    Description:
    How can we know whether any self registrations to MetaLib were performed by the end users?
    Is there some notifying mechanism or should the library perform a manual check?

    Resolution:
    Currently, the library is not notified when a user has performed a self registration. It is possible to check manually if there were any self registrations to MetaLib.
    There are two MetaLib log files that can be checked - www_server_m_XXXX.log (where XXXX stand for the port number) and pds_server.log

    grep selfreg $LOGDIR/www_server_m_4338.log

    Each URL including parameter “&selfreg=Y” indicates a self registration. The time stamp of the action appears some lines above the line including the "&selfreg=Y" and the user ID appears some lines after such line.

    grep selfreg $LOGDIR/pds_server.log

    In the PDS log file, the time stamp and the user ID appears on the same line with the URL “&selfreg=Y” parameter. However, grep will display each self registrated user more than once as the “&selfreg=Y” parameter is written to the PDS log file more than once.
    PDS debug mode should be set to “Y” to enable this grep in the PDS log file.
