Testing the New iBorrow Build
It is Saturday evening, and so far the new build looks good. Very, very good. It has been well behaved in all the tests I’ve done so far, and the new features just add to the good feeling. Like having the vinyl in your car replaced by hand sewn leather.
The neatest trick is being able to go into the Incoming Loan work space in the client, find a request there with an ISBN, right click and ‘process’ it, and have it show up in Fill Loan. With a hold placed in the local system.
I used this a lot on Friday evening, because both Hillsborough County and Sunline have been ‘resistant’ to iBorrow requests for the past week. Both issues were resolved Friday afternoon, just before the new build was loaded, so there were LOTS of requests hanging around, eager for a chance to create a real Hold.
It also runs nicely with Java 1.6.
We’ll keep testing and keep you informed.
