[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Getting network failure errors when saving large MARC files (EG master, post 2.1)

[Brian Greene]

Yamil,
 
You are not alone - many libraries in the Sage consortium regularly encounter a network failure when trying to save large bib records. Likewise, the error message window we get is often too tall for typical screen resolution.  
 
Thanks,

I am still having issues with saving large MARC records, even when I  
have max_stanza_sizes of anywhere between 3 million to 7 million.  
Though the errors messages vary a little depending on the  
max_stanza_size I use. I suspect this might be expected when using  
really large max_stanza_size sizes. For example, whent he  
max_stanza_size is set to 3 million I got the same generic "network  
failure" error that also displays the full MARC record which (see  
attached screenshot) as when the max_stanza was set to 2 million.

With a stanza of 5 to 7 million, I get a pop up error that says (see  
attached screenshot) ...

The page at http://my_servers_ip says:

FIXME, MARC Editor, my_init: SyntaxError: missing = in XML attribute


In case it helps, I am including copies of my eg.conf, apache2.conf,  
ejabberd.cfg.

Thanks in advance,
Yamil



P.S. Should I submit a Launchpad bug for the error window's size being  
taller than the typical person's screen resolution? I know that my  
MARC records are larger that most, and that few will ever see this  
type of situation. Therefore I am not sure if this is even considered  
a bug at all.
