Description:
We are testing the SIP2 server in Aleph v16.2
Our vendor has informed us that the problem their system has with denied loans is that a mandatory field is missing from the checkout response - the AH due date (some logic in it - no checkout, no due date, but the protocol does states that AH be sent, and their system is looking for it).
This is showing in our log - for a denied loan:
<ACS response>
<command>12</command>
<header>0NNY20050526 132443</header>
<AO>LibName</AO>

<AJ>Children of Mu / by James Churchward.</AJ>
<AF>Apply to circulation desk - Loan not allowed.</AF>
<AG>Apply to circulation desk - Loan not allowed.</AG>
</ACS response>

Compared with an allowed loan:

<AH>June 09 2005 11:59 PM</AH>
<AF>Loan performed.</AF>
<AG>Loan performed.</AG>
</ACS response>

Resolution:
The site had the vendor (IDS) change it on their side, so the AH was not required.
