    p_cir_78 removes Open and closed transactions

    • Article Type: General
    • Product: Aleph
    • Product Version: 20, 21, 22, 23

    Description:
    p_cir_78 (cir-78) appears to be removing ALL log events older than the input date of January 1, 2010, not just the closed ones.

    For example, borrower 0000001945 has some books (for example, 001123283-000020) that were checked out as long ago as 2000 and has been consistently renewing them for many years without returning them, but there is no Circulation Log activity in her account prior to 01/01/2010.

    Resolution:
    Though there are no z309's for patron 0000001945 / item 001123283-000020 from before 2010, there *are* z309's for patron "SCR20110913" for this loan:

    abc50@ALEPH20> select z309_action, Z309_REC_KEY, Z309_REC_KEY_3, Z309_DATE_X from z309 where z309_rec_key_2 = '001888939' and z309_date_x < '20100101' order by z309_date_x ASC;
    **** Hit return to continue ****

    Z309_ACTION Z309_REC_KEY Z309_REC_KEY_3 Z309_DATE_X

    (The z309_rec_key_2 is the unique loan number which is given to every loan.)

    Thus, the problem is that, though the z309's still exist, the p_cir_32 scrubbing job has changed the patron record number to "SCR...".

    The solution is to not run p_cir_32 on the z309; just run cir-78. See also KB 16384-18434.
