Current development (Nolana and Orchid)

Agenda:

    • Morning Glory hotfix 
      • MODDICONV-276 - Getting issue details... STATUS : hotfix created and being tested by Michigan State and Cornell; should be ready in the next day or two; migration script packaged into the HF release, not stand-alone
    • Nolana Bugfest - any additional feedback?
      • Working on a few more Nolana Bugfixes, which must be finished by the end of next week
      • Data export issues have been causing blockers
      • Jennifer: imported 6K into Bugfest (just creating SRS MARC & instances), but it went fine; production: can't do more than 600 at a time (creating SRS MARC, Instances, Holdings, Items); need more research
        • Work to separate ISRI and regular Data Imports - should keep ISRI from being slowed down
        • So much is trying to query and act on Inventory - CI/CO, Bulk edit, Export, Import - devs have taken steps to separate the streams and protect CI/CO from the effects of batch actions
        • Backend logging additions in Orchid will help to provide more troubleshooting info as well 
      • A-M: Review the sample test profiles that PTF is using - see if we can add an 035 OCLC match for one of the update scenarios
    • Small ISRI feature: ability to assign various profiles UXPROD-3831 - Getting issue details... STATUS
      • Updated PPT with wireframes and additional details can be found here.
      • Reviewed with Charlotte and Mike Gorrell; all fine
      • Will be discussed at MM SIG tomorrow, along with Charlotte and a couple libraries discussing/demonstrating push from external sources
    • Creating/Updating multiple holdings/items from 1 MARC Bib
      • Brainstorm requirements
        • Creates vs Updates
        • Matching
        • Multiple copies/items associated with different locations/holdings
      • Sample MARC Bibs/demos welcome!
      • Use cases:
        • Create: CDs with 1 going to stacks, 1 going to archives (Jennifer E)
          • Create MARC Bib/Instance, 2 holdings, 1 item on each holding
        • Create: E-resource (Jennifer E)
          • JSTOR: 1 BIB with 5 holdings (each with different location, URL and proxy), 1 item on each holding - all creates
            • Ideally modifications interspersed to create the 856 with specific proxy/URL for each library
            • Right now 6 jobs: 1 to create instance and holdings/items for Lib A, then 4 to create holdings/items for Libs B-E, then clean up MARC SRS
        • Update: Have an e-resource on 2 platforms; Remove access/holdings for 1 platform
          • Would need to be able to batch delete 1 holdings record - talk with Magda - when?
          • Short term - maybe just mark as suppressed and remove the URL for now?
          • Batch of records that come from a vendor, e.g. Hein or aggregators with sets that are synthesized by OCLC - can be huge batches of records
            • Incoming record 1: 2 856s, 1 for agg1, 1 for agg2
              • Sequence of the 856s is not predictable
              • Match on OCLC number and maybe submatch on status and Overlay instance
              • Match holdings based on 856$u/URL
                • For any that are found, take no action
                • For any that are not found, add holdings with 2nd URL (not the first)
            • Incoming record 2: ??
        • (non-multi case) E-resource with 1 holdings and 1 item, but with 5 URLs in the holdings record (Jennifer E)
          • Chicago has similar use cases - multiple URLs in 1 holdings, or multiple URLs in separate items
        • Next Steps
          • A-M will create a table for use cases and Google folder for sample files
          • Continue to talk through use cases

No meetings on 23 Nov and 30 Nov; next meeting will be 7 Dec

Upcoming meetings/agenda topics:

  • UAT for Importing order data
  • Planning for Creating/Updating multiple holdings/items from 1 MARC Bib (dev work to be done in Poppy)
