[Wactclc-alma] Republishing physical items

Just FYI, with Primo VE, there isn’t the concept of republishing to Primo, since Primo VE searches Alma directly, rather than through published PNX records.

Sally, could you clarify your question a bit?

Do you mean the new external local names aren’t appearing in Primo, and instead the internal names still appear?

What’s the MMSID of an example title, and an external location name?

Thanks Kirsti,

This was very helpful (as you always are)!

I am getting a Failed to connect FTP error and I’m not sure what to do with that. Nothing at this point in the day.

But I do feel I’m on the right track.

(My first instinct was to only do this for the locations that were changed (of which there were ten with not many items). It doesn’t seem  a big deal to do all of them, especially considering your job has over three times the number we have ((as of the screenshot, anyway).

Thanks again,
Sally

Sally,

I keep a logical set of Unsuppressed Physical Titles that I use when I have to republish.  IIRC, I created the set by saving an advanced search using the following criteria:

Search type: Physical titles
Title - Tag suppressed from External Search = No

Here are my notes about what I do to republish to Primo:

Hi All,

We’ve moved our collection across the street and are changing the external names for some of our locations.  Naturally the aim is to have them show in Primo but they’re not. As I understand it, I need to republish but I’ve hit a bump. The last time I had to do this was years (?) ago and I had trouble then. As I recall, I needed to build an itemized set for Physical Titles but I couldn’t the job to run, and I needed ExL support help me out.  I started down the same road at the end of last week, this time also trying by using an Analytics report as the source for the titles, and I have not met with success; I think I left off with a problem on matching items.

Before I dive in any deeper, has anyone done this recently?

Thanks for any light you can shed.

-Sally
