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. Nicole
