[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Expired Patrons Notification

[Tim Spindler]

I started looking at this and I'm a little confused and not sure if
something has to be coded on the server side.   I created  the following
through the client on the hook tab.


Hook Key: cw.patron_expired
Core Type: au
Description: Passes expiration date of patron record
Passive: True

I used the Core Type of 'au' and Passive at True at Mike Rylander's
suggestion.  Is this all I need to do or does something need to be set up on
server outside of the client.  I'm wondering because this posting (
http://georgialibraries.markmail.org/thread/ojbm5wnl4awlv33h)  states

Next, we need to load the at.environment.sql and at.event_params.sql files
using

the same syntax from above.

Now, add the new json for the expire filter to your existing

action_trigger_filters.json.example.


I was assuming nothing needed to be done on the server to create a new hook.
Is that correct?
