09:43 rfrasur something that's called .id is usually a number, isn't it? while w/o the .id....it's a text string? that's just the understanding I've had when building reports (that work 50% of the time)
09:43 paxed http://i.imgur.com/6jPQg1l.jpg
09:43 paxed i think ctx.user.home_ou is a fieldmapper object, so it shouldn't work
09:44 * paxed compiles eg and tests
09:44 rfrasur just so you know...I prefer earth to the other views.  much prettier....and watered
09:44 paxed yup
09:46 paxed (the Venus picture was taken in '67!)
09:47 rfrasur We've already got the steam.  Now we just need a mouthy young adult...and we'll have the punk.
09:48 rfrasur jboyer-isl: are you available?
09:49 jboyer-isl I'm in and out. In now.
09:51 rfrasur I did a little testing on the galaxy tab 7 last night.  it worked well, looked good, etc.  the only thing I was noticed was when I changed orientation it switches to traditional OPAC view (which was expected), but because it's narrower, the facets and results don't fit...and the facets show first.  Is there a way to have an intermediate view that gets those facets out of the way?
09:52 jboyer-isl There is. I'll have to look some things up, but there can easily be an intermediate step between everything and bare bones.
09:54 rfrasur excellent.  Other than that...and I also was thinking about the search view.  I'm not sure that's a big deal after all.  Does it show results based on relevance as default? (I don't really know how to spell relevance/relevence)
09:54 rfrasur but...other than that...I think it's good.  I mean, there's always something to critique/criticize, but it seems like a great step.
11:14 kayals By default admin account did not get associated to the top org level unit. How to assign admin to get top level permission...say Global Administrator
11:14 kayals thanks
11:23 rjackson-isl bshum++ for knowledge sharing
11:23 bshum rjackson-isl: Please feel free to add notes or findings to that bug report.
11:24 bshum I'll try to do the same once the dust settles more over here :(
11:27 bshum kmlussier: "Now witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational battle station." (replace battle station with test server)
11:29 kmlussier1 joined #evergreen
11:31 kmlussier Heh
11:31 rfrasur kmlussier++ # that sounds like a huge task
11:37 bshum And then let the hold targeter spread things back out more evenly again.
11:38 bshum Like I set all active holds to a prev check time of midnight or something back then.
11:38 bshum I've been thinking to push them back towards 9 or 10 pm at the rate I'm going.
11:55 jboyer-isl We secretly replaced kmlussier's test server with Folgers crystals. Let's see if she notices.
11:55 rfrasur jboyer-isl++
11:56 jboyer-isl dbs: agreed. I was also trying to take a light touch with the html in 2.2. I'll still try to leave as much alone in the future as I can thouhgh, or I'm likely to try to redesign the whole thing. :D
11:56 * kmlussier probably wouldn't notice, but tsbere might. :)

10:15 jeff_ we're on 2.2, so we don't even have copy location groups, so we just emulated groups in the template --     <option value='527,531,530,532,791,795,529​,793,528,794,792,571,516,593,771,7​70,542,589,549'>Juvenile</option>
10:15 Dyrcona jeff_: Take a look at OpenILS::Utils::Normalize::clean_marc in master. It will have some tricks you might to use.
10:16 jeff_ it is likely less performant than copy location groups, but I've not tested
10:16 jeff_ Dyrcona: thanks!
10:16 csharp jeff_: thanks for those details ;-)
10:22 * rfrasur sees an email with the subject "mobile OPAC testing" from jboyer-isl - looks very interesting
10:23 gmcharlt testing the OPAC from the bookmobile?
10:23 rfrasur jboyer-isl: I have story time at 10:30 but will test on a variety of screens after I get done with that.  Probably around 11:30.
10:23 gmcharlt ;)
10:23 rfrasur gmcharlt++ # maybe
10:24 rfrasur as an unrelated aside - when your mother and brother endorse you on Linkdin, it kind of takes some of the professionalism and credibility away.
11:19 bshum parts--
11:20 bshum kmlussier: Our pain begins early this week.
11:20 Dyrcona To elebenty and beyond!
11:21 Dyrcona kmlussier: My development VM is working if you're interested in testing things.

