Bug #: 7255
Summary: Information on Holds Transfer Slips is Inconsistent
Classification: Unclassified
Change sponsored?: ---
Product: Koha
Version: master
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5 - low
Component: Circulation

Some of my libraries are experiencing situations where the items barcode number
and call number sometimes print on the hold transfer slip and sometimes not.
Other libraries have never had this information print on the slip.
We've discovered that they've got a race condition in the code; when you click
"confirm and print slip", you're both submitting the form that confirms the
hold, as well as opening the transfer slip page. If this is a title-level hold
originally, the item information (barcode and callnumber) isn't filled in until
the form you've submitted completes it's action. So, depending on all kinds of
server-level variables, the transfer slip process will either complete first,
and not show item information, or complete second, and include
barcode/callnumber. There is no way to tell which process will win the race
ahead of time.
So that's WHY it's a problem. As to how to fix it, we're not sure yet. The
best solution would be to modify the page so that submitting the form
completes, then triggers the hold slip (rather than both starting up at once),
but that would involve an extensive reworking of the system. A quicker solution
is to introduce a delay, but we're not sure exactly where yet.
