ECS Support for Authority Reports

Problem Statement

Purpose: In a consortium environment, authority records may be shared amongst the member institutions and users need a clear indicator that these records are Shared amongst members in the consortium.

Functional Requirements

Requirements and use cases: UIMARCAUTH-266: SPIKE Update Authority control reports to identify records as either Shared or LocalClosed

Solution

The solution is to extend the statistics model with a source field to identify if the related statistics record is shared or local. Determining shared/local status should happen on mod-entities-links side to avoid introducing consortium-related logic in mod-data-export-worker.

For both reports: "Failed updates: linked bibliographic fields" and "MARC authority headings update" it is required to extend handlers that write statistics to mod-entities-links database and related models in mod-data-export-worker. The required changes are highlighted in red on the diagram below.