11:38 bshum senator: Dyrcona: To verify, the branch I should look at for the browse stuff is collab/dyrcona/bib-auth-browse-squash, right?
11:38 senator bshum: right
11:38 bshum (We're rebasing our test servers today and I'm going to add it again to the mix)
11:38 bshum Cool deal.
11:39 bshum And also, holy cow that's alot o' commits
11:39 Dyrcona bshum: There's a small conflict with master at the moment, just keep both parts.
11:39 bshum :D
11:39 senator bshum: i think when all parties are reasonably happy with it, it can be squashed way down
11:56 senator asimon: that should show up in the staff client. if not, there's either a permissions issue or some deeper problem.
11:56 bshum That should be in the library settings editor.
11:56 bshum Or at least, it was when we configured it.
11:57 dbs asimon: maybe your site missed an upgrade ?
11:57 dbs looks like it's in 1.6.1-2.0-upgrade-db.sql
12:03 dbs Hey, here's a brilliant idea for a simple perl test... ensure that DEBUG_TIMING == 0. heh :)

12:07 paxed blah. html.
12:09 dbs paxed: no; good catch. gotta prevent those cataloguers from exploiting vulnerabilities :)
12:09 paxed dbs: well, who knows, maybe some author will name their book <a href="goatse"> ... :P
12:15 dbs paxed: pushed a nice sanitized branch with a hat-tip to you in the commit message
12:15 rfrasur jboyer-isl: testing on galaxy nexus phone...then kindle fire.  will try galaxy tab 7 at home later.
12:16 rfrasur (of course, it'd help if I could remember my password)
12:17 jboyer-isl Thanks. I was able to do a little testing with someone's random android somethingorother and it looked ok, so I'm hoping things will be good all around.
12:17 rfrasur so far, it looks good.  will take a look in my account and then do a couple searches and do some stuff.
12:17 dbs jboyer-isl: any of your work headed 2.5 / master's way?
12:19 rfrasur (figure it's a good chance to see how easy it is to do a password reset from my phone)
12:19 jboyer-isl Everything that I re-make for 2.4, sure. I haven't actually started that though. D: Need to study up on user/collab branches, because I'm also starting from 0 on that.
12:20 jboyer-isl rfraur: and you would also be testing a page I forgot to ever even look at. Hope it looks ok, heh.
12:20 jboyer-isl And I can't type. :/
12:20 rfrasur jboyer-isl: the reset page?  it looked fine :)
12:20 jboyer-isl Lucky us.
12:22 jboyer-isl Also, I don't know if all of the necessary back end stuff is running for that to actually work. If you need me to change the password on an account let me know. (The dataload is several months old, in case you've changed it recently.)
12:27 rfrasur also, are we foregoing a limited advanced search forever or just for now?
12:28 jboyer-isl I just meant that the email will never come, and the actual reset may not work if it did. Are you using the same hostname on the desktop vs. mobile? (and NOT letting the keyboard "help" you by auto-capitalizing the first letter of your username? They're ALSO case sensitive...)
12:29 jboyer-isl I'm personally planning to forego advanced search forever. I'm working off the assumption that it's a hassle to enter things into a bunch of fields. I won't argue with anyone else that wants to take care of it.
12:30 rfrasur no, I'm using the standing catalog on the desktop (to make sure that I wasn't messing up the log-in).  let me try the mobile on the desktop and see what it does there.  I'm okay with just the basic search for the same reason you mentioned.
12:31 mmorgan left #evergreen
12:31 rfrasur yeah, it's not helping me on the desktop (as you say), and I can't log in on the test site.
12:32 rfrasur hmm...s/standing/standard
12:37 rfrasur I do like the library chooser
12:38 kmlussier Dyrcona: Searches on your dev server are quite zippy today. :)
12:38 Dyrcona kmlussier: It's the new database server. We got one almost identical to what we use in production.
12:39 Dyrcona Which reminds me of an email I have to answer after lunch.
12:39 kmlussier Dyrcona++
12:40 rfrasur jboyer-isl: search works well as far as I've delved into it.
12:40 bshum dbwells++ #milestone wrangling
12:41 rfrasur and records show up nice.  can't test the hold placing because of the authentication issue.  let me try something with that real quick (sorta quick).
12:43 rfrasur yeah - no.  won't authenticate.

