Setting Up the DETopC Day End Process for Top Circulating Titles

The Day End process “Summarize Top Circulated Titles” (DETopC) manages how Horizon summarizes the statistics of top circulated titles. This Day End process reviews the statistics for closed circulation periods only. Day End summarizes a period only after Horizon determines that a new period should start (based on the parameters you set in the top_circ_control view). Day End puts summary information into the top_circ_summary table. Information Portal then queries this table for a summary of information to display.

The Horizon 7.4 upgrade delivers the DETopC Day End process as an inactive process. If you want to run it with your Day End suite, you need to add it as an option to the MDayEnd menu. In addition, the process is automatically configured to run daily. Because this process accesses the item table, it may take longer to run Day End with this process added to the suite. If you want, you can set this process to run weekly, rather than daily, by changing the process argument from “/d” to “/w” (number of the day of the week.) (For example, enter “/w5” to run the process on the fifth day of the week.) The number “0” represents Sunday.
