[Wactclc-alma] Course Reserves End Date

[Whittaker, Shellie]

Tammy,

I think you might be able use the Rolling Over Courses functionality discussed in the documentation under Managing Courses.  It looks like a bit of work, but better than one by one.

https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Product_Documentation/010Alma_Online_Help_(English)/030Fulfillment/060Courses_and_Reading_Lists/020Managing_Courses

But certainly nice that Wade is willing to just take care of it for you with the API.

Tammy,

I can use the API to update the expiration date on those courses.

I don’t think there’s any update tool in Alma proper.

Just let me know what new date you would like to use.

If the courses are pretty set (ie, they don’t change much over time), it’s safe to push the expiration date out further into the future (2 years, or whatever).

You can always adjust the courses that end up being discontinued.

Course Reserves only show up in Primo if the course is active and the Course End Date is in the future.  Currently all our courses are set to end 6/17/18.  Is there a way to update all of the course end dates in a single job instead of editing each course?  I keep thinking there was a new job I could run but I can’t find it.  Or do you recommend a new date far in the future?
