OCLC is experiencing a timeout issue with the Next Generation Melvyl
Pilot supported by WorldCat Local (WCL) that is impacting all sites.
When availability information is not retrieved, rather than timing out
after 45 seconds and providing the user a standard message, WCL keeps
waiting for availability information.  This bug was inadvertently
introduced during this weekend's install of new workflow options.

 

Note: This only impacts records for which WCL could not find
availability.  If availability information is found, WCL works as
designed.

 

An out-of-cycle install to fix this issue will go in Wednesday evening
(9/10/08) to correct this.  

 

Please share this information with your colleagues.
