Hourly loans due at 4:00 but library is still open

• Article Type: General
• Product: Aleph
• Product Version: 20

Description:
On Production for the ABC sub-library our hourly loan types (item status 8,9,10) when they are checked out close to the 4:00pm hour are coming due at that time. ABC however is open for 5 more hours. I've double checked open hours and exceptions for the ABC sub-library and I don't see why things are being set @ 4:00pm. None of the other sub-libraries are working that way.

Resolution:
As described in KB 150, changes to Aleph due-dates take effect only with the first circ transaction on a new day or with the recreation of the z301 table.

Also, I see that pc_server 6991 was not restarted between Aug. 26 and Sep 1 at 12:10. As described in KB 16384-32194, in addition to recreating the z301, certain tab16 changes require restart of the pc_server.

Let's see how things look this afternoon....

[Later:]

The following SQL shows that the due time is not being truncated to 4:00 pm (16:00), but is now being set to the full 2 (or 3) hours:

abc50@ALEPH20> select z36h_item_status, z36h_loan_hour, z36h_due_hour from z36h where z36h_loan_date = '20110901' and z36h_loan_hour > '1400' and z36h_item_status in ('08', '09', '10') order by z36h_loan_hour asc;
**** Hit return to continue ****
