[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Failure in periodic indexer worker thread

Hi Patrick,

This is a bit confusing because there are currently two container tables: ‘container’ and ‘top_container’.

‘container’ is the old container table - ie from before the container management plugin was merged in.
‘top_container’ is the new container table - ie it was introduced as part of the container management merge.

The ‘container’ table should really have been dropped when the container management plugin was merged in, but that can’t be done yet because a bunch of code still depends on it, and there’s some cunning mapping that goes on between the two tables behind the scenes. It is on our list of priorities for the next major release (currently scheduled for June) to resolve this and a few other issues surrounding the container management merge.

So, to your question about barcodes:
container.barcode does not have a unique constraint.
top_container.barcode must be unique within a repository.

In the old container model, container records are nested sub-records, so many container records might refer to the same physical box. This means that is was not possible to have barcodes be unique. In the new container management model a top_container record represents a physical box, so it is possible to enforce unique barcodes in the database.

Hope that helps.


Cheers,
James

( I expect the intention is for them to be globally unique, but I’m not sure if they actually check beyond the current resource.  ) I’m not sure, but I don’t think a barcode is required, so another option may be to just delete those barcodes. Or, as I initially suggested, append “box 1”, “box 2” , etc. to your existing barcodes to make them unique.

Barcodes must be unique. A collection name  is not likely to be unique if there are more than one containers. Typically, these are machine scannable barcode numbers.  If you really want to use the collection name here, you could maybe append the box numbers to the ends of both, making them unique.
