Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Prediction pattern for annual serial
I believe David is correct. With only one volume per year the volumes increment by year not month.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Prediction pattern for annual serial
Hello, I am also unfortunately not able to reproduce this problem on 2.2. If anyone can reproduce this, could you please post both your pattern code and also the holding code of your starter, along with your exact Evergreen version?

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Prediction pattern for annual serial
Hi Erhan, That's interesting to hear the prediction pattern has been working successfully for you. We were trying it on a 2.2 beta2 system.
