Question

What updates cause the z30_update_date to change?

Answer

The following result in update of the z30_update_date:

1) updates made via the GUI client Update-item function;
2) updates by the manage-62 (Update item records)
3) updates to z30_item_process_status via tab42; and
4) restore of the pre-reserve item by the course-03 (Remove items from reserves collection) job.

Additional Information

Other updates, such as update of the

Z30-DATE-LAST-RETURN,
Z30-HOUR-LAST-RETURN,
Z30-IP-LAST-RETURN, and
Z30-NO-LOANS,

do *not* affect the Z30-UPDATE-DATE -- though they can cause a z30h record to be written. See KB 5845 ("Unnecessary z30h history records").

Adding other updates will require an enhancement suggestion for changing the program.
