Dear Colleagues, We’ve turned up a new error… when I do a search from the user interface, I get this error Invalid data, cannot decode object (id=16037, format=marcxml, schema=MARC21) The id number changes depending on the search. The weird thing is that if logged into the –intra site, the search works normally. We’re running Koha 19.05 with all the updates in place. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Fines coming back after being paid. Calendar holidays problem?
by Raymund Delahunty 02 Aug '19

02 Aug '19

Answering my own question… Our support company PTFS Europe have cracked this one. Apparently this has been seen with other 18.11 sites. The problem is with the fines.pl script taking hours and hours to run. Seems the job gets the total number of days between the due date and now. Then it iterates through every day checking if it is a holiday and if it is, decrements the total number of days. The problem is that it is only checking a couple of days a second. We have lots of “old” fines- back to 2013 and the checking was taking ages. PTFS have advised there's a caching mechanism that the problematic part of the fines calculation should be using but wasn't. They have now enable memcached to start using the cache. This allows the fine calculation to cache a particularly expensive query, reducing the time to calculate a 7 year old fine from 53s to 4s. Apparently a line has been added to our koha-conf file to cause memcached to start using the cache. Fingers crossed that fines.pl will now run correctly overnight. Ray Delahunty.

Fines coming back after being paid. Calendar holidays problem?
by Raymund Delahunty 02 Aug '19

02 Aug '19

We are receiving reports of fines returning to user accounts the day after they have been paid, or even soon after the payment was made. Our software support company is investigating and they have noticed the fines.pl script is overrunning. They have put some logging on the crontab entry in the meantime and have suggested we clear down the "closed days" (special holidays, repeatable holidays) on our system as they suggest this may be a cause of the fines job overrunning. Apparently the fines job references the calendar as it runs, and when the number of calendar entries builds up there may be problems. The special holidays count for previous years have been removed (420 lines) leaving this year and the next two, with a total count of 350 lines. We are not yet in a situation where we can raise this in Bugzilla, but I thought I'd ask if anyone else had encountered such a problem.

Re: [Koha] Koha Not calculating and charging overdue fines
by Caroline Cyr-La-Rose 01 Aug '19

Hello! I'm not a system administrator, so I'm not sure what I do will work for you. Maybe someone else on the list can correct me if this is not the right way to do it. What I do to check my crons is go on my server and type crontab -l (dash small "L" for "list"). This gives me the list of all the crons that are running on my server. If the fines.pl script is not there, you will have to add it. So type crontab -e (dash small "E" for "edit"). On the next available line, add in your cron. This is what I use to remember the order : https://devhints.io/cron Normally, you want your fines.pl script to run once daily. We run ours during the night. So something like 0 1 * * * misc/cronjobs/fines.pl will make the script run everyday at 1 am I hope this helps Caroline On 19-08-01 04 h 53, muirunyeri wrote: > Hi Carolyne, > > I'm not sure if the fines.pl cron job is running.