12:52 bshum Blah, 0795 fails because we apparently don't have a metabib_field entry 30 for LCCN.
13:37 paxed do people remove the bug assignment once they've released a fix for it?
13:39 jboyer-isl I'm more interested in how Chrome likes it than "Browser," but I was able to log in with someone else's phone using Browser.
13:39 sidion left #evergreen
13:39 rfrasur I'm testing Chrome right now.  Browser didn't work on phone...and neither did Firefox on desktop.  Maybe I need to clear out the cache and start over.
13:41 bshum kmlussier: I'll be here and there.  But yeah, in a phone call during the meeting, so I might be a little more distant than I'd like :(
13:41 rfrasur jboyer-isl:fail on phone using chrome
13:41 kmlussier bshum: A little difficult to run a meeting that way. :)

14:09 jboyer-isl It's possible they're all disabled in case a patron tried to play with it., I've not looked at it.
14:09 jboyer-isl disabled because it's the migration server, that is.
14:10 rfrasur ahhh, I gotcha.  You're probably right.  Are you testing it with a staff profile account I'm assuming?
14:10 jboyer-isl yes.

15:56 linuxpoet Dyrcona: it is not reasonable to suggest that kind of switch at this time. It isn't like it is something that can be done overnight for this installation
15:56 paxed phasefx: no. we're not in production yet.
15:57 phasefx paxed: roger that
15:57 paxed phasefx: but i do tend to test most of my fixes with our full conversion db
15:57 Dyrcona linuxpoet: You will have fewer problems or none at all if you switch, and you'll get actual useful help.
15:58 Dyrcona Anyway, at that point GNU Make is passing the error up from an executable that it has run. The first [3] suggests it is in the 3 recursive make call, so 3 three Makefiles down.
16:00 bshum linuxpoet: Actually it seems perfectly reasonable to me for Dyrcona to suggest using one of the established known linux distributions that are currently supported by the community documentation for OpenSRF.
17:06 * Dyrcona recently cleaned his hates up. ;)

17:28 jeff_ yeah. i'm not even lucky enough to get it in PickupLocation, but it's in ItemShipped/ShippingInformation/Ph​ysicalAddress/UnstructuredAddress
17:29 Dyrcona Gotta love standards that aren't.
17:29 jeff_ There are codes in the system for individual branches, but the codes don't seem to be used here, so it's unstructured freeform-looking text.
17:29 jeff_ This is because I got impatient and jumped ahead and found a way to test without our contact at the state level, so I could be shown a better way on Monday, but it is seeming unlikely.
17:30 Dyrcona Y'know, it is valid to respond with just the version response if you don't "understand" a message you've received.
17:30 jeff_ It is incredibly likely that we will not expose our end users to the statewide web interface, and will just scrape it on their behalf. :P
17:31 * Dyrcona shudders at the mention of scraping.

12:22 rfrasur my thinking was...present this to comp sci professors/departments as an educational tool.  So, these kids may not actually be involved in the EG community (yet...or ever) or contributing/building anything of value (right now...or ever)
12:23 rfrasur but, it's free software that requires all the basics that get covered in a comp. eng./sci. program...and if the net was thrown over a broad enough area, there could protentially be some quality return.

