09:36 Dyrcona I find it amusing when a library staff links to the marc_export documentation on one of our tickets.

10:05 ahazaril Hi all! Can someone guide me on how to enable email notification in Evergreen ILS? I can't find the manual regarding the email configuration. Thanks.
10:16 Dyrcona ahazaril: Email configuration on the server is a bit beyond the scope of Evergreen documentation. You need to pick a mail transfer agent software (MTA) and configure that according to the directions for your LInux distribution and local circumstances.
10:19 ahazaril i see, tq so much! I try to learned more deeper regarding the email configuration on server
10:19 Dyrcona I can make a few recommendations. 1. If you have more than one server, pick one to run the utility scripts. 2. Configure email on that server. 3. Configure the notification cron jobs to run on that server.

10:21 ahazaril noted on that! lots of things need to learn from you guys!
10:22 Dyrcona ahazaril: Postfix is a popular MTA, and I think it is relatively simple to set up. I prefer on that is a bit more complicated called Exim. If you search for how to set those up with your distribution, then you should find some good howtos. Assuming you are using Debian or Ubuntu, the Debian instructions for either software should work.
10:23 Dyrcona If you have any questions about terminology or get stuck on something, I can probably help. I've been working with email servers for over 20 years.
10:24 ahazaril the postfix i learn before this, but forgot already. need to learn back
10:24 ahazaril sure Dyrcona! tq so much!!

10:33 Dyrcona Y'know. I just had a hunch about what may be breaking searching on my two virtual machines, and if it turns out to be trued, then that's not good.
10:41 BrianK joined #evergreen
10:49 Dyrcona Before I test it, I'm going to try a clean installation of what I've got.
10:51 sleary joined #evergreen
10:59 Christineb joined #evergreen
11:21 Dyrcona Nope. My hunch appears to be wrong, so that's actually good. It means a mainline patch is not causing the problem.
12:06 jihpringle joined #evergreen
12:09 Dyrcona So, I don't think the problem is my templates because when I look at the source, the structure is there but the content is missing.
12:11 Dyrcona Display field, innit?
12:12 Dyrcona A pingest run should have fixed that, no?
12:24 Dyrcona joined #evergreen
12:24 Dyrcona Guess I can forget about that for a while. Der VPN ist kaput.
12:31 Dyrcona I did this comparison before, and there are no differences in these templates and those that work in another place, so the database must be the problem.

13:01 jeffdavis Is there a way to see the generated SQL for a report? I feel like there's something and I'm just not recalling it
13:19 mmorgan jeffdavis: The generated SQL can be viewed in the client. Looks like it's stored in a file. Here's what a url in the client looks like: <host>/reporter/3669/38417/1091​91/report-data.html.debug.html
13:20 jeffdavis aha! thank you!
13:20 jeffdavis mmorgan++
13:22 Dyrcona Yeah, it's definitely something with the database. The search result rows are "blank" with a set of stock templates, too. Oddly enough, I have a DB upgrade to a recent main branch and that one works. I think I'll try the ingest SQL from that db upgrade.
13:26 jeffdavis Dyrcona: are you using a fresh database with concerto data, or is this a snapshot of an existing one? sometimes I have to vaccum a restored db before it gives search results
13:32 Dyrcona jeffdavis: It's a restored database.
13:32 Dyrcona Also, the ingest I was thinking of happens in the 3.10 upgrade and not master. I'll give it a vaccuum full analyze.

13:59 Dyrcona thumbs-- # Inadvertent trackpad clicks can be frustrating.
13:59 Dyrcona thumbs++ # Without them, we wouldn't be what we are. :)
14:13 jeffdavis it's ok to be anti-thumb, they're opposable
14:24 Dyrcona jeffdavis++
14:25 Dyrcona jeffdavis: Do you a full vaccuum or just an analyze, or something else?
14:25 Dyrcona There's a "do" missing there.
14:27 jeffdavis just a vacuum analyze on a few dozen tables - metabib, asset, circ/hold, and money stuff
14:28 Dyrcona Thanks! I have a vacuum full analyze going on one database, now, but I'll try just an analyze on the other.
14:28 Dyrcona I think I'll add to my monthly reload process right after the pg_restore.
14:30 Dyrcona Time to play some Eurytmics: Here comes the rain again.
14:31 Dyrcona I also have a little SQL script to "copy" a database with 'create database' using the source as a template. I think I'll add an analyze on the end of that one, too.

15:16 * Dyrcona cringes at typos in his own commit messages. In a private repo, but still.... I should spell check more often.
15:16 Dyrcona That vacuum full is still going.
15:33 * Dyrcona switches networks yet again.
