[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Android: how to determine (quickly) which libraries are hold pickup locations

[Josh Stompro]

Ken, I don't know if this is completely applicable, but as part of the new holds targeter, Bill created a way to pull org unit settings in batch for multiple orgs at once.

That might help in the future.

Subject: [OPEN-ILS-DEV] Android: how to determine (quickly) which libraries are hold pickup locations

I want to determine via OSRF which organizations cannot be hold pickup locations, and prevent the user from selecting those locations when placing a hold.  The only reliable way I have found is to call open-ils.actor.org_unit_setting.values.ranged.retrieve and look for "opac.holds.org_unit_not_pickup_lib":true.  Calling that 339 times takes 54 seconds, even in release mode with a pool of 4 threads.

Can you help me find a better way?

Many thanks,
Ken
