My limited understanding is that if the RealTimeHoldsQueue is enabled, then the holds queue cronjob doesn't need to be run ( https://koha-community.org/manual/latest/en/html/circulationpreferences.html...), and vice-versa I'm not sure of the advantages and disadvantages of using either the RealTimeHoldsQueue or the cronjob to build the holds queue. I guess it would depend on how often your holds queue needs updating, system resources available, and your library's workflow.

OK, I found out a difference between this and the other instances: The parameter RealTimeHoldsQueue was set to enable, whereas in the instances without the error message it was set to disable.
Should I try to disable the setting here as well to avoid the error message?

Dear list,
one, and only one of our Koha servers/instances regularly sends this message:
---------- /etc/cron.hourly/koha-common: RealTimeHoldsQueue system preference is enabled, holds queue not built. Use --force to force building the holds queue. ipp-greifswald: 1 status returned by "/usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs/holds/build_holds_queue.pl" ----------
Does this mean we have to add --force as a parameter to the relevant line in koha-common, changing
koha-foreach --chdir --enabled /usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs/holds/build_holds_queue.pl
to
koha-foreach --chdir --enabled /usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs/holds/build_holds_queue.pl --force
?
I am asking because in none of our other instances this error message comes up although they all do not have the --force parameter.
Thanks for your help in advance, and have a nice Monday! Anke
