Description Nicole C. Engard 2014-05-06 18:29:45 UTC
A system with 588793 items and 131725 patrons tried to synchronize twice in the built in offline circulation tool and it ran for over 4 hours with no end in sight.  If there is a size limit on this tool we should note it - better yet - if there is a fix that'd be awesome.

There is a size limit -- the offline interface uses HTML LocalStorage, which depend on the browser and user setting, is limited to 2.5MB or 5MB per domain.

Various options include:

- writing instructions for increasing the limit, though not all browsers will support that
- providing an option to reduce the amount of data that gets synced for large sites -- e.g., just downloading the barcodes, just downloading the list of blocked users, etc.
- speeding up the sync process

For now I have added a note to the manual stating this - but it would be great if any library could use the tool one day.

We have since removed the in-built offline circulation too, making this bug INVALID.
