[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Reshelving status?

[Ben Shum]

Hi Jennifer,

In a reply I made a couple months ago, I described in a little more
detail how the reshelving interval might be processed (see
http://georgialibraries.markmail.org/thread/skib7pmbyu6v3cwz)  You may
find that you need to set it to less than "1 day" exactly, and more
like "1 hour" to definitely catch up and move things back to Available
when the reshelving_complete.srfsh cron job runs daily.  Also, are you
saying that nothing is changing after one day, exactly?  Or that
nothing is changing at all?  Maybe you should verify that the right
script is running on your Evergreen system.

To my knowledge, there is no easy way to bypass the reshelving status,
but you can consider other options.  Like renaming the copy status to
"available" (lowercase, instead of init capitalized, making it
different, but conceptually the same).

As for making a second checkin change the status definitely to
available, that's a nice idea, but I could see it being trouble on
situations like double-scanning or other mis-scans in live use.  That
said, if you were to sponsor development in this area, perhaps other
libraries may be interested.

Cheers,
