[Evergreen-catalogers] Help with importing items and not keeping holdings field (945 or 949)

Thu May 7 11:10:23 EDT 2020

Hello, 

I’m following this string although I’m not a coder. I agree with Kate, that we at Anderson County Library also load with a 949 and we have to remove it manually. It would be great if the attributes loaded and then our 949 disappeared.

This interests me, as we load with a 949 and then depend on catalogers to remove that field after uploading. It would be nice for it to successfully upload the holdings but not keep the field itself.

Hi Janet,

I'm not seeing a checkbox for keep either. (I'm looking at the  
angularized Holdings Import Profile in 3.3 and 3.5)  I see a reference  
to it in the 2.12 docs but it disappears in the 3.0 docs so maybe the  
feature didn't come over to the web client?   
(http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/3.0/_import_item_attributes_2.html)

You might be able to set the 945 as one the fields that is removed  
automatically in MARC Import Remove Fields (Administration -> Server  
Administration -> MARC Import Remove Fields).  I don't know if the  
import process removes the fields before loading holdings or not.

MARC Import Remove Fields is one of the admin pages missing the link  
to its secondary page in the newer angular interfaces  
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1847781 and  
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1847800)  If you're running  
3.3 or newer you may be able to get around this by changing the url  
from  
yourlibrary/eg2/en-US/staff/admin/server/vandelay/import_bib_trash_group to  
yourlibrary/eg/staff/admin/server/vandelay/import_bib_trash_group and  
accessing the older interface.

Hope this helps,

Jennifer
