    Description

    We are trying to gather stats on how many ILLs are cancelled due to the item being available online. 

    In this scenario we send out letter ill-patron-letter-e-00 

     

    Resolution

    All ILL action logs are stored in the Oracle table z415 of your ILL library (xxx40). The available actions are depending on the configuration of ./xxx40/tab/tab46.lng.

    Printing a letter to the patron (such as patron letter ill-patron-letter-e-00.xsl) can be identified as transaction '06 Letter was Sent to the Patron' 

    Example of such a transaction 

    01 z415 \ 
    02 z415_rec_key \ 
    03 trans_number ......000116040 
    02 z415_rec_key_2 \ 
    03 doc_number ........000000568 
    03 sequence ..........000000000000006 
    02 z415_user_name ......MASTER 
    02 z415_open_date ......20180119 
    02 z415_open_hour ......1608 
    02 z415_open_second ....0889 
    02 z415_action_date ....00000000 
    02 z415_trans_type .....OUT 
    02 z415_trans ..........06 
    02 z415_alpha ..........L 
    02 z415_text ...........Letter was Sent to the Patron 
    02 z415_data ...........Patron letter : Online available - <> - sent to 
    02 z415_triggered ......Y 
    02 z415_partner_code ... 
    02 z415_ill_unit .......ILL_LAW 

     

    The corresponding entry in .\xxx40\tab\pc_tab_exp_field.lng reads like this in the example: 

    ILL-BOR-PRINT L Online available e 

    You should be able to identify all transactions of type '06' with text 'Online available' in z415_data field using SQL query.
