I'm not even getting anything before the message I sent out.  I get 
approximately 1 minute of frozen behavior(presumably working on obliterating) 
then the error message.  This also occurs for non-staff users.


Thanks,

Subject: Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Deleting patrons(Obliterate) on 2.3.5 not 
working

Hi Geoff,

Hmm, so obliterating old staff accounts?  On one of my systems, when I try to 
delete a staff account, it initiates a popup saying:

"The user you're attempting to delete has STAFF_LOGIN priviledges.  Please 
enter the barcode for a destination user to receive the deleted user's 
miscellaneous staff artifacts (reports, etc.):"

And then if I input the user I want to meld all the staff data for, it begins 
trying to delete the patron, presumably.  And then after awhile, it came up 
with a Javascript warning about a script running too long, which I clicked okay 
for, and then it popped up with a similar network/server failure as the one you 
saw.  The staff account was not deleted; overall elapsed time was around 1 
minute.  My guess is there's some sort of timeout affecting things and the 
database is rolling things back instead of carrying through the purge process 
and shifting of data pieces.

My system is running master as of 3/25/13, but if you're seeing it in your 
2.3.5, then it might be broken in other branches too.  I'd like to suggest 
reporting this as a bug to the Evergreen bug tracker:  
https://launchpad.net/evergreen

Perhaps others can test this behavior as well and see if they get similar 
failures to confirm this to be a bug.

PS: Side note, the warning message has a misspelling for "priviledges" which 
should be "privileges".  Bite-size fix to the string later I guess.

Hello all,

We have a few libraries in our consortium hoping to purge old staff records and 
deceased patrons and we are running into this error message when we try to make 
this happen:

Network or server failure.  Please check your Internet connection to 
roanoke.northtexaslibraries.org and choose Retry Network.  If you need to enter 
Offline Mode, choose Ignore Errors in this and subsequent dialogs.  If you 
believe this error is due to a bug in Evergreen and not network problems, 
please contact your help desk or friendly Evergreen administrators, and give 
them this information:
method=open-ils.actor.user.delete

THROWN:
null
STATUS:

I don’t believe this is a permissions issue, as our global admin account can’t 
even get this to work.  I’m not sure what this could be otherwise, so I was 
hoping someone out there might be able to shine some light for me to point me 
in the right direction.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
