1.2. Version update to 20.11.
- Koha update to 20.11. version. Update done to several =
libraries already, last libraries will be updated on January 26th.
1.3. Version update to the Koh=
a x.xx in February
- All libraries will be updated to a n=
ew Koha version on February 15th, 2021. The upgrade starts circa 07.05 and =
takes about 10 minutes. During this time, there will be breaks in use of Ko=
ha, lasting a few minutes. Also, after upgrade there will be reindexing don=
e for certain libraries. That will take 10 to 45 minutes, depending on the =
size of the database.
- 264c will be added to the biblio tab=
le separately very possibly before this update. (Important to manage hold q=
ueues.)
2. Issues
- Acquisitions price are incorrect (HAMK, XAMK)
- In acquisition one should be careful to fill up all price fields when r=
eceiving items. Koha does not anymore update automatically Unitprice -field=
s when receiving items.
- Ticket required =E2=86=92 Redmine =E2=86=92 Palaute-projekti
- Reporting to Bugzilla may often result in quick fixes.=
- Notices - borrower language=20
- There is a new setting in Koha (from version 19.11.) for transl=
ating notices. (System preference: I18N/L10N preferences - TranslateNotices=
)
- If the setting has been set Allow and there has been no noticetemplate =
for other languages (fi, en, sv-SE), no notices have been sent from borrowe=
rs having lang other that "default" or "fi-FI"
- FIXED Borrower la=
nguage
- There are borrowers having language "fi" in databases. That is a conver=
sion error and should be fixed to "fi-FI." FIXED
- Important: If a library define a language for a patron=
, the library must see to that that either (1) language has the message tem=
plates for the language in question; or (2) that translating is disabled.=
li>
- "fi" language code derives from Voyager and was not used until now. Unt=
il these are fixed do not switch the setting on, so that default template w=
ill be used > Fixed, setting can be turned on.
- What if the notices are not sent? It is hard to know w=
hich notices are not sent (or created at all). 3AMK has tried to examine. 1=
) One query in which sent message types can be compared e.g. with Excel. 2)=
Also created queries about loans, which had due date 4.11.-21.12. at the t=
ime when the queries were ran. Sysadmins went through manually all borrower=
s on the lists and checked if notices were created.
- Reporting to Bugzilla may often result in quick fixes.
- Problem only with overdue messages, not with others? Joonas: we cannot =
be sure. Pre-warnings do work.
- 3AMK Tuudo special case: Tuudo card holders began to receive extra mess=
ages. To be sure, 3AMK has made all templates although they are not current=
ly in use.
- Voyager fines: there are some fines remaining from Voy=
ager time where fines were still in accruing situation in Voyager. There wa=
s incorrect information if the item was returned or not.=20
- SQL-query that will list these fines is:
- SELECT * FROM accountlines WHERE debit_type_code=3D"overdue" and itemnu=
mber is null and amountoutstanding > 0
- Are there results to report in the first place? If there are such, libr=
aries should check how these look like and then fix fines in table.
- Fees should be fixed after updating to 20.XX version.<=
/li>
- My=C3=B6s Kohan aikaisia maksuja tilassa kertyv=C3=A4 maksu, vaikka pal=
autettu.
- KK has not have time to look at this yet.
- Mia will send details about their case to koha-posti.
3. Development tasks
- Development tasks are listed on KIWI -page Update schedule and progress tracking. All development tasks are numbered on list so that it is easier to refer=
to each task.=20
- Development tasks prioritized on the meeting and priorities are found o=
n update schedule -page
- There are some development tasks in Bugzilla that are needing testing a=
nd sign off. Specialists will try to test and sign off all those issues whe=
re they have tools to test. Tasks about signing of are documented in the ta=
ble of development issues.
- Issues that will need status review or discussion:
3.1. Priority 1 tasks
- #T24 & #T25=20
- This is big refactoring, will take Q1+Q2.
- if items cannot be transferred, hold button should be hidden
- If no items (only biblio), hold button should be hidden
- On the other hand, patron should be able to make hold and pick it up in=
that library. (Must be tested if works now)
- Joonas is working with the root issue. Lots of necessary checks missing=
(Patron's fines, branch, etc.) Must make this follow circulation rules.
- Same applies to holds-to-pull list, it does not follow circ rules. And =
transfers, different logic in different places, have similar issues.
- No update at this time.
- #F16 - Christian will ask from Finna-posti=20
- Any translations in Koha (authorized values) - contains a description o=
nly, cannot have impact on this issue?
- Code based translations do not work, shows only the description.
- Something must have changed!
- Johanna will look what is different in Metropolia: in Metropolia, they =
have done new translations, which have to cover all branches. For example:<=
br>
- location_Metropolia Arabia, Laina-aika 14 vrk =3D "Metropolia Arabia, K=
ahden viikon laina"
- location_Metropolia Arabia, Laina-aika 28 vrk =3D "Metropolia Arabia, N=
elj=C3=A4n viikon laina"
location_Metropolia Arabia, Nuotit - Laina-aika 14 vrk =3D "Metropol=
ia Arabia: Nuotit, Kahden viikon laina"
location_Metropolia Arabia, Nuotit - Laina-aika 28 vrk =3D "Metropol=
ia Arabia: Nuotit, Nelj=C3=A4n viikon laina"
location_Metropolia Karamalmi, Laina-aika 14 vrk =3D "Metropolia Kar=
amalmi, Kahden viikon laina"
location_Metropolia Karamalmi, Laina-aika 28 vrk =3D "Metropolia Kar=
amalmi, Nelj=C3=A4n viikon laina"
- Esa-Pekka will inquire again.
- #11 DO NOT ALLOW SELF SERVIC=
E CHECK OUT WHEN ON HOLD AND IN TRANSFER =E2=80=93 KULJETUTUSTILAISTEN VARA=
TTUJEN NITEIDEN LAINAAMINEN AUTOMAATILLA ESTETT=C3=84V=C3=84 - Discu=
ssed. Hard to estimate the timeline (the other bugs). Will be discussed in =
January again.=20
3.2. Other tasks
- Patrons' right to check and correct their data.
- Some work has been done in the community but needs further development.=
4. Common test environment
5 Action logs
How long to keep action logs and deleted data in databa=
se
- In the last meeting,following notes were made
- deleted_borrowers: "We need to list cases where it's important to keep,=
or important to delete this data."=20
- Decided: for GDPR reasons, 1 month is good.
- EP will inform superlibrarians.
- action_logs: "It would be nice to be able to delete patron data without=
deleting everything else."=20
- Difference btw patron related data and bibliographic data
- Needs pseudonymization
- If we do cronjobs, HAMK would be first affected.
- It is easy to see 6 months back. What about the rest? There is a table =
called 'action_logs_cache' where these can be found.
- NLF is not taking action at the moment,.
- Is there need to revisit the table otherwise?
Patro=
n pseudonymization
