[OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Action triggers

[Soulliere, Robert]

Ben and Alexey,


We try to get documentation reviewed or tested before it is ported forward. Usually this is coordinated by the content coordinators.

http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=evergreen-docs:digparticipants

However, anyone can report that docs can be ported forward by either:

a. Indicating documentation it good to be ported in the outline for the version:
2.2: http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=evergreen-docs_2.2:outline
2.3: http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=evergreen-docs_2.3:outline


b. Sending a note on the documentation list to indicate that documentation is ready to go into a more current version.


Regards,
Robert

Hi Alexey,

I didn't get a chance to read through all the documentation links being
shared thus far, but I can tell you that we are still using the exact
same process for action_trigger_runner.pl since 2.0. There's a few new
options that we're still experimenting with, such as granularity and
processing in parallel, but largely our nightly processes have gone
unchanged.

Presently we chose to operate our cronjobs similarly to how they were
established in crontab.example that's included with the Evergreen code
with some adjustments based on our own desired operating schedule.

Since nothing significant has changed though, I would assume that
information in older 2.0 docs are likely still valuable.

As for why it's "missing" from 2.1/2.2, I'm unclear on how DIG decides
to port documentation forward, but that seems like a good question to
have DIG members respond to.

From that page and other documentation I gather that active triggers happen automatically and passive triggers need a cron job. Ok.

Is it a problem of missing documentation for this section in 2.1 and 2.2?  Or was the section removed from documentation because the feature is obsolete or no longer needed or not recommended?
