[Wactclc-alma] Republishing physical items

[Guidry, Wade]

Good work, Sally, and good use of external location names ☺

And yes, when an external location name is present for a location, that is the name that will get used in faceting.

Never mind – Primo seems to be showing things the way I want it to now, and I’ve spot-checked a few locations now. What I was seeing was not the Internal name, but the old External name from before my changes.  I had changed the external name for ten locations.

Here’s one that shows what I want:

In this example, the external name used to have “-Main Floor” tacked on the end, as was true for the Good Reads and Children’s book collections, etcetera. https://sbctc-whatcomctc.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/01STATEWA_WHATCC/erbn69/alma99282306202827


I also removed the word “-Desk”  from the external names of several locations, and I wanted three locations to have the same external name (Health). After I modified the external names, I thought I saw one that looked correct, but looked some more and figured I imagined it since I saw wrong ones coming up. I should have guessed it was worth waiting a bit to check again before deciding the changes weren’t sticking. I was pleased with myself for remembering I had seen that behavior before and that it had to do with republishing. In any event, I should be pleased that I was able to remember something from that long ago, haha.

This one used to say Heet but now ways Health (which is what we want, and we already have a Health location.)

(I hope the location facets reflect the new external names. I’ll check later this afternoon.)

Thanks very much to you and to Kirsti for your help.

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
