[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Removing Age Protection after expired

[Hardy, Elaine]

Just so you know, there is a reason why the age protection remains, but it 
is PINES specific. A PINES library, prior to Evergreen, was returning items 
to age protection after it expired so that no other system’s patrons could 
place holds. To prevent that, age protection in Evergreen was designed to 
remain after expiration so that it could not be reassigned to an item.

We have a cron that runs to do this from an SQL script.

Josh,

We have a custom made perl cron job to remove the protection. I didn't 
realize it was a bug! I would be happy to share the perl script (it is 
fairly custom to our needs but it can be adapted easily)

Hello, does anyone else out there remove the age protection from copies 
after it has expired.  I’ve been asked to set that up, and it seems like a 
shame since it was designed to just work automatically, except that items 
with expired age protection still show up as age protected in the catalog. 
There is a bug open about it at 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1251761



Does anyone currently go through and remove the age protection to get around 
that issue?  If so do you do it directly at the DB level or do you use the 
client?  Are there any gotchas about directly updating asset.copy to change 
the age protection and also changing the shelving location at the same time.



If anyone wants to combine resources to get that bug fixed, either with 
brain power or development funding let me know also.
