<div dir="ltr"><br>Do note that the current zebraqueue_daemon script is only suitable for (relatively)<br>low-circulation libraries. This daemon process updates the zebra index<br>as soon as a record is modified in your database, but is limited to updating<br>
a single record at a time. Since the record is modified with every circ transaction <br>(so that it holds current status information), running this daemon process is not<br>possible if you are (or may be) performing more than 30 transactions/minute <br>
(on run-of-the-mill hardware).<br><br>So, unless you are a single (or few)-site, low-transaction library ( << 30 transactions/minute ),<br>the rebuild_zebra -z cron script should be run rather than the zebraqueue_daemon. Obviously, <br>
there's room to experiment here; beefing up the hardware could change things significantly, and<br>I'm throwing numbers off the top of my head, not reading from a spec sheet.<br><br>( and to be clear, a transaction is 1 checkout or return / 1 patron , not n checkouts or returns / patron ).<br>

</div>I think the zebraqueue_daemon.pl should be running to enable the<br>
records to update rightaway. It is usually started by<br>
koha-zebraqueue-ctl.sh and requires the "daemon" package to be<br>
installed on debian and ubuntu.<br>
<br>
Hope that helps,<br>
