09:30 fridolin            thanks ;)
09:31 josef_moravec       fridolin: you are doing great job on 17.05, we're still using it in production ;)
09:35 fridolin            oki I'll try to stabilise it
09:36 fridolin            until 17.05.16
09:36 josef_moravec       that's absolutaly OK? we are planning to migrate to 18.05 during the summer (sometimes) ;)
09:45 cait                josef_moravec: we still need qa, but some tiem to the next release now
11:02 AndrewIsh_          Hey all. Is anyone aware of any outstanding performance bugs on the REST API? I've been looking at poor response times on the ILL endpoint and discovered it actually appears to affect all endpoints. For example, a GET request to the /api/v1/cities endpoint, is taking 5.7s to respond with an empty response, similarly, a very simple GET on all ILL requests takes a similar time to response, with only 6 requests. Is anyone already aware of this?
11:10 ashimema            I thought it was ILL specific due to the complex nature of the db
11:10 ashimema            but perhaps not
11:12 eythian             For those sorts of delays, my first thought is often a failing DNS lookup.
11:21 cait                AndrewIsh_: usng plack?
11:28 AndrewIsh_          ashimema: That was my thought, but no, I'm seeing the same on cities
11:28 AndrewIsh_          eythian: I'm seeing the same problem across my dev server and a customer's test server, so not likely to be DNS
11:28 AndrewIsh_          cait: Seeing it both with Plack and without
11:31 cait                something to discuss with tcohen maybe - for the limited testing I did with browser tools it didn't seem esepcially slow, but I might just not have noticed
11:33 josef_moravec       i didn't notice the slow api nor in tests or using browser
11:36 eythian             AndrewIsh_: play around with something like this, and/or nytprof then perhaps https://metacpan.org/pod/Plack::Middleware::ServerTiming
11:53 oleonard            Hi #koha
12:04 AndrewIsh_          Thanks eythian - I will try that!
12:52 tcohen              AndrewIsh_: https://snag.gy/YlVPKi.jpg
12:52 tcohen              I think you had plack disabled due to incompatibility with Shibboleth?
12:57 AndrewIsh_          tcohen: Interesting, glad it's not something inherently wrong with the API :) I'm going to do some more testing, I've seen the problem on both Plack and non-Plack instances. I'll dig some more and report back. Thanks for that screenshot, very reassuring :D
12:58 tcohen              that's returning 40-ish patrons that come with the sample data
13:21 gveranis            hi koha#
13:22 gveranis            I would like to ask if community has a plugin for the field 000 creation on authorities in UNIMARC mode
13:41 ashimema            is there any magic that needs doing for a plugin to work under plack?
13:42 ashimema            I get `Can't locate object method "output_html" via package "Koha::Plugin::Com::...`
13:42 ashimema            if i run under cgi there's no such error
13:46 Joubu               ashimema: it's a new method (since 18.05 I think) of Koha::Plugins::Base
13:48 ashimema            oh.. thanks
14:15 cait                hi oleonard :)
14:20 oleonard            Hi cait
14:35 semarie             hi. I have a quite old koha installation (3.06.12) I would like to upgrade to latest. what is the right way to do it ?
14:55 caroline            hello everyone!
14:57 oleonard            Hi caroline
14:57 caroline            Hi oleonard!
14:58 oleonard            semarie: The advice I've always heard about migrating old installations is to export your Koha database and import it into a fresh, up-to-date Koha installation.
14:58 oleonard            semarie: It is not recommended that you upgrade an installation which is that old.
14:59 oleonard            semarie: It's not my area of expertise, I'm just repeating what I've heard.
15:00 semarie             oleonard: about the "export". it is just a mysqldump ?
15:00 reiveune            bye
15:00 oleonard            semarie: Yes
15:01 eythian             a mysqldump and reload is pretty much the same as doing an upgrade
15:01 semarie             for now, I have done it this way, but I am unsure about the upgrade process.
15:01 semarie             installer/install.pl doesn't see the "old" version
15:02 semarie             "Nous effectuons une mise à jour de Koha 18.05.00.000 à Koha 18.05.00.000"
15:02 semarie             which is wrong. the starting point isn't 18.05.00.000
15:03 semarie             but I saw some command-line tools like: koha-upgrade-to-3.4
15:03 semarie             "Performs the necessary changes to upgrade a Koha system from 3.2 to 3.4"
15:03 Joubu               hi semarie
15:03 Joubu               you have 3.6
15:03 Joubu               so you do not need this script
15:03 Joubu               I would restart memcached
15:04 semarie             ah yes :)
15:04 semarie             Joubu: thanks. now it see the right version
15:07 Joubu               semarie: 18.05.01 has been released yesterday, it fixes several big issues of .00
15:07 semarie             I installed using debian packages for 'stable'
15:09 Joubu               packages will be available in the next few days
15:10 semarie             so I will be able to check how upgrade using package is :)
15:20 * oleonard          anxiously awaits the exciting turnover to Bug 21000

15:32 lavamind_           oleonard: maybe not as exciting but hopefully valid ? :P
15:32 lavamind_           data loss bugs are exciting XD
15:33 * oleonard          doesn't get excited about bugs he doesn't know how to fix
15:35 lavamind_           I would say, those are the best bugs because you get to learn something
15:36 ashimema            No idea I'm afraid cait
15:36 cait                nm we will try it out
15:36 cait                i found a bug stating it was broken and fixed - so assume it should work
15:36 cait                just not sure about syntax
15:41 Joubu               @later tell tcohen: a ref to koha-plack is missing from the wiki install pages, right?
