OkapiUpgrade Okapi to latest 4.14.x version

When upgrading upgrade Okapi to the latest 4.14.x version, at least 4.14.10.

v4.14.9 has a bug that sometimes closes the HTTP connection before the response has been sent.

Versions before v4.14.8 have a Hazelcast vulnerability: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-36437

OKAPI-1155 - Getting issue details... STATUS

Data Import & Inventory

Update to the default MARC Bib-to-Inventory Instance MAP:

  • Existing mapping for 590 (Local note) updated so that 1st indicator = 0 triggers "Staff only" indication. Any other 1st indicator does not.

If you would like to review the mapping change first, go to https://github.com/folio-org/mod-source-record-manager/blob/master/mod-source-record-manager-server/src/main/resources/rules/marc_bib_rules.json and search for 590. Review that section of the rules, and then if that handling is wanted for a particular library tenant, add that section to their equivalent map.


After upgrade, library may want to review their local default MARC Bib-to-Inventory Instance map, and decide if they want to add this revised mapping into it.

Follow the instruction to update the rules.

MODSOURMAN-827 - Getting issue details... STATUS

Data ImportReminder when upgrading
 When upgrading from one flower release to the next, confirm that the deployed modules are of compatible modules and are in the same release. If incompatible modules versions, Kafka messages consumed by older versions of modules can cause problems. When entity schema changes in such a way it usually leads to an API version bump and if module that requires a specific version of the API deployed and the API is not there - it results in an error. Unfortunately, there is no such mechanism for changes in Kafka message payload - topics that are used are the same, therefore a consumer in an older module version will consume the messages.

Permissions, Tenant

Permission ui-tenant-settings.settings.enabled - display name "Settings (Tenant): View" has been made invisible

The permission is used to grant basic view to Settings > Tenant but grants no other functionality. It implies that you can use it to give view-only access to content in that area, which is not the case. Making the permission visible: false removes that confusion.

Recommend removing "Settings (Tenant): View" from any users prior to upgrading to Nolana.

You can also remove the permissions after upgrade by enabling Settings > Developer > Configuration > List invisible permissions in add perm menus and then editing the relevant user records.

Update your users' permissions and/or permission sets, as required. 

Recommend removing "Settings (Tenant): View" from any users prior to upgrading to Nolana.



UITEN-224 - Getting issue details... STATUS

Actual Cost

Actual cost will not be fully implemented for Nolana.  It is recommended that you wait until Orchid to start using actual cost. 

If you start using actual cost in Nolana, the “Lost items requiring actual cost” processing page will not be available for billing.  This means that you will need to bill actual cost via a manual fee/fine that will NOT change Item status from “Declared lost”/”Aged to lost” to “Lost and paid” when the fee is paid. 

If you started using actual cost in Nolana, when Orchid is implemented you will need to you will need to mark items as “do not bill” on the “Lost items requiring actual cost” processing page if fee was billed manually.  The "Lost item fee policy" includes a setting For lost items not charged a fee/fine, close the loan after <interval>.  Using this setting to "expire" actual cost lost items will eliminate the need for this if you set the <interval> to a smaller time period.

For details about when various actual cost functions will be available, see slide deck

Resource AccessImprovements to Settings > Calendar

The interface for adding, editing, or removing calendars from service points has significant UI improvements and has changed to a tabular UI format.  Additionally, calendars can now be assigned to multiple service points and exceptions can store multiple openings and closures.
All calendar-related permissions have changed may need to be updated.

Permissions provided by ui-calendar 7.x have been updated to more specific ones; most notably, this includes the ".all" permission.  Administrators may want to go through user's permissions and re-evaluate what is necessary with these new specific permissions.

The database schema used for mod-calendar has been overhauled, however, no special action is required.  As part of the upgrade from 1.15.0, all existing data will be transformed and preserved.  If you are not already on mod-calendar 1.15.0, we recommend upgrading to it before upgrading.  Be sure you are upgrading to the latest version 2.3.1 as previous versions would migrate certain exceptional situations incorrectly.

We recommend going through the calendars post-migration and ensuring that all exceptions transferred as expected; exceptions that were not fully contained within a calendar (for example, calendar 01-01-2022 to 12-31-2022 and exception 12-25-2022 through 01-02-2023) may result in a calendar shown as an "Orphaned exception" in the interface or, if there are multiple exceptions/calendars for a date, it may not be transferred at all.  System administrators can also search through the container logs for more information about what exceptions were associated with which calendars (which will display error messages if any exceptions were orphaned or dropped).

