Do note that the current zebraqueue_daemon script is only suitable for (relatively) low-circulation libraries. This daemon process updates the zebra index as soon as a record is modified in your database, but is limited to updating a single record at a time. Since the record is modified with every circ transaction (so that it holds current status information), running this daemon process is not possible if you are (or may be) performing more than 30 transactions/minute (on run-of-the-mill hardware). So, unless you are a single (or few)-site, low-transaction library ( << 30 transactions/minute ), the rebuild_zebra -z cron script should be run rather than the zebraqueue_daemon. Obviously, there's room to experiment here; beefing up the hardware could change things significantly, and I'm throwing numbers off the top of my head, not reading from a spec sheet. ( and to be clear, a transaction is 1 checkout or return / 1 patron , not n checkouts or returns / patron ). HTH Ryan On Wed, Aug 27, 2008 at 6:40 AM, MJ Ray <mjr@phonecoop.coop> wrote:

When a new item is added to the catalog it is not showing up until the rebuild_zebra.pl is run. The staff doing the cataloging would like to be able to have access to the records immediately.
1. What cron jobs or other procedures should be running, and how often should they run, to enable the records to update right away?
I think the zebraqueue_daemon.pl should be running to enable the records to update rightaway. It is usually started by koha-zebraqueue-ctl.sh and requires the "daemon" package to be installed on debian and ubuntu.
