Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] 3.0.2-3.0.3 Upgrade DB script takes over a week to finish

[Kathy Lussier]

Hi Jesse,

After I responded to your e-mail, I submitted a bug with some code to 
make this change to the 3.0.2-3.0.3 upgrade script. If you look at the 
submitted code, you'll see exactly how you would add the lines to that 
particular script. You could copy and paste the code  the additions that 
were made to the script. If you use git, you could also cherry-pick this 
patch to apply the changes.


Please note: this patch has not been reviewed by anyone yet, so it might 
not be a bad idea for somebody to take a look at it and verify that it 
looks okay.


http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=working/Evergreen.git;a=blobdiff;f=Open-ILS/src/sql/Pg/version-upgrade/3.0.2-3.0.3-upgrade-db.sql;h=6ca665dad31f9e34b39b04fecc9f84ea44745ce1;hp=74a7c0117003a9db2b0d69cde85337216bdab467;hb=d1918fdd3627332a06b9d7a214544d2e46302a1a;hpb=5a6636f53ad07c718c6ba207d3f9d543deec72db

If you make those changes as is, there is a section at the end that 
reenables the triggers before it finishes up.

If you add the code to disable triggers, etc., from the 2.12.6 to 3.0 upgrade 
script, then it runs it much less time. It ran in about half an hour on my test 
system.

BTW, are you upgrading from 2.10 to 3.0? If so, it sometimes helps to make a 
single upgrade script because some steps are occasionally repeated. In this 
particular case, the 2.12.6 to 3.0.0 upgrade script does this calculation. It 
would be wise to bundle everything up and put that update at the end so you 
only have to do it once, rather than twice.

There's an authority ingest in that 2.12.6 to 3.0 upgrade that takes a lot 
longer on my test system.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Holdings View in Web Client

[scott.tho...@sparkpa.org]

Jason,
   Thank you for this information. Regarding this particular bug, it is too 
serious to leave to #3, and we don't have the wherewithal to do #1 so we may 
try to do #2...but will likely need funding partners...which brings us to #4: 
work together to get it fixed.

Bug targeting is done by one of the members of the drivers group. It is usually 
done only for bugs that have patches or where someone is working on it and is 
likely to have a patch ready in time for the release. We (mostly I) sometimes 
break the unwritten rules and target bugs prematurely.

As for how to get specific bugs fixed, you basically have 3 options:

1. Fix it yourself.
2. Hire someone else to fix it.
3. Wait for someone else to do 1 or 2.

HtH,
Jason

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Holdings View in Web Client

[Kathy Lussier]

To be clear, nobody is talking about getting rid of Holdings 
Maintenance. It has a new name - holdings view - and there have been 
some changes in the display, some of which are improvements and other 
changes that are causing problems, some of which are significant. But I 
haven't heard anyone suggest getting rid of it.

I just had this reported to me, and it does seem to be problematic. 
Many of our libraries use Holdings Maintenance in XUL as the first 
step in adding volumes and copies. This works out well because, even 
if a given library system has no volumes or copies under a given 
title, the org unit tree for that system appears in Holdings 
Maintenance and you can easily add volumes / copies to a specific 
branch. This tree does not appear in the Web Client so adding volumes 
to a branch requires several more steps as a user is forced to select 
the branch org unit at several junctures.  Am I missing something? Has 
anyone else noticed this?

Yes - if we implement Syndetics Classic the way they intend for it to be
implemented, it will appear in a popup like the one screen-capped here:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iHPL-hUcHSfBbk-vbDbb1i2rJNC9e27b/view?usp=sharing

Then, instead of Evergreen needing to go check for each possible type of
content and possible review and then screen-scrape or parse the content
out, it only checks to see if the main summary page is available and
displays that, and Syndetics takes care of the rest.

Alternatively, instead of a screencap, it could be displayed in an iframe
or something like that. I prefer the pop-up.

Elaine,
   I agree this is an impediment to implementing the Web Client in centralized 
or semi-centralized cataloging departments (of which we have many). I am just 
not conversant on the ins & outs of how to get fixes into a release versus a 
maintenance release versus a patch.

Yes, this is one of the very first things we noticed and is a showstopper

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Holdings View in Web Client

[scott.tho...@sparkpa.org]

I just had this reported to me, and it does seem to be problematic. Many of our 
libraries use Holdings Maintenance in XUL as the first step in adding volumes 
and copies. This works out well because, even if a given library system has no 
volumes or copies under a given title, the org unit tree for that system 
appears in Holdings Maintenance and you can easily add volumes / copies to a 
specific branch. This tree does not appear in the Web Client so adding volumes 
to a branch requires several more steps as a user is forced to select the 
branch org unit at several junctures.  Am I missing something? Has anyone else 
noticed this?
