Now user balance summaries can be created in full even if some users +have a 0 balance. + +Remove the ‡biblios.net Z39.50 target from seed data +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +The Z39.50 target at z3950.biblios.net/bibliographic has not worked +for years, so its service definition is no longer provided in the +seed data for new installations of Evergreen. + +Users of existing Evergreen systems should consider removing +the Z39.50 definition for ‡biblios.net. This can be done from +Admin | Server Administration | Z39.50 Servers in the staff +client. + +Set resource limits for Clark Kent +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +Several parameters are now available for the reporter daemon process +(`clark-kent.pl`) to control resource usage. These can be used to +reduce the chances that a malformed report can cause indigestion +on a database or reports server. The new parameters, which can be +set in `opensrf.xml` or as command-line switches for `clark-kent.pl` are + +* `//reporter/setup/statement_timeout` / `--statement-timeout` + +Number of minutes to allow a report's underlying SQL query +to run before it gets cancelled. Default value is +60 minutes. If a report's query gets cancelled, the +error_text value will be set to a valid that indicates that +the allowed time was exceeded. + +* `//reporter/setup/max_rows_for_charts` / `--max-rows-for-charts` + +Number of rows permitted in the query's output before +Clark Kent refuses to attempt to draw a graph. Default +value is 1,000 rows. + +* `//reporter/setup/resultset_limit` / `--resultset-limit` + +If set, truncates the report's output to the specified +number of hits. Note that it will not be apparent +to a staff user if the report's output has been +truncated. Default value is unlimited. + +The report concurrency (i.e., the number of reports that Clark +Kent will run in parallel) can now also be controlled via +the `opensrf.xml` setting `//reporter/setup/parallel`. + +Install purge_pending_users.srfsh to /openils/bin by default +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Since purge_pending_users.srfsh is in the example crontab, it should +be installed to the Evergreen binaries directory (typically /openils/bin) +by default. + + Evergreen 2.8 Release Notes =========================== :toc: @@ -351,39 +451,6 @@ information.
