Description Kyle M Hall (khall) 2017-01-20 14:37:26 UTC
If a library does not use --mark-returned when running longoverdue.pl, all those lost item checkouts are selected by overdue_notices.pl. This causes much unnecessary overhead. In addition Koha::Calendar is instantiated many times for each branchcode which is not necessary.

Kyle, could you move the "$calendar" fix to its own bug?
That sounds like a major bug as well.

Comment 6 Martin Renvoize (ashimema) 2017-05-01 18:37:29 UTC
OK, So in an ideal world I'd like to have seen these as separate bugs, but as it's still a fairly trivial change and the Koha::Calendar instantiation bug is fixed in the exact same way as I was intending on bug 18509 then I'm happy to sign off as a whole.

Tested, but not definitively benchmarked to prove the improvement. It 'feels' more performant on the tests I ran.

I do not understand my own comment. It does not sound a major bug, just a speed improvement.
It would have been good to have it on its own bug anyway :)

Pushed to master for 17.05!
Comment 10 Katrin Fischer 2017-05-13 12:47:02 UTC
I am not clear on this one - did we calculate fines on lost items before this patch?
Comment 11 Martin Renvoize (ashimema) 2017-05-13 14:45:29 UTC
To clarify, this patch adds two performance enhancements in one patch.

a) It prevents re-instantiation of Koha::Calendar objects inside the loop (no functionality change here)
b) It enhances the SQL query to skip all lost items during overdue calculation. (this is a change of logic, but I don't think it's a change of functionality)
Comment 12 Martin Renvoize (ashimema) 2017-05-13 14:50:07 UTC
Hmm, on second read.. it is a change of functionality in so much as listitems were not skipped before. In all my own test cases we have overdue rules set at times long before itemlost marking rules.. so you would never see the change..  I imagine that is the usual case.. hmm..
Comment 13 Katrin Fischer 2017-05-13 22:07:46 UTC
Yeah, I am mostly worried about pushing a behaviour change to the stable release. We don't use the longoverdues script atm, but I know libraries are manually setting the lost status when an item is reported lost.

This is terrible, I should have caught that.