12:55 rfrasur why wouldn't Google+ integrate bookmarks into a person's profile?
12:56 dbs rfrasur: possibly because it would require browser integration, and not everyone uses Chrome?
12:56 * rfrasur uses Firefox as default.
14:13 rfrasur I like the idea of the Google Hangout.  It may be difficult for those further abroad to handle two trips out east (in our case).
14:14 kmlussier Sure, I don't think I could travel out of state to a doc hack-a-way this year, but would be happy to join via a Hangout if it is hosted in another area.
14:15 yboston BTW, with my intern I used Dropbox to share the files she was converting to AsciiDoc, which we can use in combination with Google hang out
14:15 dbs I highly recommend getting people who plan to join via Google Hangout to go through a test run a few days before, just to ensure everyone's equipment is all good :)
14:15 yboston dbs: thanks
14:15 rfrasur dbs: very good point
14:16 yboston we can try it during a DIG meeting
16:51 dbs we also added some custom code to support users logging in with their LDAP username, even though their actor.usr.usrname was their email address, because of the likelihood of dscott@laurentian.ca clashing with dscott@uwindsor.ca when it came to LDAP uids
16:51 dbs but that's only a consortial concern where more than one LDAP (or CAS in the case of Windsor) system is in play
16:52 dbs LDAP CNs, I should use the appropriate terminology :)
16:55 dbwells berick: are you actively testing it now?  I have a bug fix branch I made a while back for a specific request here in IRC, but never heard back whether it helped them or not.  I am going to try and figure out what happened to that.
16:55 berick dbwells: not this second, but will be doign some poking soon-ish
16:56 berick i'd be glad to review the code.  not sure if I know enough to be of assistance just yet, though.

11:13 rfrasur ty phasefx. hunting around still.
11:15 phasefx rfrasur: automatic reloads may be trickier than you might think, if you expect all of your workstations to instantly get changes like that.  At the time, the mindset was that a lot of these changes were supposed to be treated as big deals and not on the fly tinkering.  I'd like instant updates, though
11:15 rfrasur and it's in the patron registration, but not in the patron acct editor...registration and offline registration.
11:16 rfrasur phasefx: yeah, I understand...and I tend to do a lot more on-the-fly things anyway.  the whole break it and ask questions later.
11:26 acoomes joined #evergreen
11:26 phasefx was a developer itch, but I don't think it was something PINES was pushing for, so it didn't land in jspac
11:27 rfrasur personally, I don't have any desire to do a survey through the OPAC.  I think it'd cheese some people off and confuse some others.  But, if that's the case, and maybe it's already addressed in later versions, that needs to be removed from the UI
11:28 Dyrcona gmcharlt: If you have a test version of MARC::Charset that you'd like me to try, just let me know.
11:28 gmcharlt Dyrcona: soon

15:05 jeff_ kmlussier: what does hold ratio decide for you?
15:06 jeff_ kmlussier: are you using it to permit/deny renewals, or something else?
15:07 kmlussier jeff_: We aren't using it yet because of bug 1103706. What we want to use it for is to prevent renewals when there are holds on the title and no available copies to fill that hold.
15:12 gsams__ The worst part is I am having trouble duplicating the behavior
15:12 gsams__ but I have seen it happen
15:13 jeff_ you can't reproduce it with an item checked out, placing a copy-level hold on the item, then attempting renewal?
15:14 gsams__ I haven't been able to so far, its really quite odd.  I've been trying to track down the items that this has happened on
15:14 gsams__ I just got a small list of items that this has happened and am about to run tests with those
15:14 jeff_ gsams__: i suspect it may vary depending on if there are any other holds.
15:15 gsams__ jeff_: and I can't verify if the holds were the only ones on those items/titles
15:16 jeff_ my initial thought was that the copy check was done solely on action.hold_copy_map and that copy holds might not use ahcm -- but at least in 2.2, I've confirmed that copy level holds do indeed use ahcm.

