[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Vandelay 2.2. question

[Janet Schrader]

Hi Mary,

I've been testing Vandelay and find it very slow. It takes 5-10 minutes to process files of 6 or 12 records and 2-5 minutes to load the records. My attempt to load a file of 500 records just died in the processing phase. I am matching on 035, 020, and 010. It turns out the file of 500 records had no match-points for records in our database.

How does this compare with what you are seeing?

Also, how do you get the OCLC numbers into the 001 field? Did you do this during migration. I load 1,000s of EBrary records where the only numerical match-point is the EBrary control number in the 001 field and I'd prefer to keep it that way. Currently our EG 001 field is the TCN. 


Thanks,
Janet

Hi Kathy,

Just tried my overlay set-up and it worked beautifully. Matches and overlays abound. Thanks so much for your help. 

Except....when I do an overlay with Z39.50, I can get the TCN to change to the OCLC number. I didn't get that result with my Vandelay overlays. I want to, very much. Is there a setting I missed that would make that happen? Or is it a programming oversight, that the two types of import/overlay don't achieve the same results?

Again, thanks for any insights.

Mary

Hi Mary, 

I can answer your question about the 001 field. You need to make the 001 field a record attribute to match on it. You can do so by going to Server Admin < MARC record attributes. I've attached a screenshot of the 001 record attribute we set up when testing. 

Once you set up the record attribute, you can build a match set based on the record attribute (you may need to first reboot the client). Instead of selecting MARC tag and subfield when building your match set, click the "record attribute" button. The new attribute you just created should be available in the list.

I hope this helps!

Kathy
