Jonathan, I've updated bug 18651 with my (possibly incomplete) interpretation of some research that Nick has done on the root causes of this error. On Mon, May 22, 2017 at 1:39 PM, Jonathan Druart < jonathan.druart@bugs.koha-community.org> wrote:
I did not follow everything in your manipulations, but there is definitely a bug. I have opened bug 18651 to try and fix it.

Hi Nick,
Just out of interest's sake, i changed the increment value in /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Circulation.pm on line 2178 from +1 to a random number +1111.
This resulted in a successful check-in and the next old_issue_id that was generated increased by +1111.
I reverted the increment value in Circulation.pm to +1 and subsequent check-ins are (for now) processing successfully. I'm sure i shouldn't temper with those files, but it's given my client another bone to chew while I try and sort out the problem.

Hi Lennon,
The auto_increment will need to be increased and those duplicated IDs as well.
Trying to clarify the error below
The error seems to stem from a situation where there are greater issues.issue_id's than old_issues.issue_id
For a scenario: Old issues has: 1,2,3,4,5,9,10 Issues has: 6,7,8 (auto_increment 11) SERVER RESTARTED Old issues unchanged Issues has: 6,7,8 (auto_increment 9)
Actions: Issues 9, 10, 11, 12 created checkin issue 9 - found in old_issues, try increasing to 11 - but issues 11 exists - checkin fails
Talking with Jonathan and Kyle, we face another problem in that accountlines are now linked to issue_id - so altering one breaks the connection. This scenario is rare at least but must be handled.

Hi Nick,
Thanks for responding.
Try: SELECT issue_id FROM issues JOIN old_issues USING (issue_id)
Running the above produced about 91 rows of overlapping values:
mysql> SELECT issue_id FROM issues JOIN old_issues USING
(issue_id);
+----------+ | issue_id | +----------+ | 14374 | | 14424 | | 14372 | | 14369 | | 14617 | | 14391 | | 14383 | | 14381 |
and so on...
You can then alter those ids but pushing them up and bump the auto_increment for the table above the MAX(issue_id) FROM
I'll increase the auto increment and let you know if that solves the issue.
A similar problem can occur in the reserves/old_reserves tables
I checked the reserves/old_reserves tables, there no duplicate reserve_ids there.

Lennon

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:

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

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.