09:43 csharp so when I run the modular version for ubuntu-precise (see http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=working​/Evergreen.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/​user/csharp/ubuntu-per-distro-makefile ) and cpan installation craps out on SOAP::Lite (IIRC)

09:45 csharp Ubuntu 10.04 worked fine in my test
09:51 berick csharp: odd, maybe the debs are installing a version of something some other cpan module doesn't like.
09:51 berick that when done in reverse, cpan never has a chance to complain

08:25 csharp okay - I'm back to troubleshooting my circ rule issue - the problem is that we have a rule based on a circ modifier called 'dvd' assigned to dvd items.  When I use the find_circ_matrix_matchpoint test on an item, patron, and location on our production server, the correct rule matches.  When I do the same test on our test server, it picks a different rule.
08:25 csharp The only thing I've changed is linking a circulation limit set
08:26 csharp the rule it selects on our test server is based on the item's marc type

09:39 bshum Just the first thing that jumped out to me looking at rule 159
09:39 remingtron joined #evergreen
09:39 bshum Hopefully 7404
09:39 csharp we don't use copy locations in our rules since copy locations are managed at the library level
09:40 csharp that would multiply our number of rules exponentially
09:40 bshum But 7404 is in the column for "copy_location" in the paste.
10:03 bshum Just thinking aloud, but it seems bad to allow copy location to be set for a specific library if they're also creating consortium level rules (or rules in general that affect greater than just them).
10:03 csharp Indiana's still using script-based circ too, I think
10:04 * csharp agrees
10:04 bshum Since we don't let end users create policy, I don't think we've ever tested restricting the level of rules they can create.
10:04 rfrasur csharp: yes...I think we are (because it breaks from time to time)
10:04 bshum Or if that's possibly restricted by permission.
10:12 rfrasur So, explain to me while I'm editing a million call #s - why not to use the "circ as type" attribute?
10:17 rfrasur hmm, our circ policies are based on circ modifiers
10:17 rfrasur meh
10:17 jeff_ But those incorrect bibs should still be fixed -- because the copy-level override for circulate as type will do nothing to fix the other issues caused by the incorrect MARC data -- mostly with searching and display in the catalog.
10:17 dbs paxed's fixes in bug 1195334 looks like it's probably golden, but because we lack any sort of UI test automation to reproduce the problems before the patch and show that it's fixed after the patch, I'm reluctant to wade into applying & testing it myself

13:39 DPearl Event/trigger question.  I have created a clone of the hold available email event (consortium-level) for a library that wants to include a special message in the email. When testing, the first try got the library's handler; the second try got the consortium handler. I can see why this might have happened, but it seems to me to be incorrect behavior (going up a level). Or is this desirable?
13:42 bshum DPearl: So, in practice, you cannot have both a consortium level hold available and also a library specific one.
13:42 bshum Because the event will fire off both.

17:08 Dyrcona gmcharlt: I didn't because I was able to get mostly what I needed from yaz-marcdump, plus I've been having fun with other things today.
17:08 Dyrcona gmcharlt: I think this file is a mix of records in latin 1 and marc 8.
17:08 gmcharlt I'd appreciate having it if you get a spare moment

17:20 bshum dbs: Seems to me that tsvector_concat is something we can safely drop away if it's no longer in the code base.  Like so many other functions that get stuck lying around.
17:21 hopkinsju gmcharlt: *dum dum duuuuum* "$user",public
17:21 gmcharlt hopkinsju: k, thought so -- when your test DB finishes resyncing, I suggest running the following before trying the (unmodified) upgrade script:
17:21 gmcharlt ALTER DATABASE evergreen SET search_path TO evergreen, public, pg_catalog;
17:22 bshum gmcharlt++
17:22 hopkinsju gmcharlt: Thank you, I will try that.
17:22 hopkinsju Gonna have to let this go and check back later though. Gotta get my daughter to karate.
20:26 rfrasur so they (whoever they are) may not understand what all that means, but can get a broad idea and have a little higher comfort level in talking w/ people re: more technical stuff.
20:26 * rfrasur saw that with the feed as well.
20:26 rfrasur I was all excited that 2015 was going to be in Grand Rapids...until it was 2009 or 10
20:26 bshum Heh
20:28 bshum rfrasur, I'm going to be modifying the wordpress prototype for a moment.  Want to test out something with a different theme.
20:28 rfrasur I am legitimately excited about the direction the website is going, btw.  I think it'll be much more accessible.
20:28 rfrasur (and not in an ADA sort of way, but maybe that, too)
20:28 rfrasur okie

