Offline Client and POS Printer Server Application do not run from the Start Menu on Java versions later than Java 8u162
Later versions of Java 8 introduced a bug which will fail to launch applications from the Start Menu of your workstation.
Note: Java 9 and higher are not yet supported.
|
Identified: May 2018
Workaround: Install Java SE Runtime Environment 8u162 or earlier to run the Offline Client and POS printer application from your workstation's Start Menu. If you must run a later version of Java 8, you can still run the applications by executing the JNLP files directly (i.e. wms-offline-circulation.jnlp and wms-posprinter-server.jnlp).

Unexpected due dates for long loans if library closes earlier on the calculated date
Long loans are extended to the next open day if the library closes earlier on the due date than the time of day that the item was checked out. For example, an item checked out at 17:34 on Monday under a two-day loan will be due on Thursday if the library closes any time before 17:34 on Wednesday. Normally, the item would be due on Wednesday.
