--- Comment #21 from Ray Delahunty <r.delahunty at arts.ac.uk> ---
Almost 3 years after going live with auto-renewals, including our workaround to
deal with this bug we have this very day found that the RenewalPeriodBase was
set wrongly (left set the "current date", which was sensible for a manual
renewal environment, but is I think NOT sensible for an auto-renewal one). This
variable has had an impact on renewal timings and renewal outcomes. Our
calendar has Sa/Su as closed days, items being 7 day loans, the No Renewal
Before set to 1, and  auto-renewal running at 10pm Mo-Su. These variables
coupled with the wrong RenewalBasePeriod has seen the loan period on renewal
drop a day, until the Monday is reached and then the Sunday closure is seen and
items renew every Monday for 7 days from then on. So many variables interact
with auto-renewal functionality it is challenging to get then all "right". We
are about to look at 18.11 to see how many bug fixes have made it there, up
from our 17.05 version. But if unexpected timing puzzles are happening, it
might be worthwhile checking the RenewalBasePeriod setting to see if it is set
correctly.
