Currently, full MARC records provided by GOBI are sent to an FTP server, and the library must manually pick up the file and load it through a data import profile. The records should be sent directly to the Data Import API and run automatically. Proposed solution/stories |

Hey Dennis Bridges , should this feature be assigned Tjet? |

Khalilah Gambrell I think Ann-Marie Breaux may be able to clarify whether this has allredy been considered or not. If so, perhaps we would consider this a duplicate. If not we could assign it to Thunderjet and I will work on collecting some additional detail. |

MARC records and the Order API don't mix. The MARC records that libraries are picking up from GOBI may be intended to:
It all depends on what stage of the order/purchase workflow the file is being generated, and what is or is not already in FOLIO. All of those above flows would require different Import job profiles. And currently the Order creation API is not set up to work with MARC Data, only XML data. What would be helpful in the short term is being able to automate ftp pickup, assign a job profile, and run the import automatically. That cannot be done in FOLIO currently, though a library can use an external FTP scheduler to go check for new files and retrieve them on a regular basis. They could then script a process to upload that file and select a particular job profile. But those MARC files need to hit Data Import, not the Orders app. We have a separate feature for automating/scheduling FTP,

Thanks Ann-Marie Breaux, I will defer to you on this one. Also, the scheduler seems like a logical alternative if this cannot be triggered by mod-gobi in something that might more closely resemble "Real-time". |

Ann-Marie Breaux Yes! Being able to automate the ftp pickup and DI jobs would be a great improvement for libraries using the Gobi-FOLIO API in combination with the "shelf ready" service. |
