Development update: 

  • Kiwi planning - dashboard where you can see the current scope and status of Data Import work for Kiwi
    • Main work is related to replacing the automated unit tests for UI stories (migrating from BigTest to React/Jest), adding automated tests for the Data Import APIs, and adding automated end-to-end UI tests
    • Continue work on bugfixes (e.g. field protections)
    • Still trying to identify what work may be needed to support Inventory's Optimistic Locking implementation

    • Less common matches
    • Homework: review the match options for Instances, Holdings, Items; add others that are common: Match profiles: Most commonly used add comments
  • Adding hotlinks to Import log - discuss next week
  • Need to return to the scenarios for last week of trying to match 
    • Another reason for doing a match after an action - marc mod to add an 003, then match, then take further actions
    • For field protections - be able to use the qualifier to determine if the field is protected

To do's

  • Finish follow-up from 4 Aug 2021 DI mtg (A-M)
  • Confirm Rancher environment for Data Import/quickMARC testing (Khalilah and Ann-Marie) - IN PROCESS
  • Data Import FAQ updates (Ann-Marie) - IN PROCESS
  • Make videos confirming the following scenarios
    • For import profiles that match on Holdings or Item IDs (and doesn't need to affect the Instance), make a video showing what happens to SRS MARC (Ann-Marie)
    • For a brief MARC updating the suppress status on a group of instances. What happens with the SRS MARC (A-M)
  • Talk with Kimie and see if ideas for updating the UI for implicit (A-M)
  • If a profile has update instance (to update cat date) which has an implicit update MARC, and also an update MARC (with implicit update instance) that has field protections, will the field protections be honored by the update instance? (A-M to check with devs)
  • Most important part is 1) making sure this is clearly documented, and 2) preferably, consistent, and 3) preferably, that implicit actions are acknowledged somehow in the import profile (A-M confirm with devs and document)
    1. QM edit: increments
    2. Import MARC Modify: increments, we think
    3. Import MARC Update: does not increment
    4. Import Instance Update (implicit MARC update): increments
