    Negative current short loan counters preventing deletion of patron records

    • Article Type: General
    • Product: Voyager
    • Product Version: 8.1.1

    Description:
    Bug Report Form for Issue 16384-15953
    Module(s): Circulation, circjob
    Server platform(s) affected: Solaris

    Expected results:
    Short loan counters should not be negative numbers.

    Actual results:
    Customer sites have a recurring problem where the CURRENT_SHORT_LOANS counter has negative values.

    Workflow implications: Patrons with negative counters cannot be deleted.

    Replication steps:
    In the customer database, run the following query:
    select patron_id, current_short_loans, unclaimed_short_loans from patron where current_short_loans < 0;

    Other information: Support cannot replicate this behavior, but it continually happens at the customer site where this is reported.

    Resolution:
    Fixed in Voyager 8.1.1, due out Q1 2012.
