Why are requests in OPAC not blocked by global delinquencies?
- Article Type: General
- Product: Aleph
- Product Version: 20
Problem Symptoms:
* A patron with a global delinquency is able to place a hold request in OPAC. This action should be blocked by a global delinquency
* table ./xxx50/tab/tab_delinq.lng contains blanks in col. 4
* table ./xxx50/tab/tab_check_circ has check 1_a to check for global delinquencies in all instances
Cause:
Functionality not available in Aleph 20
Resolution:
* In Aleph 20 it is not possible to check for global delinquencies when creating requests in OPAC
* In Aleph 21 the check check_hold_request_1_a (for global delinquencies) in table ./xxx50/tab/tab_hold_request was added
