-====== EDI Install/Configuration ======
-**This is a DRAFT document that will be revised as exploration continues.**
-===== Install EDI Translator =====
-For Indiana and Bibliomation, we've chosen to run this on our "utility" server as that server is where we also run processes like action/triggers (A/T), notices, etc.
-One may start with a fresh checkout of "rel_2_0" branch from the community Git (http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=Evergreen.git;a=tree;h=refs/heads/rel_2_0;hb=rel_2_0) as that's the version we're currently running.  If you need help with checking out the latest version of the code, please see http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=dev:git.  Alternatively, the necessary files can be found in the latest tar.gz file of Evergreen releases.
-  - As the opensrf user, copy the EDI Translator code found in Open-ILS/src/edi_translator to somewhere accessible (for example, /openils/var/edi):<code bash>
-cp -r Open-ILS/src/edi_translator /openils/var/edi
-</code>
-  - Navigate to where you have saved the code to begin next step.<code bash>
-cd /openils/var/edi
-</code>
-  - Next, as the root user (or a user with sudo rights) we need to install the dependencies, via "install.sh".  This will perform some apt-get routines to install the code needed for the EDI translator to function.  **Note: subversion must be installed first.**  (Suggestion -- install.sh should probably be doing an apt-get update first too?):<code bash>
-./install.sh
-</code>
-  - Now, we're ready to start "edi_webrick.bash" which is the script that calls the "Ruby" code to translate EDI.  Note: This script needs to be started in order for EDI to function so please take appropriate measures to ensure this starts following reboots/upgrades/etc.<code bash>
-./edi_webrick.bash
-</code>
-Using the command "ps aux | grep edi" should show you something similar if the script is running properly:
-<code bash>
-root 	30349  0.8  0.1  52620 10824 pts/0	S	13:04   0:00 ruby ./edi_webrick.rb
-</code>
-To shutdown EDI Translator you can use something like pkill (assuming no other ruby processes are running):
-<code bash>
-kill -INT $(pgrep ruby)
-</code>
-The EDI Translator runs on localhost and listens on port 9191 by default.  This is controlled via the edi_webrick.cnf file located in the edi_translator directory.  It should not be necessary to change this so long as the EDI Translator is running on the same machine as where A/Ts are generated.
-===== EDI Scripts =====
-==== edi_pusher.pl ====
-As opensrf, copy edi_fetcher.pl and edi_pusher.pl from Open-ILS/src/support-scripts into /openils/bin
-edi_pusher.pl is the script that will actually send and receive information between Evergreen and the … client?  ordering agency?
-Run edi_pusher.pl script regularly to push EDI messages out.  This is best configured as a cronjob... for example, this command will run edi_pusher.pl 10 minutes past the hour, every hour:
-<code bash>
-* * * * cd /openils/bin && /usr/bin/perl ./edi_pusher.pl > /dev/null
-</code>
-==== edi_fetcher.pl ====
-Also run, the edi_fetcher.pl script to pull in new incoming files for EDI accounts:
-<code bash>
-1 * * * cd /openils/bin && /usr/bin/perl ./edi_fetcher.pl > /dev/null
-</code>
-We’re only running it once every night at 1 am while we test the edi_fetcher components.  Perhaps this needs to run more regularly depending on the response time of the vendors.

-===== Configuring Organizational Unit SAN code =====
-As of Evergreen 2.0.7, there was no interface to configure this.  This [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/817677|bug ticket]] shows that the issue will be resolved with the 2.0.8 release and beyond.  For now, you must manually set the actor.org_unit.san row for each org unit’s mailing address entry.  This is a REQUIRED field to properly envelope the JEDI message for the provider.
-===== Some Troubleshooting Notes =====
-If running edi_pusher.pl manually, you should see something like this when there are no POs that are awaiting translation:
-<code>
-opensrf@server:/openils/bin$ ./edi_pusher.pl
-FTP_PASSIVE is OFF
-Hook 'acqpo.activated' is used in 1 event definition(s):
-- 'PO JEDI'
-Event definition 23 has 0 (completed) event(s)
-done
-opensrf@server:/openils/bin$
-</code>
-There may be errors generated that require troubleshooting.  For example, an error like this:
-<code>
-ERROR: attempt_translation failed for event 573913, PO 132, template_output 207516
-</code>
-This means you should check the data field from action_trigger.event_output with an ID of 207516.  There must be something wrong with the data contained within.  Potential problem source may be bad character strings or line breaks in the PO generation itself.  See bug ticket where title with quotes fails to properly translate.
-Check this [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/801961|bug ticket]] (fixed in 2.0.9+), if you see this error:
-<code>
-Can't locate object method "is_dir" via package "Net::FTP" at /openils/lib/perl5/OpenILS/Utils/RemoteAccount.pm line 614.
-</code>
