[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Action Triggers

[Tim Spindler]

We have been trying to get these to run but are getting nothing and I have a
feeling we are missing something simple.  First, Ben Shum had provided
information about a month or two ago on what he was doing and we set this up
but no notices are being generated.   Yesterday, I manually ran the
following commands logged in as opensrf and no error messages were generated
but no notices sent out.

./action_trigger_runner.pl --osrf-config /openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml
--run-pending
./action_trigger_runner.pl --osrf-config /openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml
--process-hooks

We have only the defaults installed for Trigger Even Definitions, Hooks, and
Reactors.  I have enabled 3 Day Courtesy Notice, 7 Day Overdue Email
Notification, Hold Ready for Pickup Email Notification, Holds Pull List,
among others and we have set up things so that a 7 day overdue email
notification should be generated and maybe some other notices.  We have one
EDI order we are testing with Ingram that should have uploaded to Ingram's
test site and nothing has happened (PO HTML, PO JEDI enabled and I have put
the edi_pusher.pl and edi_fetcher.pl in the /openils/bin/  directory.

We have not done anything on the server other than set up cronjobs to run.

The following is what Ben originally posted
______________________________________


Part 1 - Action/Trigger cron jobs...

For our case, our cron entries looks more like this:

# Nightly action/trigger passive hook event generator
0 3 * * * cd /openils/bin && /usr/bin/perl ./action_trigger_runner.pl
--osrf-config
/openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml --process-hooks

# Run pending A/T events.
0,15,30,45 * * * * cd /openils/bin && /usr/bin/perl ./
action_trigger_runner.pl --osrf-config /openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml
--run-pending

While not necessary to follow this exact style (I think we're doing it
differently than say the default crontab.example that ships with Evergreen),
I think it does matter to use the --osrf-config option with the
action_trigger_runner.pl script.  We split up the --process-hooks and
--run-pending options because we only planned to process passive events
nightly vs. running the pending much more often (once every 15 minutes
currently).

Part 2 - EDI and Acq...

We were just testing EDI yesterday (got great advice from Galen Charlton via
IRC) and we were finally able to send .EPO files to Ingram's FTP site by
day's end.  It involved setting up theedi_pusher.pl script and running it
after we had finished A/T processing.  The edi_pusher.pl and
edi_fetcher.pl scripts
should be in the Open-ILS/src/support-scripts/ directory and we copied them
to /openils/bin for easy access.

It was also necessary to setup and start the edi_translator pieces.  For
that, you turn to the files in the directory Open-ILS/src/edi_translator.
In that directory, there's an install script that will install the necessary
prerequisites for something called webrick(?).  The script says it was
written for Debian Lenny, but we've tested it successfully with Ubuntu Lucid
(our OS).  We copied that whole directory to /openils/bin (though you could
put it anywhere really), installed the prereqs with the install script, and
then started up the program by calling the edi_webrick.bash script in that
directory.

Hopefully we can work out some sort of installation guide (if one doesn't
already exist) and that can be added to the 2.0+ Documentation.  We may
contact you later about importing a selection list / order information from
Ingram, though I'm unsure if our catalogers have already pieced that
together or not.
