BURSAR: Sometimes patron fine/fee do not update

Symptoms

Sometimes Bursar Transfer writes all fine/fee transactions to SIF file but only updates some Voyager tables; fines/fees are then transferred a second time when the bursar job runs again, creating duplicates in bursar system

Defect Status

Issue 16384-19345/VYG-4545 is resolved for Voyager 9.1.1 and higher.

Replication Steps

• Run Bursar Transfer: /m1/voyager/xxxdb/sbin/Pbursar -c/m1/voyager/xxxdb/sbin/bursar.cfg -p
  • (-p run in patron mode -- transfer patron totals)
  • Contents of bursar.cfg:

[CIRC LOCATIONS]
ALL
[PATRON GROUPS]
<valid patron group code>
<valid patron group code>

Most times, this completes and transfers patron fines without issue.

When issue occurs, job writes patron fines/fees to SIF but doesn't update database to reflect transfer. Patron fine/fee totals are written to SIF again the following day, resulting in duplicate fine/fee transfers.
