I have been looking at the offline patron download function and would like to know how other libraries use this. Do you do it daily/bi-weekly/weekly? My library hardly ever uses the standalone interface but I have been thinking about it in conjunction with our disaster recovery plan so that in case of catastrophic network failure I know that our list of patrons is up to date before it happens.
Also does Evergreen need to be running to download the list or can it be done via a batch file of sorts scheduled to run just before opening every day so staff does not have to manually download it? There are two files that I see in C:\Documents and Settings\*username*\Application Data\OpenILS\open_ils_staff_client\Profiles\6q37vv63.default\chrome that deal with the patron list. One is the file and the other is a .DATE file. There are also offline files in that folder but they were not modified at the time I downloaded the offline list but they were updated at the staff client login at opening. I appreciate any thoughts in the matter. ~Happy New Year to all! -- Andrew Tillman Lee County Library 245 Walnut Ave S Leesburg, GA 31763 (229) 759-2369 [email protected]
