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

[Brian Greene]

We try a few things: reduce the size of the record until it will save (leaving an incomplete record); ask someone at a different location (i.e. another city) to try saving it and/or try saving it at a later time. Sometimes saving from a different location or waiting until the next morning works, but not consistently. We've thought of a number of possible causes - most recently the inclusion of a 246 field - but I haven't pursued that explanation and the others didn't hold up.  
 
I'm not sure about our max_stanza_size, but our system administrator is on this list and can probably provide that info once she sees this thread.

Brian,

Do you guys have a workaround to save changes to those records? Do you  
know your max_stanza_size?

Thanks in advance,
Yamil
