Fwd: Re: [Koha-devel] Koha 3.22.21 release
by Bob Birchall 22 May '17

22 May '17

Whilst I know very well that its just a change of numbering, nonetheless I had a little twinge to read of the demise of Koha 3.x. Irma had just a handful of clients on Koha 2.9, which was pretty neat eh, but I remember the first time she showed me Koha 3.0. I couldn't believe the difference, and how smart it looked. And all those extra features. And then over the years it just got better and better. So congratulations and thank you to all the librarians, the developers, the translators, the writers of documentation, the Release Managers and the Release Maintainers who made Koha 3.x the best ILS around in its time. And particular congratulations to Julian who kept 3.22 going through 21 maintenance releases. Awesome! So now we have 16.11 and in a few days we'll have 17.05. What an incredible project. Congratulations to every contributor and every user wherever you are. Ma tini ma mano ka rapa te whai.

Items Not Being Cleared From Patron Account After Check-In
by Lennon Mazonde 22 May '17

22 May '17

Hi Everyone, I'm running Koha 16.11.07, installed via packages, on Ubuntu 14.04. Recently, one of my clients started having circulation problems with their Koha system. Items that have been checked in are still appearing in the patron's account. This has been happening randomly to different patrons at different times using different items. There is no consistent traceable pattern, and there are no errors showing client-side. When i checked the Koha intranet logs, the following errors came up: [Mon May 22 07:04:15.958812 2017] [cgi:error] [pid 6424] [client 154.120.230.62:27062] AH01215: [Mon May 22 07:04:15 2017] returns.pl: DBD::mysql::db do failed: Duplicate entry '14846' for key 'PRIMARY' [for Statement "UPDATE issues SET issue_id = ?

SQL that returns multiple rows is DEPRECATED for ->find and ->single at /usr/share/koha/lib/Koha/Objects.pm line 83, referer: http://aby.com/cgi-bin/koha/circ/circulation.pl From the little that i understand, the duplicate entry is occurring because that table has reached the upper limit of the auto-increment field (see the first comment in this thread). Therefore, when a new record is inserted into the table, instead of generating a unique value, it is producing a duplicate key entry. What i think this then does on the client side is that when an item is checked in, instead of a new unique value being created for that particular transaction in the issue/old_issue fields, a duplicate value is generated and assigned to that check-in. The system then thinks that the item has already been checked in, since the supposedly unique value has been generated. The item will then continue showing in the patron's account, even though it's been checked in. Am i correct in my assessment of what is happening? I opened the module that was generating that error sudo nano -Bu +2179 /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Circulation.pm The lines of code in the section around line 2179 deal with two tables in particular, issues and old_issues; # FIXME Improve the return value and handle it from callers $schema->txn_do(sub { $dbh->do( $query, undef, @bind ); my $id_already_exists = $dbh->selectrow_array( q|SELECT COUNT(*) FROM old_issues WHERE issue_id = ?|, undef, $issue_id ); if ( $id_already_exists ) { my $new_issue_id = $dbh->selectrow_array(q|SELECT MAX(issue_id)+1 FROM old_issues|); $dbh->do( q|UPDATE issues SET issue_id = ? WHERE issue_id = ?|, undef, $new_issue_id, $issue_id ); $issue_id = $new_issue_id; } $dbh->do(q|INSERT INTO old_issues SELECT * FROM issues WHERE issue_id = ?|, undef, $issue_id); I assumed the problems with the duplicate keys are emanating from these two tables. I tried increasing the index field of the column "issue_id" in both the old_issues and issues tables from INT to BIGINT (in the hopes of increasing the maximum limit of unique keys being generated) by doing the following in MySQL: mysql> use koha; mysql> describe old_issues; mysql> ALTER TABLE old_issues MODIFY issue_id BIGINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT; mysql> describe issues; mysql> ALTER TABLE issues MODIFY issue_id BIGINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT; However, the problem is still occurring. Can anyone help with an explanation of what is happening and why, and how i can fix it? For now, i'm just going to reinstall my client's database, but i don't think that's going to be a permanent fix since the problem is likely to recur. Regards, Lennon Mazonde

Process to file bug
by vinod mishra 21 May '17

21 May '17

Dear all, While working on koha i found 3/4 bugs in already available options i.e. it was not working properly hence i immediately posted on bug to make aware the developers and users too. Unfortunately i have been told by one of the good developer that i am spaming ! So could you please let me know what to do if a user found many bugs? I feel every person is having limitation of time and technical capacity. Testing koha functionality and making it popular is another good contribution which can be done by library professionals easily.
