crypto!" gets put in time out.)
15:46 JBoyer terranm++
15:46 sandbergja I nominate dead code removal + refactoring desires as a discussion item for the February meeting
15:46 mrisher terranm++
15:46 sandbergja as in our wishes related to refactoring
15:49 JBoyer #info Feedback Fest is February 8-12
15:50 JBoyer We can also continue to think about ways to improve these meetings.
15:51 JBoyer Additionally, releases are scheduled for 2021-01-20 I believe, so now's the time to hit those lists good and hard (be they 10 or 100+).
15:51 JBoyer I know gmcharlt has said that he would be able to help with that some though he's not able to be here today.
15:52 Dyrcona The releases are going to be security releases, so we'll need some extra coordination.
15:52 csharp reminder to make sure you "claim" each bug by assigning it to yourself
15:52 JBoyer Dyrcona++
15:52 JBoyer csharp++
15:52 Dyrcona At some point, we'll need to declare a commit moratorium.
15:53 JBoyer Ah, right. Hadn't thought about that, good point.
15:53 JBoyer What has the timeframe been like on that in the past, a week, slightly more, slightly less?
15:54 Dyrcona Nothing drastic, just a day or so around release time.
15:54 JBoyer Oh, right. It's not like an RC release and all of that..
15:54 Dyrcona Though, it depends on how long it takes us to get the releases together.
15:55 JBoyer Maybe to be on the safe side, if we're aiming for a 1/20 release we call a hold on the Thursday prior?
15:55 JBoyer Eh, that is basically a week.
15:56 Dyrcona We have been slow getting the last couple of releases out.
15:56 Dyrcona Granted, the last one happened right before the US Thanksgiving holiday.
15:57 sandbergja How about 1/18 as the cut-off?
15:57 sandbergja Then we would have all of 1/19 and 1/20 to work on the release
15:58 Dyrcona That sounds good for now. I suppose that we could change it if necessary.
15:58 JBoyer I think that would work for me.
15:59 Dyrcona Oh! I just realized that 1/18 is a US Holiday, and I'm supposed to do a bunch of O/S upgrades that day.
16:00 JBoyer And I'm off, and csharp is upgrading, and, and. oops.
16:00 Dyrcona Moving to Ubuntu 18. It should still be OK for me.
16:00 sandbergja Hmmm... maybe we should change the date of the release?
16:00 sandbergja That sounds like a lot, no matter when we have the commit cut-off
16:00 Dyrcona Maybe. We've been consistently late anyway.
16:02 JBoyer I think pushing back the release 1 week is no problem, especially since we have to include a 1-2 day commit freeze. I'm still good with a Monday freeze, Wednesday release on 1/27 if that works with everyone else.
16:02 gmcharlt +1
16:02 Dyrcona That works for me. I was just about to suggest pushing it back a week.
16:02 sandbergja +1
16:03 JBoyer #info January releases pushed back to 2021-01-27
16:03 JBoyer That much more time to squeeze in those bugs! :)
16:04 JBoyer I just noticed it's past 4, and I thought this would be a shorter than usual meeting. Anything else to discuss before I shut it down?
16:04 Dyrcona Yeahp.
16:04 Dyrcona I updated the dev calendar, and I'll get the milestones in Lp.

16:06 gmcharlt sandbergja: random question for you - for the course materials module, is one of the ideas that students could get linked to courses? would that be to support access control in the future? and if so, would there need to be some sort of future data exchange with the course registration system?
16:08 sandbergja gmcharlt: yes, the idea was that students could get linked to courses.  Less for access control, and more with the hopes of a future OPAC display where students could log in and see all their course materials in one place.
16:09 sandbergja And yes, that would rely on some kind of regular information-grabbing from the course registration system
16:09 gmcharlt running every five minutes during drop/add, presumably ;)
16:10 sandbergja hahaha yeah
16:11 gmcharlt thanks - just wanted to make sure of the use case
16:15 sandbergja Oh, one other thing we wanted to do was to send out automatic emails to students near the start of the term using A/T saying "You know the $300 textbook required for your class?  Well, here are some copies available for you in the Library"

16:16 gmcharlt ah
16:16 * gmcharlt imagines the potential for internecine warfare between library and campus bookshop ;)
16:17 sandbergja Yeah, your political mileage may vary with that one
16:17 sandbergja Fortunately, we have a very good relationship with our bookstore. :-)
16:17 gmcharlt cool :)
