Important Upgrade Considerations

This section outlines all changes that require special consideration for customers in production.  Configuration changes may be needed to prevent operational interruptions.  See checklist for guidelines on how to fill this out. 

Changes and Required Actions

New Apps

Kafka Wrapper: folio-kafka-wrapper library was extracted from mod-pubsub module. It contains utilities for interaction with Kafka for data import modules.

eUsage reports: 

  • The eUsage Reports backend module (mod-eusage-reports) parses and stores relationships between COUNTER report lines and local KB title records, stores COUNTER usage statistics data, and provides report queries to generate the visualizations and downloads. By matching COUNTER data to local KB titles, eUsage Reports can display COUNTER data on the Agreement records that contain those titles.

  • The UI plug-in (ui-plug-in-eusage-reports) is a front end module that displays a matching summary on the eUsage Provider record and a reports accordion on the Agreement record.

  • eUsage reports is only useful for those who harvest COUNTER data using the eUsage app. It is recommended that libraries and hosting providers who are not using eUsage omit mod-eusage-reports and ui-plug-in-eusage-reports from their environments.

  • Only applies to libraries that are not using EBSCO KB. 

INN-Reach:

  • INN-Reach back-end module (mod-inn-reach) provides business logic to handle record contribution and circulation interactions with an INN-Reach D2IR central server to enable participation in an INN-Reach resource sharing consortium and their relationship with FOLIO inventory, users, and circulation systems.

  • INN-Reach edge module (edge-inn-reach) provides API endpoints and required authentication functionality to INN-Reach central servers to communicate with FOLIO

  • INN-Reach UI module (ui-inn-reach) provides settings and staff user interfaces for managing the central server configuration, record contribution, circulation settings, transaction management, and INN-Reach specific circulation functionality.

  • App only applies to libraries that have an INN-Reach subscription.

LDP:

  • The LDP app is a query builder that makes some Library Data Platform reporting functions available in FOLIO without having to install a separate database client.  It enables basic querying of many FOLIO data sets as well as querying of helper tables ("derived tables") created by the Reporting SIG community to simplify reporting.

  • It consists of a user interface, ui-ldp (https://github.com/folio-org/ui-ldp), and a backend module, mod-ldp (https://github.com/folio-org/mod-ldp). 

  • The ui-ldp module executes queries by calling the mod-ldp API, which mediates access to the analytical database maintained by LDP.
