III XML Harvester Needed?

» Submitted by brianegan on Fri, 01/02/2009 - 11:42am

Hi John,

I was going to start playing around with an installation of SOPAC next week and perform my first harvest, etc.

UNLV has an Innovative WebOPAC Pro installation I was hoping to harvest, but I wondered whether my library needed to purchase the XML Harvesting module from III in order for Locum to grab the info it needs? I didn't see that in the requirements or in the III Connector tar information, but I could see it being necessary.

Thanks for the info!
Brian

Solved my own question!

In order to harvest from III, the connector John built requires that your server puts out an xrecord (XML record). Here is an example:

http://webpac.library.unlv.edu/xrecord=b1981438

It appears this does not require extra modules, but does need to be configured in your WWWOPTIONS file for your server.

To do this in the WWWOPTIONs file, add:

XRECTYPE=boi

Save the change and restart your server. III WebOPAC should now output xrecords.
