[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] SIP and Sorters / Self Check systems

[Lori Bowen Ayre]

Hi All,

KCLS is using Evergreen with their very large, very fast sorter.  Here's the
video of Go Live day if you want to see it in action on Evergreen.

<http://www.youtube.com/loriayre#p/c/CD664E48E7841333/12/5cgl25eynqw>This
sorter is doing a lot more than sorting.  It is also building tote manifests
as it does so.  So, getting it working required moving beyond SIP2.  I don't
have any documentation yet but I do know it will be forthcoming.

I also know that Evergreen supports SIP2 so theoretically it should be
simple....but nothing with SIP is simple, so I strongly recommend testing
early and often with your AMH vendor.

If your vendor is Lyngsoe/FKI (vendor of the sorter in the video), you're
golden.  I don't know if any of the other vendors have gotten their sorters
going on Evergreen yet.