15:41 huginn              Joubu: The operation succeeded.

15:48 tcohen              hi kidclamp!
15:48 kidclamp            @later tell joubu it should have, apaprently didn't set it up right on my laptop, so my dekstop caught me on next push
15:48 huginn              kidclamp: The operation succeeded.
15:48 Joubu               kidclamp: hum? context please :)
15:48 kidclamp            heh,testing irccloud so forget it steals my nicknameif I try to sign in elsewhere
15:49 kidclamp            pre-push should have saved me

16:54 cait                i must finished the german translation today
16:57 cait                we have a library rpeorting issues with the speciy due_date checkbox
16:57 cait                like it magically reappearing
16:57 cait                so far we can't reproduce it - and the bug survived an update too
16:57 cait                so the cookie was just an additional catch...
16:58 cait                hm they are right
16:58 cait                i remove it weith delete and it comes back
16:58 cait                when i switch to another user
17:01 cait                hm yep not getting rid of the special due date
17:05 cait                hm it's not a cookie... so where does it store that youchecked the checkbox

21:14 tcohen              hi rangi!
21:15 rangi               https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/KohaCon18_Proposals#Arrivals_.26_Departures <-- tcohen you should add your details :)
21:15 wizzyrea            hi tcohen
21:15 tcohen              rangi, indeed!
21:15 tcohen              hi wizzyrea
21:26 gveranis            hi #koha , I try to do a matching rule for field 001 but nothing worked. I have unimarc koha 17.11. Can someone help ?
21:27 gveranis            I follow the documentation : https://koha-community.org/manual/18.11/en/html/administration.html and other guidelines from koha mail listing without success
21:30 cait                what info did you enter?
21:30 cait                can you share a screenshot?
21:31 cait                if you used Control-number that might not work for UNIMARC
21:32 cait                gveranis: try Local-number
21:33 gveranis            I tried also with no success
21:33 gveranis            length should have a value ?
21:33 cait                no you can leave that empt
21:33 cait                y
21:33 cait                offset too
21:33 cait                and subfield
21:33 cait                leave it
21:33 cait                001 has no subfields
21:33 cait                the example is very flawed
21:34 gveranis            Match Threshold -> 100
21:34 cait                also if you are not using mulitple match points, the match threshold should match the score
21:34 cait                score = 100
21:34 gveranis            score 101
21:34 gveranis            a
21:34 cait                yeah that makes no sense
21:34 tcohen              rangi: done!
21:34 rangi               cool :)
21:34 cait                ah i tides
21:34 cait                sorry
21:34 cait                it does
21:34 cait                match threshold 101 and score 100 would make no sense
21:35 cait                but htey can also be the same, it should work
21:35 cait                the important bit usually is the Search index
21:35 cait                what are you using there?
21:36 gveranis            cait it works now. with Local-number and match threshold = score = 100
21:37 cait                cool :)
21:37 gveranis            and if i would like to do a match record rule for a field/subfield that not have search-index
21:37 gveranis            it is something feasible ? or not ?
21:37 cait                i haven't used it, but it shoudl be possible using the match check
21:38 gveranis            with the same arguments as matchpoint ?
21:38 cait                see at the bottom of the form?
21:38 cait                you can add either match points - they require an index
21:38 cait                or you can add match checks
21:38 cait                and you can combine both
21:39 gveranis            oh ok
21:39 cait                match checks are using the db i think (from what i've read somewhere)
21:39 cait                usually zebra based matching should be faster
21:39 MilkManzJourDaddy   Let's try this again…  I want to recommend a F.(L.)O.S.S. I.L.S. to a library that is a member of a library union/system.  The union/system uses a O.P.A.C. which is Innovative Interfaces, Inc.'s Sierra ILS & Encore Discovery Solution.  Assuming that is M.A.R.C., could they use Koha as a client?
21:41 cait                I guess it would dependon how hteir union catalog is organized
21:41 cait                or library uion
21:41 cait                if they all have to use the same ILS koha might not fit in
21:41 cait                and koha is a full ILS, so you can't use 'just the OPAC'  - if you are just looking for a different search interface
21:41 gveranis            Sierra is a central systems which use scopes but the database is one
21:42 gveranis            if they want only functionality for OPAC you can suggest Vufind fo the integration between Sierra and other sources
21:42 gveranis            they are compatible
21:43 gveranis            If they want to use ILS then they cannot use Koha as a client it not the same thing
21:43 gveranis            my job is to be it administrator on a such a thing you described in Greece.. 26 academic libraries under a Sierra ..
