[Wactclc-alma] Checking History of Patron Load RE: [EXTERNAL] - - CTCLink Patron Upload

One thing to be aware of...

If IT sends a blank XML file with no patron records to the Ex Libris FTP server, Alma will process the empty file and the job history will show that the patron load job ran successfully.

I mean, technically the job did run successfully. It's not Alma's fault that there were no records in the file to do anything to.

You need to confirm 2 things when you check the job history files:


  1.  Status = Completed successfully
  2.  Records Processed >0

If you see the job ran successfully, but Records Processed = 0, then you know the problem is on the IT side of things.

Hi All,
Here are the steps to check your patron load job history:

Step 1:
Admin>Monitor Jobs

Step 2:
Click on the History Tab

Step 3:
Adjust date range desired (30 days at a time is maximum limit). Type "patron" into the search bar and "enter".

You can work backwards 30 days at a time.  I noticed we have been having problems since 7/16/2022.  Our last successful student load was July 15.

Hope this helps!

Hi All,

We are also seeing something similar with our faculty and staff not updating correctly from ctcLink. They are currently teaching or working but ctclink is loading them as expired. I am trying to connect with our IT person in charged of ctcLink to see if they can see on their end what could be causing this.

All the best,

Julie

Hi All,

Is anyone else having a parsing error from CTCLink uploading into Alma? Apparently, ours has not functioned since 7/15.

Hi all,



I've accepted a new position and will be moving on from Edmonds College. I've greatly enjoyed solving problems with and getting to know everyone on the list. Y'all are a creative and talented group of people, and I know each of you will guide your libraries through some fun new tech ahead.



I hope everyone continues to thrive! Be well all.



All the best,

Dan