08:59 Dyrcona csharp: We think we're successfully limiting with limit sets.
08:59 ericar joined #evergreen
09:02 csharp Dyrcona: thanks - looks like my first problem is that the circ policy I'm expecting to be chosen isn't being chose
09:02 csharp n
09:03 csharp so now I'm playing with weights, which is pretty complex
09:04 * csharp is *so* glad we have find_circ_matrix_matchpoint() to test with
09:04 tsbere csharp: Between poking at our mail server I can probably answer questions about some of that for ya
09:05 tsbere csharp: For note, easy way to limit by circ mod: Create a circ matrix line that matches the circ modifier and as little else as possible with no circulate flag or rules. Attach limits to *that* rule with fallthrough flag checked.
09:08 csharp tsbere: thanks for that tip
09:41 tsbere Then I would assume I was wrong. ;)

09:44 paxed haha. testing some improvements for bug 1156545 - i guess a bill for $1234567.80 is a bit too much: ERROR:  numeric field overflow
09:44 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1156545 in Evergreen "Currency symbol and format should not be in po-file translatable texts" (affected: 1, heat: 6) [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1156545
09:46 senator we have lots of fields defined as numeric(6,2), although depending on the currency that could be too limiting i suppose
09:46 paxed it's unlikely the patron bill would hit that much.

14:16 jeffdavis so, regarding bug 1187433 ...
14:16 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1187433 in Evergreen "apostrophe search issues in 2.4" (affected: 3, heat: 20) [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1187433
14:16 jeffdavis We're doing a 2.2->2.4 upgrade, so my understanding is I just need to integrate this commit into our db upgrade stuff: http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=workin​g/Evergreen.git;a=commitdiff;h=1b64d6e
14:17 jeffdavis Assuming that's correct, I can try it out in a test environment tomorrow.

15:06 jeffdavis It looked to me like the necessary changes from the other commits are in the upgrade script, but it's a long ticket and I get a little paranoid before major version upgrades. ;)
15:08 jeffdavis s/ticket/bug/
15:09 bshum It's healthy to be mindful of potential pitfalls.
15:24 jrshaw Oh the fun. Back to the 2.4 client Install... Went to lunch. The system hibernated. Powered up. corrupted system image. discarded the hiber-image and did a clean reboot. Full functionality has been restored. I can repeatedly start the Client and it works. Now to find a working 2.4 test server that works...
15:25 jrshaw demo.ils.edoceo.com produces a "There was an error testing the hostname." error
15:26 csharp jrshaw: so are your complaints purely about getting the client up and running, or are you installing a server too?
15:28 jrshaw I'm taking this one step at a time. I've decided to work on Clint configuration since that would be a simpler and shorter process. just need to know how to interface the client to the test server.
15:28 kmlussier jrshaw: demo.ils.edoceo.com is working for me. You may need to add a SSL Exception for the server.
15:29 kmlussier Or, I should say, it would work if I had the right staff client version.
15:30 jrshaw So you bumped into that problem (wrong client version) too...

11:58 rfrasur they cancelled the hold to transet the material to another library?
11:58 rfrasur s/transet/transit
11:58 phasefx with those timestamps you might be able to search actual log files and find something
11:59 paxed hm. what would be the best way to edit config.xml_transform to test something? can i invoke $EDITOR in psql and edit field content?
12:00 AaronZ-PLS rfrasur: They canceled the holds, then checked them in which probbaly targeted the items for holds elswhere. Not sure what the intent was.
12:01 AaronZ-PLS phasefx: We could, but AFAIK they dont have assigned terminals and it was almost a week ago, so its probbaly not worth it.

