Question

What does "Failed to apply bib heading change to heading_change_id: xxx for rec_id: xxxx" mean?

Answer

This message may appear in /m1/voyager/xxxdb/rpt/catjob.log if a bib record affected by a marked global heading change is deleted after Catjob 12 is run, and then Catjob 13 is run.

Additional Information

Replication Steps
1. Change an authority record
2. Run Catjob 11
3. Mark the change in GHC
4. Run Catjob 12
5. Delete one of the bibs linked to the changed authority record
6. Run Catjob 13

*This produces an error in catjob.log like:
Jun 24 15:19:10 2013 Failed to apply bib heading change to heading_change_id: 126 for rec_id: 28498
*The BibID of the deleted record is the rec_id in the message.
