A scheduled task may be commissioned to automatically renew loans. The automatic renewal process will renew titles that could be renewed at the OPAC; the same constraints that apply to OPAC renewal will apply to automatic renewal (e.g. loans that have reached their Maximum renewals per Loan policy will not be automatically renewed).

Command line arguments to be specified by the library are:

• Days until loan due - The point at which a loan will be automatically renewed (e.g. 3 days before the loan due date). This value cannot be less than zero.
• Renewal location - The Location record that will be used to renew the loan
• Renewal type (optional) - Renewal type code (from the RWT table in Table Manager)
• Loan filter (optional) - A Boolean query to identify loans appropriate for automatic renewal
• Loan exclusion filter (optional) - A Boolean query to identify loans to exclude from automatic renewal
• Auto Renewal Update slip (optional) - Include this argument to notify borrowers of renewed loans (and optionally current loans)

The default criteria for loans that qualify for automatic renewal is:

• Loans that are incomplete
• Loans that are not minute loans
• Loans that are not eResources
• Loans that are not
  • Claimed Returned,
  • Claimed Never Borrowed,
  • Reported Lost, or
  • Lost
