Hi folks, An update - thanks to a few folks, I've found out that there were some issues with process management near the end of the script, specifically between the csv_splitter.split call and the chunk of email code. For now, I decided to divide and conquer - I divided the main script into three separate files (parsing the MARC files into the big CSV file, splitting the CSV file, and emailing the notification) and created a script that calls each script in order. That seems to work for now :cP
Cheers, and thanks again for all who chimed in, Becky On Wed, Jul 1, 2015 at 8:47 AM, Becky Yoose <b.yo...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi folks, > > I'm currently working on a script that would automatically generate CSV > files for my staff to upload into Serials Solutions to update our local > holdings.
