Okay, the log does track all checkouts and ins, but the warning isn't exactly
clear - we need to say that it's a size issue - and not a performance issue:




[09:29]  <sekjal> nengard:  I believe it's been incorrect since 3.4 was
released, and items were removed from the biblio.
[09:29]  <tcohen> jcamins: AddIssue calls ModItem which happens to do some
logging
[09:29]  <jcamins> nengard: I stand corrected.
[09:30]  <nengard> so it is incorrect now
[09:30]  <nengard> but wasn't before
[09:30]  <jcamins> tcohen: does it actually log anything? 3.6, it seems to me,
is not logging issues in the cataloguing log.
[09:31]  <jwagner> jcamins, you forgot biblioitems from your truncate list. 
Also need to check for any issues or reserves.
[09:32]  <tcohen> jcamins, i might be wrong, but I just checked that AddIssue
calls ModItem
[09:32]  <tcohen> which happens to have :
[09:32]  <tcohen> logaction("CATALOGUING", "MODIFY", $itemnumber,
Dumper($item)) if C4::Context->preference("CataloguingLog");
[09:32]  <tcohen> inside
[09:32]  <tcohen> i think it is not a problem any more, thou
[09:33]  <tcohen> because we don't do a ModBiblio, which was reallly expensive
[09:33]  <jcamins> jwagner: thanks.
[09:33]  <jcamins> nengard: the warning may still be correct, then.
[09:33]  <jcamins> nengard: I've never noticed any particular performance
issues, though.
[09:33]  <tcohen> (because we log the whole marc there)
[09:39]  <nengard> yes, i just tested and when i checked an item out it added
two lines to the cataloging log
[09:39]  <nengard> but does it actually slow things down?
[09:40]  <sekjal> nengard:  I don't think it's so much an issue of slowing down
transactions, as storing TONS of data
[09:40]  <sekjal> so accessing the log table becomes slow
[09:40]  <sekjal> but I don't believe it would affect circ transactions or
normal response time
[09:40]  <nengard> libraries might be okay with that - whereas they won't be
okay with things slowing down checkouts and such
[09:40]  <tcohen> nengard, prior to removing items from marc/marcxml every time
an item was borrowed
[09:41]  <tcohen> the biblio itself was modified
[09:41]  <tcohen> (the marc/marcxml stuff)
[09:41]  <tcohen> and the change was then logged
[09:41]  <nengard> it's nice to see that i just had to report a bug to get an
answer to my question - like i said i've been asking about this for the manual
for 4 years now
[09:41]  <tcohen> that was an expensive task, as the marc itself is saved in
the log
