Nicole,

You could try importing the OCLC WorldShare file into MarcEdit and then re-saving as MARC UTF-8. That sometimes resolves file-reated issues.

Alma should be able to process a 500 record file uploaded from a local drive (ExL usually says files above 10,000 records need to be processed from an SFTP site).

In any case, you could try uploading the troublesome file to the new SFTP service within Alma, and processing it from there, rather than from the upload of your local file.

I know Kirsti had success recently doing so with one of her files.

We looked at the new SFTP service during the 1/19 call<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fdocument%2Fd%2F1KuIEfk9QEk37Haf0SqbPqlyP-u3Ce8VeFQgP2tmsFwU%2Fedit%3Fusp%3Dsharing&data=04%7C01%7Cnlongpre%40bellevuecollege.edu%7C321feaccfed44e27ee5808d8c7087688%7Cf94c251c1347422eb3ea8ac56befd6cb%7C0%7C0%7C637478186467636574%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=sA1Ouwf8rPBPwrK4MegtwH1xo4FUTbh0rbAhqmi5WIo%3D&reserved=0> (notes and quick demo). And I'd be happy to do so again tomorrow if there's interest.

Using SFTP just requires the use of an SFTP client, like WinSCP<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwinscp.net%2Feng%2Fdownload.php&data=04%7C01%7Cnlongpre%40bellevuecollege.edu%7C321feaccfed44e27ee5808d8c7087688%7Cf94c251c1347422eb3ea8ac56befd6cb%7C0%7C0%7C637478186467636574%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=93bPdwH0lgX4%2B%2B70TyOOSFleFARFaV4mvWLCLZu8qkY%3D&reserved=0>, to upload the file.

Let me know if I can help further.

Subject: [Wactclc-alma] Anyone use OCLC Worldshare?

Hi everyone,

I use OCLC Worldshare for records for many of our EBSCO eBook collections, as well as our DDA collection. I have different import profiles for different resources, and I typically have separate profiles for importing and for deleting. That being said, I have quite a few different profiles to look at to make sure my profile is working properly.

I am having trouble with a recent delete file from OCLC for the Community College collection. I get an error that the file fails in validation. It's a huge file with just under 500 records, so any sort of manual work is too cumbersome. I have used this profile for another delete record and it worked fine. I also downloaded the file a second time just in case something went wrong with the initial download, but I encountered the same validation error.

Has anyone dealt with this previously? I know that many folks activate collections from the CZ, but we haven't done that for this collection.

I'd appreciate any assistance on this issue. Thanks,
