10:31 JBoyer berick, is that active data or bloat? Seems high.
10:31 eeevil berick: if that is staying big, you've got something funky going on. with queued ingest, that should be cleared out at the end of each queue run, and withOUT queued ingest, that should be emptied at the commit of each transaction
10:33 berick hm, k, it's possible i missed something in an upgrade.  on 3.9, btw
10:37 berick just cancled a COUNT(*) after it churned for a while.
10:37 csharp_ not seeing unduly large data for that on our 3.10 system fwiw
10:37 * berick nods
10:56 berick looks like i missed an update for metabib.reingest_metabib_field_entries
10:56 berick to call the reify stuff
10:57 eeevil that will, in fact, do it, sir. :)
10:58 berick cool, thanks eeevil
11:00 csharp_ I would like to thank eeevil for all the good he does in the world
11:01 berick heh
11:02 briank joined #evergreen
11:07 eeevil berick: jfyi, the purpose of that updates table (which, IIRC, is unlogged, so check that yours is!) is essentially the allow the normal case of "meh, nothing really changed in the dictionary" to be spotted and handled very quickly. it cuts the common-case performance impact down to very nearly 0, since the reification ends up reading, usually, a single DB page of data that's already in the OS cache, and then (after confirming that there's no
11:07 eeevil effective change to words or word counts) clearing it out and not touching the dictionary itself
11:08 berick i did see it's unlogged
11:08 eeevil s/the allow/to allow/ ... coffee incoming
11:20 kmlussier @coffee eeevil
11:20 * pinesol brews and pours a cup of Honey Pot Espresso, and sends it sliding down the bar to eeevil
11:21 eeevil kmlussier: thanks muchly!
11:21 kmlussier eeevil: Anytime! I'm always happy to send fake coffee to people.

13:22 mantis1 weird behavior I noticed
13:22 mantis1 for one item, there is a list of patrons under 'View Holds' in the Angular catalog
13:23 mantis1 but for some reason some patrons aren't listed on there however on their accounts they do have holds placed for that item
13:23 mantis1 I'm wondering if that's related to the item cataloged as an acquisitions item before changed over to the regular collection
13:31 jihpringle mantis1: we saw that in 3.9 with a record that had 300+ holds
13:31 mantis1 jihpringle: I'm wondering if it's because our barcodes for acq items end up being different than those replaced with real barcodes later on
13:33 jihpringle I don't think would be the case for us, because of our reciprocal borrowing libraries are never supposed to place item level holds so all of our holds should have been title levels which should be unaffected by barcode changes
13:36 jihpringle the only common thing we could find with the holds that weren't showing was that it was the older holds
13:52 jonadab Item-level holds have a number of gotchas, yeah.  The capability is useful for a variety of technical reasons, but it almost ought to be locked behind a "Yes I want this specific copy" confirmation or something.
14:26 mmorgan mantis1: By "item" do you actually mean item hold? That is hold_type = C? We have seen visibility oddities with metarecord holds (hold_type = M).
14:26 mantis1 mmorgan: yes
14:26 mantis1 I did try replicating the issue on a test server but it does work as 'intended'
14:26 mantis1 I let them know just to do bib level for now
14:26 mantis1 just baffled by what could cause this specifically
14:35 jeff if you look at the hold in question, assuming it is hold_type = 'C', does the hold's target point to a valid, non-deleted copy in asset.copy? Does the hold have an entry in reporter.hold_request_record?
14:42 mantis1 jeff: ah good question I will check
14:45 mantis1 jeff; yes to all
14:46 mantis1 same target and all
14:48 BAMkubasa joined #evergreen
14:49 BAMkubasa without custom configuration, Evergreen can't expose patron stat cats via SIP, right? That's not part of the protocol or the way Evergreen implmeents it
14:54 jeff BAMkubasa: I'm fairly certain you can enable that for specific stat cats, as an extension of sorts of the SIP protocol.
14:54 BAMkubasa In the interface I see "SIP Field" and "SIP Format" but the "SIP Field" dropdown just has "No SIP Export"
14:55 jeff BAMkubasa: it usually comes up in the context of using SIP for patron authentication, which I have strong personal feelings against, and think you should almost never do. ;-)
14:55 BAMkubasa go oooonnnn
14:55 BAMkubasa (I'm curious to know your thoughts)
15:00 jeff that said, changing away from SIP once you've started to use it for that can be a large undertaking.
15:00 jeff it may be that you need to manually create entries in actor.stat_cat_sip_fields, I'm not sure.
15:00 mantis1 left #evergreen
15:01 jeff ah, no. it's just that you need to define them under Server Administration before you can use them in Local Administration.
15:01 jeff Actor Stat Cat Sip Fields
15:04 jeff as for my thoughts on using SIP for patron auth with third parties, that may need to wait for another time. :-)
15:08 BAMkubasa Thanks jeff