21:44 gveranis            and believe me I search it a lot to move some way to Koha..
21:45 MilkManzJourDaddy   Vufind for the library's I.L.S. Hmmm.  Thanks.  Well the union/system maintains the central database, but the library should be able to do it's own ILS, working with a DB.  Thanks.
21:45 gveranis            They can move to Koha as seperate ILS and provide records to Enocre
21:45 gveranis            if they want to be connected some how..
21:45 gveranis            *Encore
21:46 MilkManzJourDaddy   This is what I mean.
21:46 cait                vufind is not an ILS
21:46 gveranis            Vufind only for the OPAC
21:46 cait                yep
21:46 gveranis            yes it is not ILS
21:46 gveranis            Sierra use one postgresql database and each library has an instance of it as a scope..
21:47 MilkManzJourDaddy   So, how to use Koha as a ILS with a central database managed by Sierra?
21:47 gveranis            impossible
21:47 MilkManzJourDaddy   > They can move to Koha as seperate ILS and provide records to Enocre
21:48 gveranis            yes but only for the records
21:48 gveranis            not for loans.. patrons.. you must be informed for library policies
21:48 gveranis            Koha has ILL subsystem, Sierra has it also
21:49 gveranis            so Koha and Sierra can communicate
21:49 gveranis            for loan and maybe patrons
21:49 gveranis            but you should check policies
21:50 gveranis            Encore can harvest data by OAI-PMH for other sources.. Koha has OAI-PMH for free.. Encore not be carefull ;)
21:50 gveranis            for the price..
21:50 MilkManzJourDaddy   Ah.  So they would have to detatch from the library system/union with patrons and materials, only communicating as ILL for loans.  Not good.  Thanks.
21:51 gveranis            Also Sierra has an API
21:51 gveranis            but you need development there for a bridge
21:51 gveranis            if you have a budget ;)
21:51 gveranis            you can do iy
21:51 gveranis            *it
21:51 gveranis            the API is really good
21:53 gveranis            Koha also has an API , you can retrieve and update etc records, patrons.. and other things from API. but again read policies.. under a union catalogue policies is the main key for all libraries to be engaged
21:53 gveranis            with the union ..
21:53 * MilkManzJourDaddy is too.
21:54 MilkManzJourDaddy   Language barriers, perhaps.
21:54 gveranis            maybe
21:54 cait                where are you from MilkManzJourDaddy?
21:55 MilkManzJourDaddy   Well, surely there is restricted acccess, with passcodes" if that is what you mean by "policies".
21:57 gveranis            no I mean rules for loan , rules for patron, rules for access on collections etc.. policy is how a library is working under this union
21:58 MilkManzJourDaddy   I am a traveller, but try to leave a place in the same, or better state than when I arrived, including libraries.  Proprietary software is unacceptable.
22:00 MilkManzJourDaddy   gveranis: Ah, so Koha could work if the policies matched?  But member libraries have their own rules, i.e. length of loan and number of renewals.
22:01 gveranis            it depends how you connect Koha , policies , Sierra
22:01 gveranis            you need to study them
22:01 gveranis            The options are 1. Koha - ILL - Sierra
22:01 gveranis            2. Koha - Vufind - Sierra - Encore
22:01 gveranis            3. Koha - API - Sierra
22:02 gveranis            and each solution depends on budget
22:02 MilkManzJourDaddy   Well, I'll have a look at Vufind, and try to get them on an app' on F-Droid for patrons accessing the catalogue.  I hate that Sierra uses the GET method!!!
22:03 MilkManzJourDaddy   Thanks.
22:03 gveranis            ok Vufind is only for OPAC
22:03 * MilkManzJourDaddy goes "AFK".
22:07 tcohen              if someone had a budget to improve Koha's API faster… :-D
22:07 cait                gveranis++
22:19 gveranis            cait something to ask again for matching rules.
22:21 gveranis            I have set as match point the 001 as you told me and I try to use Match checks also. I want to check if 001 is the same as 942$x for the records I want to update I know is the same
22:21 gveranis            but with Matchpoint i have 100% success , with and match check I have 0% success
22:22 gveranis            Match Check , incoming 001 and target ( database ) record check field 942$x
22:23 gveranis            I try only to use match check but without success also
22:27 cait                sorry, about to fall asleep
22:27 cait                let me look up something
22:27 gveranis            ok
22:28 cait                i was looking for a blog post from bywater on it, but he link is broken
22:29 gveranis            offset and length for match check should be filled ?
22:30 cait                i would only fill that for control fields
22:30 cait                wher you need to check for a certain position
22:30 gveranis            could you please send me the link ? maybe I can find it on archivewww