10:33 mmorgan1 seems like it's possible for a barcode scanner to feed in digits faster than they can register in evergreen
10:34 rfrasur hmm, I haven't seen that but I'm not with the scanners much anymore either.
10:36 mmorgan1 rfrasur: btw, regarding the upc, you may be able to program your barcode scanners not to recognize these, as long as your book barcodes aren't the same kind
10:37 csharp mmorgan1: a simple test might be to scan the same barcodes into a text editor and see if the errors persist
10:38 csharp in our experience, those kinds of mis-scans are the fault of the scanner itself FWIW
10:38 csharp (or *ahem*, staff)
10:38 rfrasur mmorgan1: you're right, we probably could.  but, I'm the IT department (it's sorely lacking) and the everything else, and decided it was easier to move the barcodes away from the UPC (they're never on the back anymore) and explicitly teach the full staff re: barcodes in general.  The obnoxious of the tutorial and the prospect of getting it again was a deterrent.
10:40 csharp and "strict barcode" doesn't stop the creation of invalid barcodes - it just checks for them when scanning

13:05 b_bonner Hi all. Our staff is starting to test the OCLC number scheme change that is starting next month, and noticed something quite odd.  If an 001 OCLC number is the new style with "on" followed by 10 digits (on3987654321), it is NOT searchable in the opac (keyword or identifier).  However, it IS searchable if it is
13:05 b_bonner on" followed by 11 or 12 digits (on39876543211). Can someone help reproduce this and see if it's not just us?
13:05 b_bonner I've been able to change the oclc number on the same record back and forth between and can confirm this scenario on our system
13:07 b_bonner TCNs 1283817 (10 digit) and 1283816 (11 digit) on catalog.kcls.org if you want our examples
13:15 dbs b_bonner: looks like it should be indexed and retrievable via identifier|scn ...
13:18 dbs b_bonner: but right now catalog.kcls.org only seems to be returning 500 server errors :/
13:19 dbs in theory, if it was running, http://catalog.kcls.org/eg/o​pac/results?query=identifier|scn:3987654321 would give you what you're looking for
13:29 kmlussier joined #evergreen
13:30 b_bonner it is strange that identifier search on 001 works on other length entries, just not on+10
13:30 dbs b_bonner: it seems likely that you have something set up locally to do special things that don't match the Evergreen out-of-the-box experience. Hard to help with that :/
13:32 b_bonner dbs: hmm, thanks. will keep digging.  Can you do me a favor and try changing an 001 on your test system to "on54987654321" and see if it can find it via keyword or identifier search?
13:35 b_bonner dbs: and if not, does 11 digit?  (on39876543211)
13:40 csharp b_bonner: you might also poke around in the metabib tables to see if entries for each of those records are present
13:40 dbs http://laurentian-test.concat.ca/​eg/opac/results?query=identifier|scn:on54987654321 works
13:41 dbs ... but it's not getting (OCoLC)54987654321 as a 035$a like I would have expected.
13:41 dbs possibly because we have an institutional ID set? hrm.
13:42 b_bonner csharp: first thing I did.  every thing looks identical between them in metabib.identifier_field_entry between them when 10 or 11 digits, just search failing on 10
13:42 csharp hmm
13:44 b_bonner dbs csharp: query captured: http://pastebin.com/VpAteZRd
13:44 dbs http://laurentian-test.concat.ca/​eg/opac/results?query=identifier|scn:on39876543211 also works
13:45 dbs but really, the "on" should be stripped off
13:45 b_bonner dbs: any results without the scn?
13:45 dbs http://laurentian-test.concat.ca/eg/opac​/results?query=identifier:on39876543211 works fine too
13:45 b_bonner we have an identifer set up (accession) on the 001 tag
13:46 dbs Yeah, that's an out of the box thing
13:46 b_bonner and without scn on the 10 digit?
13:46 dbs http://laurentian-test.concat.ca/eg/opac​/results?query=identifier:on54987654321 works too
13:47 dbs Note that our system is set up to replace the 001 with the bib ID each time, so the results will show 001 739015
13:47 dbs But you can see the 035 $a that were added.
13:48 b_bonner dbs: yeah, that changes the scenario quite a bit
13:48 * dbs tries an ocn prefix, that works too.
13:48 dbs b_bonner: why?
14:31 jeffdavis dbs: we don't have the 8 latest commits in rel_2_4 yet
14:32 jeffdavis i'll try to integrate them after hours today
14:32 dbs lemme tell you, it's nice to be down to 4,000 WARN messages today
14:36 jeffdavis yeah, i'd like that fix - our test server osrfsys.log has 60K WARN messages from the past 36 hours
14:36 jeffdavis or I guess those multiple fixes
14:37 * jeffdavis adds rebase to todo list, says goodbye to any remaining time off this weekend ;)
14:37 dbs https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1192710 was a pretty good one too

