Re-write LS-Tools

LS-Tools = A tool set at Cornell which allows technical services do library automation tasks through a common web interface.

It is essentially an ETL tool. It comprises cleanup jobs, export and import jobs. There is a specification written for each job that describes who owns it, how it is executed, what is needed, etc. The app also allows for searching of marc data with a highly granular selection capability. The app is a swiss army knife of technical services activities. It has meant a huge increase in productivity for technical services staff. Re-implementing this in Folio will be a challenge.

Some combination of the workflow engine and the marc batch loader could replace LS tools. The workflow engine is meant to be a platform to build these kinds of applications on.




Robbie / Greg and Phil will look at it

UUID-issue

https://discuss.folio.org/t/on-primary-identifiers-in-folio/1826

Functional requirements: We need human readable identifiers. Eye-readable. Can be read on the phone. It has to accept legacy IDs. New records do not have to be compatible with the legacy identifiers.

Preferred: Sequential identifiers. Sequential identifiers are related to the legacy identifiers. They leverage existing IDs by sequential numbers.

It doesn't make sense to fix it after having gone live.




We have them for the inventory app.

Jira UIIN-435




Standards / Requirements for module instrumentation. Being able to see what is going on in a given module for debugging, performance analysis.

Bootstrapping tool that
  • creates tenant
  • sets up admin user

A script. Might be consolidated into a single administrative toolkit.

Right now, there is a perl script. Need to be a pushed-button thing.






Missing Documentation and Information

Okapi documentation is outdated

No technical overview of how data flows through FOLIO, closest is the single server documentation
