it wasn't till after I created most of the instances, holdingsRecords, and items that I learned that EDS requires MARC records to be in what the folks at EBSCO are calling Source Record Storage which is actually the records db table. So, in order for EDS to look to FOLIO re the library catalog, and for Patron Functionality to work, it will be necessary to reProcess all of the MARCs that are in the folio MySQL db like so:
- flag, and do not follow-thru with, any title whose instance has been modified since it was first created - for each of these...
- update the MARC so that it agrees with the instance and then follow-thru with...
- add an 856 like so: $uhttps://walter.drew.edu/cgi-bin/folio/editMARC/{instanceId}$yeditMARC
- replace Sirsi-based 999s with FOLIO-based 999s
- overlay (PUT) FOLIO's instance db table
- overlay (UPDATE) Walter's MySQL db with the new MARC and re-index in Solr
- add (POST) the new MARC to FOLIO's "records" db table
But all of that is going to take time and so here's the plan:
- set up a page process on Walter that will enable us to add or edit titles and update both instances and records while keeping Walter's Solr index up-to-date
- add records for all of the instances that currently have items checked out in the loans db table
- send that questionnaire back to EBSCO and get Patron Functionality off the ground
- load records for the rest of the recordLess instances
- load instances and records for all Louisa titles
