[Evergreen-catalogers] Load MARC Order Record

[Kathy Lussier]

Hi Don,

  This sounds similar to a problem we encountered when first using 
acquisitions a few years ago. In our case, the records would upload as 
expected and we had not trouble using merge profiles or generating the 
copy record. However, every upload on one system had a hanging progress 
bar and the View Purchase Order and other links never appeared.

We later realized that we were lacking a permission on our acquisitions 
accounts that allowed the upload to go as smoothly as it should. The 
CREATE_BIB_IMPORT_QUEUE was one permission we were missing (this 
discover resulted in my filing 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1325637), but I think there 
were others. Since your experience sounds a little different than what 
we experienced, it might be a different permission, but I would start 
with some of the permissions related to batch importing to see if your 
acquisitions folks have all the permissions they need.

I hope this helps!

Kathy
