Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] seving multiple patrons at once

[Terran McCanna]

There is a launchpad bug to replace the missing "Retrieve Patrons" button
that we had in XUL that allowed us to retrieve multiple patrons from the
patron search results screen at once:

I tested quickly and Firefox does all that as well.

Hi Diane,

You can open multiple tabs in your web browser to do the same thing so you
can switch back and forth (right-click on a link and open in a new tab, or
CTRL-T), or you could create a folder on your browser's bookmarks toolbar
just to store direct bookmarks to each of those accounts.

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] seving multiple patrons at once

[Diane Disbro]

Good morning -

 

When our bookmobile visits school, students from more than one class come
onto the bookmobile at the same time. In XUL, staff keep several teacher
accounts open at once so that they can flip between classes as they serve
patrons. 

 

Is there a way to do the same thing in Webby without creating permanent tabs
for each teacher at each school - which, of course, we can't do because the
Favorites bar isn't long enough?

 

Thank you.

Yes Ben I did rename the organizational units.

Ah okay, I re-read your original email.  So this error is only occurring when 
you do a search by database ID?  And you're on a 2.11 test system?  And you're 
using the database ID from Evergreen for the bib record you want to find?  
Hmm... I'll think about that some more.

 

It could be that there's some other misconfigured setting afoot.  What other 
changes have you made to the test server?  Did you rename any of the 
organizational units?

Slow rate of response and internal server errors like that, my first instinct 
would be a potential memory exhaustion issue and Linux killing off critical 
services in between use and commands.

 

How much RAM is assigned to your test server?  For my test servers, I usually 
assign 4 GB of memory for my Evergreen virtual machines.  For production, you 
will probably need more memory depending on the number of users expected to 
access, size of your database with real bib records and copy data, etc.

Bit of a wild guess, but Apache needs to be started or restarted *after* the 
opensrf services.

confirmed the ID does exist in the database. Anyone else ever experienced this,

Searching the catalog won’t work either as when I click on a title, the page 
takes an unbelievable amount of time to load, then brings up the search screen 
as in the attached screenshot. 

Some help will be appreciated.

I just noticed something, database IDs 1-4 are responding, everything after 
that is resulting in the same error. I don’t understand why, I imported the 
same xml file using the instructions on migration. Anyone else ever experienced 
this?
