Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Need Help Billing type: Circulation
Hi Jayaraj, The fines are generated by a utility that is run periodically using Linux's cron service. An crontab example is provided with the Evergreen source code. Here is the version that comes with 2.0.9: http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=Evergreen.git;a=blob;f=Open-ILS/examples/crontab.example;h=1cd1db3d7d0658ce53757beafd23694103d37500;hb=refs/heads/tags/rel_2_0_9 The important line for fine generation is: # Generate fines 30 0 * * * . ~/.bashrc $EG_BIN_DIR/fine_generator.pl $SRF_CORE which would run the fine generator nightly at 12:30 a.m. Hope that's helpful!

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Need Help
Just some guesses that might be problem areas between upgrades... 1) Perhaps you need to use a more up to date opensrf.xml configuration file. Since acquisitions was new in 2.0 vs. 1.6, it's possible that not using the more updated file might mean you're missing key config options that were added between versions. I would carefully check over your existing one and the sample opensrf.xml.example file that comes with the latest 2.0 and note discrepancies. 2) it may be apache related and you should check to make sure that you are using the eg_vhost.conf config file for the right version of Evergreen. This too may have changed between versions. In any case, make a backup of your existing config files so that you don't lose any local changes. There may be additional helpful information in your server logs. Either apache errors or osrferror ones. Do you have access to or see anything odd in your server's logs? That might identify exactly what is causing the internal server error. Feel free to ask any specific questions via the lists. IRC will probably be quiet outside of 9 am through 5 pm EST as most participants are in the USA. I wish you luck during your upgrade process and encourage you to find your way to even more current versions of Evergreen as 2.2 and 2.3 series are the only ones actively supported by the Evergreen Community for development presently. -- Ben Sent from my Galaxy Nexus Jayaraj JR jaya...@iisertvm.ac.in wrote: Dear Sir, We ( IISER Thiruvananthapuram ) are on the way from Evergreen version 1.6.0.0 to 2.2.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Need Help
Jayaraj, We did this fairly recently - migrated a 1.6.x system to an existing 2.2 system that already had 2 libraries sharing it. Our method was to export the bibliographic and holdings information using Cataloging MARC Batch Import/Export in the staff client. We output patron records using the report module. Once we had that information we were able to follow (more or less) the steps outlined here: http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/1.6/draft/html/migratingdata.html Regards, Justin On 10/15/12 12:02 AM, Jayaraj JR wrote: Dear Sir, Is there any way to export ( Bibliographic data and User data ) data from Evergreen 1.6.0.0 to any standard format so that I can Import this data to the fresh installation of Evergreen 2.2 or Evergreen 2.3 Thanking You in Advance -- With Best Regards, *Jayaraj J.

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Need help with edit/merge overlay profile for batch importing
Hi all, One of our libraries has informed us they are getting their own subscription to Overdrive, departing from our group consortial subscription. Since they will have a unique URL for their patrons, and since many of their titles will probably be the same as ours, I need to be able to load their MARC records, have them match on the existing bibs, and add their 856 to the existing record. The result will be at least 2 856 tags, one with their URL and one with the Bibliomation URL. We will be using subfield 9 with their system short name to allow their link to show only in their catalog, while our 856 will contain a string of subfields 9 for the other subscribing libraries in our group subscription. However, I can't seem to work out the right settings for the Edit/Merge Overlay Profile in the Evergreen client. The obvious one to me would be the Add line. I entered 856 on that line and saved the profile, but when I use it, the records will not merge or overlay. They will not import at all. My import settings were Merge on single match and I specified the merge profile I had created. Thinking outside the box, I tried entering 856 in both the Preserve and Add lines. This time the records imported, but did not add the extra 856. I know I don't want to use Replace. That will remove our 856 and put the single library's in. Is there anyone out there that can help me work this out? Thanks, Mary Mary Llewellyn Database Manager Bibliomation, Inc. Middlebury, CT mllew...@biblio.org
Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Need help with edit/merge overlay profile forbatch importing
Hi Mary, Something similar happened to me, but it was when I was working with the new Vandelay development in master, so I'm not sure if the method that ultimately worked for me will also work for you. When I set up a profile that preserve the 901c field and added the 856 field, I was able to get Vandelay to add the 856 field to the record. FWIW, I believe this was eventually fixed in master so that it would no longer be necessary to preserve or replace a 901c field to get Vandelay to add an 856. Let us know if it works!

The Hmm, I'm not familiar with mangle_marc.pl. records appear to go in but then we can't find any of the records in Evergreen. This is a common problem. See https://answers.launchpad.net/evergreen/+question/86623 for one attempt to diagnose it. From the OPAC, it could be caused by anything from not having call numbers and copies attached to the bib records, or being attached but not in opac-visible copy locations / libraries / statuses. From the staff client, records should generally be retrievable once they've been imported; if they're not visible, then it's likely that the import went wrong. We're thinking that if anyone could explain asset.copy_transparancy and asset_copy_transparancy_map tables for us it might help. I think Jason Etheridge answered this for you in IRC, but for the mailing list, these tables had been intended to overlay (like a transparency on top of paper) temporary values on a copy without changing those copy attributes. If I recall correctly, he also said that the tables are unused and should probably be removed from the database schema. So.. a dead end / red herring.

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Need help understanding the basics
I apologize if this information is in the documentation. At the very least, I am having difficulty connecting the dots. In case it affects the specifics of response to my question, I am running a new Hardy 8.04 vmware installation with a windows client rel_1_2_3_1, and am using a Marson Wasp Barcode Scanner. I am am very green when it comes to understanding library systems, so I do not have any background knowledge to draw from when working with Evergreen. I have three scenarios that I am working with, and would greatly appreciate step by step instructions to complete each task. 1. Steps for adding a paper back book that has a bar code on it into Evergreen. 2. Steps for importing information from Marc records from a free site using isbn numbers found on book we already own, or will purchase 3. Steps for adding a book to evergreen, and associating it to the bar code found on the book, or a new one we would adhere to it. Maybe this would turn into a conversation not wanted on the list. If that is the case, it would be helpful if I could converse with someone off-list. Thanks in advance! Raymond
