[Evergreen-dev] Batch copy deletes

[Galen Charlton]

Hi Tiffany,

One way to cover your bases is to use the API method
open-ils.cat.asset.copy.fleshed.batch.update or
open-ils.cat.asset.copy.fleshed.batch.update.override to do the deletion.
Given a list of item IDs, following the example of
$scope.deleteCopiesFromCatalog in
Open-ILS/web/js/ui/default/staff/cat/bucket/copy/app.js would do it:

For each item in the list:

1. use open-ils.search.asset.copy.fleshed2.retrieve to retrieve an acp
fieldmapper object for the item
2. set the fieldmapper objects ischanged and isdeleted fields
3. stash it in an array
4. (optionally) iterate and let the array grow up to (say) 50 items
5. use open-ils.cat.asset.copy.fleshed.batch.update.override to request the
deletion of the array of items

Doing it that way will get you the propagation of deleting call numbers and
bibs left empty by deleting the items.

Regards,

Galen
