05:38 Dyrcona Good morning, Evergreen!
06:02 Dyrcona Hmm... I should probably remove the pg_sleep()s from this old db update script.
06:02 pinesol News from qatests: Testing Success <http://testing.evergreen-ils.org/~live>
06:09 Dyrcona Some of these queries could probably be made faster.
06:30 Dyrcona Heh: "ON COMMIT DROP" seems like a lack of commitment.
06:33 Dyrcona No wonder our db eventually ends up with 330GB of junk. We have daily updates that truncate tables, insert 8 million+ rows, update 11 million+ rows.... and so on.
06:38 Dyrcona Yeah, 1GB of cruft, and so far, I'm the only one doing anything.
06:39 Dyrcona @blame Dusty Titles
06:39 pinesol Dyrcona: Dusty Titles stole bshum's tux doll!
06:40 Dyrcona True dat!

12:36 rjackson_isl_hom seeing a lot of patron accounts in limbo that are very old (expired pre 2013), have no bills and the reason they appear to be hanging around is non-closed circulations with no fines owed
12:37 rjackson_isl_hom has anyone developed a script to catch these - possibly closing circs that can be closed so the accounts can then be purged by the automated processing from cron?
12:48 mmorgan rjackson_isl_hom: We dealt with this a while back, I'll see if I can dig up those notes.
12:49 rjackson_isl_hom mmorgan++ - was just reading back thru possible/probably cause since the one example I just pulled up is pre-2011
12:49 rjackson_isl_hom https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/758982
12:49 pinesol Launchpad bug 758982 in Evergreen "2.0, 1.6, Transactions not closing for LOST items once xact has been re-opened for modified billings. " [High,Fix released]
12:56 Dyrcona rjackson_isl_hom: It's could be a rounding error and they do owe some microscopic amount. There was a bug for this and it was patched at some point.
13:01 rjackson_isl_hom Dyrcona for the circ I saw as being open and the account expired pre 2013 all entries in money.billing had been voided
13:19 mmorgan rjackson_isl_hom: Maybe bug 1781274
13:19 pinesol Launchpad bug 1781274 in Evergreen 3.4 "Web Client: Transactions Do Not Always Close When Bill Fully Paid" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1781274
13:20 mmorgan That was the most recent one, I think. There were other older ones about transactions not closing that were patched too.
13:23 rjackson_isl_hom mmorgon - no doubt impacted EI patron accounts - looking for a way to close those accounts via script(s) as opposed to reviewing hundreds if not thousands of accounts and transactions
13:24 rjackson_isl_hom actually should be close the transactions so the accounts can be auto-deleted via cron
13:25 mmorgan rjackson_isl_hom: Found an example of a db query I used to close transactions. This was a couple years ago. Not my best work to be sure :-( but I'll share it in a paste.
13:25 pastebot "mmorgan" at 168.25.130.30 pasted "Inelegant query for closing fully paid transactions" (11 lines) at http://paste.evergreen-ils.org/10074
13:25 rjackson_isl_hom mmorgan++
13:30 rjackson_isl_hom the driver set of circ IDs for EI is 7977  - sounds plausible!
13:45 alynn26 mmorgan++
13:56 Cocopuff2018 joined #evergreen
14:40 rjackson_isl_hom mmorgan - now to see after closing 7997 transactions how many extra accounts fall off in the nightly purge!
14:52 mmorgan rjackson_isl_hom++
14:55 rjackson_isl_hom mmorgan some branches might see this as a negative thing depending on reporting being performed locally
15:02 rfrasur abneiman, gmcharlt, jboyer, just noting that my meeting ended.  I think it was the whole thing rather than me crashing.
15:03 gmcharlt rfrasur: yeah, same
15:03 rfrasur okay.  that's one way to rush the conversation :-)
