Description:
We recently moved to a multiple ADM environment in Aleph 20. We have found that, unfortunately, a system generated patron block in one ADM (for example, excessive fines) does not generate a block on a patron's account in the other ADM.

Have other institutions found a way for local system generated blocks to block globally?

Resolution:
[From Mike Barnett, ODIN consortia North Dakota:]

There is a circ service p_cir_77 that will propagate local blocks to global blocks and clear global blocks when the local block is removed. It also syncronizes expiration dates among the various adms as well as manages record deletes.
