[Evergreen-catalogers] Need Batch Import advice

[Elizabeth McLean]

Hi Mary,

The only time this has worked for me since we upgraded to 2.2 is when I add a 905 field "Merge Ruleset" with the name of the Overlay/Merge profile in subifield $t and our institution abbreviation in subfield $o (in addition to the 901 field).

=905  \\$tFull Overlay$oKCLS
=901  \\$a931127$b$c931127$tbiblio<file:///\\$a931127$b$c931127$tbiblio>

I haven't done extensive testing since we upgraded to 2.2 in February. I thought before 2.2 all I needed was the record ID was in 901$c and then select something like "Merge on Exact 901(c)" to import and fully overlay.

Is this a bug or a feature?

Hi all,

I'm having trouble with what ought to be the simplest type of batch load. I exported and edited a number of records and want to reload them with my changes. I know I want to use "Merge on Exact Match (901c)", but I can't seem to get the records to import. I've tried it with and without a Record Match Set (I set one up matching only on the 901c when loading without a Record Match Set didn't work). I used the Overlay/Merge Profile "Full Overlay," which uses the 901c.

In all attempts at loading, the queue shows that the matching bib was found, but I can't get the import/overlay to take place. There are 600 bibs in the queue, and 600 Record Import Failures. I must be missing something, but am at a loss at this point. This shouldn't be so hard.

Any advice?

Thanks,

Mary
