https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=25098 Bug ID: 25098 Summary: automatic item modification needs report function Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Command-line Utilities Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: joy@bywatersolutions.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: robin@catalyst.net.nz The automatic item modification cronjob does not have an option for reporting the items that were modified. Can the cronjob log in action_logs, or as a report that's emailed, or into a logfile that can be downloaded? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=25098 --- Comment #1 from Donna <bwsdonna@gmail.com> --- With the way I see libraries using automatic item modifications, a report that is emailed would be preferred. Typically they are using this function to move things from "New" to regular shelves, and need a list of items to physically take off the New shelf. So an emailed report with call number, title, and barcode would be very helpful. We get a LOT of requests for this! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=25098 --- Comment #2 from Andrew Fuerste-Henry <andrew@bywatersolutions.com> --- Other crons generate a log file, so I'd stick with that standard. One could then set something up on the server to email a copy of that log file. I've poked a this a bit a little already, so I've assigned this bug to myself. But I'm unlikely to get it done really quickly, so I might not be a great option if there's urgency here. I'm thinking something similar to items.content would be nice -- a set list of fields that are provided per updated item with the ability to customize that field list if desired. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=25098 --- Comment #3 from Andrew Fuerste-Henry <andrew@bywatersolutions.com> --- Also, I should add, this cron already has a log option, it's just not very helpful. It gives an itemnumber and the new value of the edited field. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=25098 --- Comment #5 from Andrew Fuerste-Henry <andrew@bywatersolutions.com> --- Changes made by the cron are recorded in the action log, flagged as performed by user 0 via interface cron. One could write a report to list those and schedule it to email to the library. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=25098 --- Comment #6 from Andrew Fuerste-Henry <andrew@bywatersolutions.com> --- However, see bug 20101 -- the cron log doesn't record that the cron was run. This is really a separate issue, but came up in conversation about this. Looks like Kyle had a patch for that bug nearly complete? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=25098 --- Comment #8 from Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer@bsz-bw.de> --- I suppose this should be logged as interface cron and item modification in the action logs. I haven't tested, but if that was the case, I think we could mark this closed? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.

I suppose this should be logged as interface cron and item modification in the action logs. I haven't tested, but if that was the case, I think we could mark this closed?
The cataloguing log clearly records when items are edited by the cron. Those modifications show interface=cron and script=automatic_item_modification_by_age.pl and they have a diff of specifically what's been changed. So this data absolutely exists, is accessible, and can be delivered automatically using runreport.pl. It would still be helpful if the cron contained a simple default email option to send a list of modified records to someone. There's value in putting all the desired functionality clearly in the same place. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.
