10:48 jeff well that's annoying. usually when I come across MARC data that claims one encoding but is actually another encoding it's from a migration. Yesterday and today, it's from OCLC.
10:48 jeff (maybe this happens all the time and I'm not normally in a position to notice it)
11:18 Dyrcona jeff: Yes, that happens to us, OCLC records with bad data/encodings.
11:35 csharp 12939 open-ils.actor.get_barcodes - that's the number of calls this hour
11:36 csharp 10204 open-ils.actor.settings.retrieve.atomic
11:36 csharp something needs a fixin'
11:36 csharp our open-ils.actor drones are getting swamped
11:38 csharp planning to be off Friday through Monday - might have to set up a cron to restart opensrf everywhere every 15 mins
11:41 csharp or write a script that monitors whether certain catalogers are going to do batch updates today and if so, restart opensrf constantly?

12:59 jeffdavis csharp: there's a recent bugfix to reduce settings calls which might help with open-ils.actor - I don't have the LP# handy but IIRC it's in master, Dan Briem was the author I think
13:02 jeff bug 1918362
13:02 pinesol Launchpad bug 1918362 in Evergreen 3.6 "Unchanged workstation settings are re-applied on every checkin" [Medium,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1918362
13:03 jeff csharp: regarding open-ils.actor.get_barcodes, do you use barcode completion rules at all?
13:04 jeff SELECT COUNT(*) FROM config.barcode_completion WHERE active = TRUE;
13:20 Keith-isl joined #evergreen
13:24 csharp jeff: no, I guess we don't
13:24 csharp jeffdavis++ # thanks, I'll take a look

14:21 jeff barcode completion lookups firing every time even though the system has no rules defined always annoyed me. if there isn't a bug for that yet, I'll make one.
14:22 jeff and in general i'm wondering if there's a better way to approach things like that, avoiding extra client->server round trips... though they're not nearly as bad as they were in XUL.
14:23 jeff booking had some related issues in that regard, I think. now that we're turning up barcode completion for some locations and likely to start doing some booking, I can't disable and ignore them completely. :-)

15:39 Guest12115 Hi. I am a teacher up in Wisconsin. Can you tell me a bit about the Evergreen Library?

16:24 rhamby Guest12115 Do you mean the integrated library system software?  This channel is for the software not a specific library.
16:25 rhamby Evergreen is an ILS that is open source, free to download and use and runs on Linux servers.  There are also some companies that provide hosting and support.
16:25 rhamby let's see.... wiki link incoming

17:09 Bmagic is it ok (on a test machine) to truncate metabib.title_field_entry? Then run reingest? Like, it's not going to blow up Evergreen or anything? It would just cause title searches to result nothing?
17:13 gmcharlt Bmagic: you should probably also truncate metabib.combined_title_field_entry, but what you propose to do should not be full of explodium
17:14 Bmagic gmcharlt++

17:40 miker csharp/jeff: re actor calls, as a data point I have an 11am log here for a large system with 10k barcode calls and 35k settings calls. and another one with 7k/21k. the settings could be cached with a short expiry, and we could skip get_barcodes if we can prove there are no completion rules, I guess. but those shouldn't be driving open-ils.actor into the ground at that scale...
17:50 jeff yeah, I was making no claim other than I found the get_barcodes calls annoying. :-)
17:50 jeff miker++
17:51 jeff I'm not sure what csharp's other symptoms are with regard to drones getting "swamped".
