Agenda topics: 

  • Data Import log improvements: brainstorming session
    • Is there additional info on the backend that is not surfacing in the UI?
    • Filtering by errors is helpful
    • Not all completed with errors jobs give enough information, especially if it's status Failed
    • DI will create the Instance, but no SRS created, will Complete with errors, but not have any error messages
    • Having error messages be more understandable - see Lisa's InstanceType example (seems to be related to the 008)
    • If SRS is discarded, need to have asterisk and explanation of errors
    • The summary page showing the overall results of the job has not yet been developed, and it's really hard to find the errors, especially for large jobs - counts of what succeeded and what failed
    • There are some records that cannot be loaded, and no idea why
    • Is it important to log the single record imports? Yes, everyone agrees
    • START HERE NEXT MEETING
    • Is it important to keep DI logs online forever? (Kiwi BF has 7k+, Cornell has 20K+) challenging for the View all screen, since it's trying to keep track of so much data
      • What if they were automatically purged after x days?
      • What if the log results could be exported?
  • Question: Is the 336 mapping fix backported to Juniper? No, it's available in Kiwi. If needed in Juniper, then the library or its hosting provider can adjust the library's MARC-in-Instance default map manually.
  • No meeting Weds 24 Nov 2021
  • Next meeting Weds 1 Dec 2021
