I don't have an OCLC account so I can't test that :) I'll try to compare the attribute values from opensrf.xml with the corresponding database settings later, when I have a few more minutes.

Jason and Don, I just recreated it here. I was able to correctly re-execute the search after closing and reopening the z39.50 interface. I did not have to close the entire client. I will test with other title/author and ISBN combinations to see if it holds true for others. Elaine J.

In my case - trunk - I was able to search LoC and get results by updating the truncation attribute from a value of '0' (the default in Evergreen for attributes) to '1' (to correspond to the LoC-supported values of '1' and '100' as documented at http://www.loc.gov/z3950/lcserver.html#trua). The required SQL was: UPDATE config.z3950_attr SET truncation = 1 WHERE source = 'loc'; Then I shut everything down, wiped my staff client profile, started everything back up, and did a successful fresh search of LoC. This is consistent with what I see in yaz-client: $ yaz-client z3950.loc.gov:7090/Voyager Connecting...OK. Sent initrequest. Connection accepted by v3 target.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Z39.50 Searching
Just to note: We at Beaufort are having this problem mainly with OCLC. I deleted the users profile, created a new one then tried the search process again. It eorked OK for about 5 or 6 tries then went back to what it was doing before. IE in this order: Search Auth/Title records returned Search ISBN records returned Search Auth/Title no records returned. Once the client is (Evergreen Staff Client that is) is reset Auth/Title searching works again until an ISBN search is performed and the Auth/Title search no longer works Thanks Stuart *** Stuart Forrest PhD Library Systems Specialist Beaufort County Library 311 Scott Street Beaufort SC 29902 Tel 843 470 6534 -Original Message- From: open-ils-general-boun...@list.georgialibraries.org [mailto:open-ils-general-boun...@list.georgialibraries.org] On Behalf Of Mike Rylander Sent: Monday, October 12, 2009 12:50 PM To: Evergreen Discussion Group Subject: Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Z39.50 Searching On Mon, Oct 12, 2009 at 12:21 PM, Dan Scott wrote: > 2009/10/12 Hardy, Elaine : >> Jason and Don, >> >> I just recreated it here.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Z39.50 Searching
I've not been able to reliable recreate it in OCLC searching again. I tried about six other author/title/ISBN combinations as well as the example you sent again and it never occurred another time.

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Assistance needed with a report
I'm trying to create a report that will give me the number of users by patron type *for a specific date*. That last one is stumping me. I can't figure out how to get a timestamp for say, Sept. 30. My source is ILS User. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Assistance needed with a report
Hi Catherine, Would it be patrons who used the library (checked out, placed a hold, etc) on a specific date? Or patrons who were created on a specific date? What is the importance of the date in your report? Dates in Evergreen are almost always tied to actions.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Assistance needed with a report
I did it. I need to know the total number of registered patrons on the last day of the month. I ended up filtering this: ILS User ---> User Demographics ---> Record Creation Date/Time, with a field transform of Year+Month and an Operator of On or Before (Date/Time). When I compared the data between Aug and Sept, I came up with a difference of 79, which is the number of new users added in Sept.