14:37 dbs not yet signed off or committed
15:19 csharp dbs: holy moly
15:19 bshum Maybe there's something wonky there that's taking too long to process out.
15:19 dbs kmlussier: it would be fun to be able to poke at your system to see the SQL that's getting generated and to enable the timelog for that part slowness
15:19 bshum Blah
15:20 bshum But of course, my only test server is running the custom new code for patron UI.
15:20 bshum So that throws a kink in my testing :(
15:20 csharp hrmm - I just got the message too
15:20 bshum timelog++
15:20 csharp lemme try the original title reported as an example
15:20 kmlussier1 csharp, bshum: I get the confirmation message on 2.3
15:20 bshum So then it's just csharp :(
15:21 bshum Maybe it's some weird local customization run amok?
15:22 bshum kmlussier1: You tested it via the staff client right?  On behalf of a patron?  I think that's where we're looking.
15:22 csharp hmm - the original example (with 250+ copies attached) *doesn't* show the message
15:22 kmlussier1 Yes, I followed the steps in the bug report.
15:23 csharp so maybe the holdings are a factor?
15:27 pinesol_green Dyrcona: It's all parts's fault!
15:28 dboyle joined #evergreen

15:34 bshum Doesn't seem to be a parts problem either.  Though I haven't found bibs with lots of holdings to try further yet.
15:34 bshum Dyrcona++ # I would watch that movie.
15:35 bshum ... uptime 10 minutes for the test server.  Well that's... interesting.
15:35 Dyrcona You caused it to reboot itself?
15:36 Dyrcona I'd check the logs very carefully. It likely has nothing to do with what you were doing in Evergreen.
15:36 bshum Yeah
15:59 edoceo joined #evergreen
16:01 bshum Hmm, it does seem noticeably slower though when I do try it against bibs with large number of holdings.
16:02 bshum And the time it took to go from Submit to successfully placed took longer I mean.
16:02 kmlussier bshum: Yes, it was much slower for me too. My first test on the record with just a few copies went through very quickly.
16:04 kmlussier bshum: Did you say you had the alternate patron editor on the client where you were testing this?
16:04 bshum kmlussier: I am using that, yeah.
16:05 bshum kmlussier: But it's not very different.  The issue I encountered previously was because the server suffered some mysterious reboot :(
16:05 kmlussier I was just noticing that the catalog search/place holds screen loads in a different tab instead of being embedded in that patron frame. I wasn't sure if that would make a difference.

14:35 gmcharlt sborger: you have the floor
14:35 sborger Rogan, Andrea and I are planning a conference call on July 2 to further discuss organizing test efforts.
14:35 sborger I figured that I had some very basic questions about where to get started and how to get my local staff involved so others probably do as well.
14:35 sborger We will come up with a plan and share it at the next board meeting.
14:36 gmcharlt #info Shauna, Rogan, and Andrea are planning a conference call on July 2 to further discuss organizing test efforts.
14:36 gmcharlt any questions for sborger?
14:36 sborger Let me know if you are interested in joining the conference call right away and keep in mind that we will most likely look for volunteers in the future as well.
14:37 Rogan And the goal is to expand involvement so some of it may seem simple but anything that furthers the community through engagement and the work is worthy I think.
14:38 montgoc1 What time on July 2?
14:42 kmlussier Just a general comment. I've been very pleased with teh amount of communication with this release. Thanks Dan!
