[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Soft Stalling

[Hardy, Elaine]

Unless things have changed in the last versions, stalling is only for
opportunistic capture. Stalling does not apply to the holds targeter.
During the stall, the targeter process can identify a copy outside the
pickup library and it can be captured by the owning library and transited
for the hold. Also, stalling does not take into consideration whether or
not the pickup library owns a copy or not. Opportunistic capture is
stalled regardless.

Hi,

 

I have a question about the Library Setting Soft Stalling.

 

If we retarget Holds every 24 hours and set the soft stalling for 2 days
will the Hold that has targeted the pickup location's copy target another
available/eligible copy in 24 hours or will the Hold continue to target
the pickup location's copy until after the 2 days stalling period?

 

I have found the soft stalling is more effective if set system wide than
if it set for an individual library.

 

Thanks for any information you can share.

 

Joan
