[Wactclc-alma] Cleaning up records batch added through import

[Thomas, Kirsti]

To quote Patricia Naylor, "Mistakes enhance the learning process." ;)

To the best of my knowledge, import profiles can't be used to edit/overlay existing portfolio or item records.

You can use an import profile to create a new portfolio/item record and you can use an import profile to change an existing bib record.

As far as I know, if you want to do some kind of batch change to portfolio records that already exist, you have to do it via API or via a job on a set of records. Luckily, you're an API wizard. :)

Hope this helps!

And my third attempt to correct this is just adding more blocks to the Primo page. I'm going to stop while I'm ahead and wait for collective wisdom. :-)

Hey all,

I wanted to refresh our Kanopy records in Primo, so I downloaded the MARC records we have and used a Kanopy import profile shared with the community from Rutgers to upload them.

First mistake wasn't digging deeper into the records themselves before uploading, as each record has a second 856 field that links to just a cover image. This ended up being a problem as that second 856 field is actually listed first in the linking services area, e.g.  https://sbctc-edcc.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/fulldisplay?docid=alma991727424002809&context=L&vid=01STATEWA_EDCC:EDMONDS&lang=en&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&adaptor=Local%20Search%20Engine&tab=Everything&query=any,contains,the%20inventor<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsbctc-edcc.primo.exlibrisgroup.com%2Fdiscovery%2Ffulldisplay%3Fdocid%3Dalma991727424002809%26context%3DL%26vid%3D01STATEWA_EDCC%3AEDMONDS%26lang%3Den%26search_scope%3DMyInst_and_CI%26adaptor%3DLocal%2520Search%2520Engine%26tab%3DEverything%26query%3Dany%2Ccontains%2Cthe%2520inventor&data=02%7C01%7C%7C05a1370c369d49d7e64308d7413a92ef%7C02d8ff38d7114e31a9156cb5cff788df%7C0%7C0%7C637049592143660155&sdata=tRunyojW%2BB9AmZ8cT9LmvxXnaGqaFfnApMcKj0tBwgo%3D&reserved=0>

So then I thought, "Well, I'll just tweak that." I modified the import profile to skip indicator 42 and re-uploaded, thinking it would overwrite those records with the new/correct schema. That's why in the link above you see three "view full text" links: the first goes to the cover art, and the second two go to the correct Kanopy page.

Only, the import profile is set to overlay, so I don't know why that original set of two links persists. Anyone have any ideas?