After the migration, institutions may desire to clean out historic calendars (this was impossible in the previous interface); this can be easily accomplished with the new purge feature.

Data export - Export authority recordsNew default job-profile for authorities was added.

 Use MARC authority app 

It requires to load reference for module.
  • Add loadReference=true to tenantParameters 

LocationsLocations and location units moved from reference data to sample data

When initially enabling mod-inventory-storage for a tenant a few locations and location units (institutions, campuses, libraries) can automatically be created. Before Nolana loadReference=true triggered this, from Nolana on loadSample=true is needed.

Adjust scripts that expects them as reference data.

SearchRouting was changed to default. All indexes should be recreated.
During the upgrade process
mod-search indices will need to recreate for both instance and authority as described

SearchWhen using AWS OpenSearch, the response returned by the bulk api is malformed which is causing errors in mod-search. The issue does not occur with local instances of OpenSearch or ElasticSearch, only instances in AWS Infrastructure. Due to this, performance gains could not be determined. When the issue is resolved by AWS, this can be revisited.

During the upgrade process before reindexing

Set environment variable INDEXING_DATA_FORMAT = json

MARC authority 

Mapping rules were changed. It's required to update default mapping rules in the database. 

Only applies to a library that has MARC authority records in Morning Glory environment

Apply after mod-source-record-manager upgrade. Please do the following actions. 

  1. Call endpoint PUT {{okapi.url}}/mapping-rules/marc-authority/restore
  2. To apply mapping rules changes to migrating authority records - run this standalone application - Marc Authorities update instructions (Recommendation to run during non-working hours) 

Fees/FinesThe buttons (e.g. Pay, Waive, Transfer) on the top of the Fees/Fines History and Fee/Fine Details pages have been replaced with an ACTIONS menu.  This has been done so that the pages match the design of the rest of FOLIO.  The functionality has not changed.

Data ImportSettings and Configuration
Refer to Settings and Configuration page for details on modules involved in Data Import. Adjust if needed to optimise performance.
NCIPSettings and ConfigurationNew optional configuration.  Default value if not set: FOLIO
  • mod-ncip will use the default value of 'FOLIO' if the setting is missing - so no action is required unless a different value is needed
  • The setting should be created in mod-configuration (along with the other mod-ncip settings).
  • The mod-configuration 'code' for the setting is: holdings.source.name
  • The holding.source.name setting will be used to lookup the UUID of the holdings source (so it should exist in settings>inventory>holdings>sources)
  • The setting UUID will be used for the sourceId on the holdings record (when the AcceptItem service creates the holdings record)
  • The configuration can be created before or after the upgrade.  (If set before - earlier versions of NCIP will ignore it)

Bulk EditAdditional environment variables to back-end module deploymentThis module uses separate storage of temporary (local) files for its work. These files are necessary for processing bulk-edit business flows. Any S3-compatible storage (AWS S3, Minio Server) supported by the Minio Client can be used as such storage. Thus, in addition to the AWS configuration of the permanent storage, one needs to configure the environment settings for temporary files storageFor mod-data-export-worker, add LOCAL environment variables discussed here: https://github.com/folio-org/mod-data-export-worker#environment-variables otherwise Bulk Edit file uploads will fail in Folio.

All

RMB-348 - Getting issue details... STATUS was implemented to split reading and writing traffics into separate database nodes. While it's working for some workflows (check in/out, MARC BIB/Authority Data import Creates and Updates), it is buggy in other workflows. These are: Acquisition, Data Export, Data Import of MARC Holdings. 

Additionally in very rare circumstances when a failover happens between the database nodes, such as when the write node fails over to the read node (the read node now becomes the new write node and vice versa), the storage modules may still cache the old addresses so they may continue to write to what is now the new read node or that the old write node has gone out of service). 

Remove DB_HOST_READER , DB_PORT_READER environment variables from mod-inventory-storage, mod-data-export, mod-source-record-manager, mod-orders-storage.



A workaround for the failover issue is to create an AWS lambda (or some process that listens for failover events) that restarts the RMB storage modules to create new connections to the new database nodes
