[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Weekly serials in 2.0

[Marjolein Kremer]

Hi Lebbeous,

Here are the pattern and holding codes we used:

Pattern code for:
vol., no.52,[...]year,month,week[...] weekly (2nd try)
["2","0","8","1","a","vol","b","nr","u","52","v","r","i","(year)","j","(month)","k","(week)","w","w"]
Holding code:
["4","1","8","1","a","10","b","52","i",52,"j",2010]
(does not work)

Pattern code for:
no., [...] year, week (3rd try)
["1","0","8","1","a","no","i","(year)","j","(week)","w","w"]
Holding code:
["4","1","8","1","a","52","i",2010,"j",51]

Pattern code for:
vol., no. 52[...], week, year [...] weekly (4th try)
["2","0","8","1","a","vol","b","no","u","52","v","c","i","(week)","j","(year)","w","w"]
Holding code:
["4","1","8","1","a","10","b","52","i",52,"j",2010]

Pattern code for:
vol., year, week (5th try)
["2","0","8","1","a","vol","i","(year)","j","(week)","w","w"]
Holding code:
["4","1","8","1","a","10","i",2010,"j",52]

We always delete the previous issuance, so that should not be the problem.
We hope you can help.

Hi Marjolein,

I have three initial thoughts that may lead us to a solution.

1) Would it be possible for you to copy and paste here the compiled 
value of the "pattern code" field under the Captions and Patterns tab in 
the Subscription Details interface for the subscription in question? 
This code is the end result of the Caption and Pattern Wizard where you 
choose enumerations, chronology captions and so on. Its exact contents 
may better illuminate any problem.

2) For each test that you perform, do any generated issuances remain in 
the system from previous tests?  If so, you must be sure to delete them. 
  The system will generate predictions based on the most recently 
created issuance, so any issuances you have that were predicted 
incorrectly will perpetuate problems into your subsequent tests.

3) Can you also copy and paste here the value of the "holding code" 
field on your test issuance?  Your test issuance should either be a) the 
only issuance that exists at all for that subscription, or b) the last 
issuance in a set of correctly predicted issuances, if any.

I think this will help diagnosis.

Thanks!
