Kuitenkin tämän jälkeen teemme osalle kirjastoja uudelleenindeksoinnin hakuun, että kaikilla on viimeisimmät hakutoiminnallisuudet käytössä. Tämä kestää 10-45 minuuttia riippuen tietokannan koosta.

3.1 Update of updated Kohas (to the latest version)

• Koha is updated to 20.11. version. Update done to several libraries already, last libraries will be updated on January 26th.
• Acquisitions price are incorrect (HAMK, XAMK) → needs to be checked.
  • In acquisition one should be carefull to fil up all price fields when receiving items. Koha does not anymore update automatically Unitprice -fields when receiving items.
• Notices - borrower language
  • There is a new setting in Koha (from version 19.11.) for translating 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 borrowers having lang other that "default" or "fi-FI"
• Borrower language
  • There are borrowers having language "fi" in databases. That is a conversion error and should be fixed to "fi-FI." KorjattuFIXED
    
• What if the notices are not sent? It is hard to know which notices are not sent (or created at all). 3AMK has tried to examine. Will share queries if they work.
• Problem only with overdue messages, not with others? Joonas: we cannot be sure. Pre-warnings do work.
• "fi" language code derives from Voyager and was not used until now. Until these are fixed do not switch the setting on, so that default template will be used > Fixed, setting can be turned on.
  

2.4. Status report, common test environment

...

• 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.
  • Development tasks prioritized on the meeting and priorities are found on update schedule -page
  • There are some development tasks in Bugzilla that are needing testing and sign off. Specialists will try to test and sign off all those issues where they have tools to test. Tasks about signing of are documented in the table of development issues.
  • Issues that will need status review or discussion:
• Priority 1 issues
  • #T24 & #T25
    • 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.
    • This is big refactoring, will take Q1+Q2.
    • Will revisit in January.
  • #18 - Will be fixed in the nex update
  • #F16 - Christian will ask from Finna-posti
  • #11 #11 DO NOT ALLOW SELF SERVICE CHECK OUT WHEN ON HOLD AND IN TRANSFER – KULJETUTUSTILAISTEN VARATTUJEN NITEIDEN LAINAAMINEN AUTOMAATILLA ESTETTÄVÄ - Discussed. Hard to estimate the timeline (the other bugs). Will be discussed in January again.
  • Transfer hold checkout fix is going forward,

2.5. Discussion topics - items that need discussion about priority or definitions for implementing

2.5.1 How long to keep action logs and deleted data in database 

...

• Bugzilla reporting is important, everyone is encouraged to do those tickets.
• Add a link to our own documentatio in Kiwi or Redmine
• Does not apply to Finna issues.
• Does not apply to plugins. For example, printer plugin, made by Bywater, they might have a Github project.
• As noted above, we shall use Redmine for internal purposes.
• Joonas will create a new Project. Needs to be discussed with Koha-Suomi?
• Let's start with a clean list regarding CV. Joonas will do it.
• Let's use English primarily.
• Who can do Bugzilla reports? System librarians.

3. Other issues

• Translation mistake, "kausijulkaisut"? (In component parts). Translation makes sense in Koha-Suomi.

• Tuudo:

  • Koha-plugin should be installed after Koha upgrade
  • permissions need to be narrowed
• Voyager fines: there are some fines remaining from Voyager time where fines were still in accruing situation in Voyager. There was incorrect information if the item was returned or not.
  • SQL-query that will list these fines is: (Query fixed by Minna 22.12.2020)
  • SELECT * FROM accountlines WHERE debit_type_code="overdue" and itemnumber is null and amountoutstanding > 0 
  • Are there results to report in the first place?
  • If there are such, libraries should check how these look like and then fix fines in table. - HOW to FIX? /Minna 22.12.2020
  • Fees should be fixed after updating to 20.XX version
  • We return to this in January!
• Statistics
  • KK will run the statistics for the Consortium costs distribution.
  • Also, Sanasto statistics will be done by KK
• Patrons' right to check and correct their data. Has been discussed if Hypernova can do development on this. Some work has been done in the community but needs further development.
