Hi Bill, That is interesting, but we are making good use of the new Record Match sets in Vandelay, matching on 001/035, 020, 024, and 028, so it doesn't sound like the direct export from Connexion to Evergreen would be a good fit for us.

Basically, the script runs as a daemon and listens on a configured port. You configure Connexion exports to use the hostname and port number associated with the running script. When you export from Connexion, the file is sent to your server and imported into Evergreen. The script supports 901c matching for merging/overlay and new record creation. -b -- Bill Erickson | Senior Software Developer | phone: 877-OPEN-ILS (673-6457) | email: [email protected] | web: http://esilibrary.com | Equinox Software, Inc. / Your Library's Guide to Open Source
