INFO: Ariel 4.1 and ILLiad
March 7, 2006
SUMMARY
Ariel functionality changed with Ariel version 4.1 in such a way that earlier versions of the ILLiad client were no longer able to delete the image files from Ariel once they were imported into ILLiad for processing.
ILLiad is able to delete image files from the Ariel 4.1 if the default options for installing Ariel 4.1 are followed and if the ArielType and ArielDatabaseAddress keys in the OCLC ILLiad Customization Manager have the correct values. These keys were part of the version 7.0.4.0 ILLiad Client release.
If changes are made from the default values when installing Ariel 4.1, ILLiad may not be able to delete the Ariel image files. Specifically, if the sa password for the Ariel database is changed from the default password that is part of the Ariel 4.1 installation, ILLiad will not be able to connect to the database to remove the image files.
Both new keys are viewable in the Customization Manager under Borrowing - Electronic Delivery.
ArielType specifies the method ILLiad should use to delete the Ariel image files. Possible values for this key are File (for pre-4.1 versions of Ariel) andQuery (for version 4.1 and higher of Ariel). If this key is set to File, the system attempts to delete the image files using the old method. If this key is set to Query, the system attempts to delete the image files from the Ariel 4.1 database via query.
ArielDatabaseAddress specifies the IP address of the Ariel Database. This key is only used if the ArielType value is set to Query. The ArielDatabaseAddress value defaults to the localhost address (127.0.0.1). If the Ariel Database is located elsewhere, this key will need to be set to the IP address of that location.
AFTER UPDATING
After updating to ILLiad Client version 7.0.4.0, no changes to these keys are necessary unless you have implemented Ariel version 4.1. Ariel importing will continue to work as it did before the update.
Once you implement Ariel 4.1, you will need to change the ArielType value to Query and make sure that the ArielDatabaseAddress is set to the correct IP address for your Ariel Database. For most installations, the localhost address will be correct. If necessary, change this IP address to point to the correct address.
Note: If the designated IP address for the ArielDatabaseAddress key is not the local Ariel machine, port 1433 will need to be open between the local Ariel machine and the Ariel Database Server.
