HOWTO: Removing Pending OCLC Updates
January 5, 2006
SUMMARY
When processing both Borrowing and Lending OCLC requests, records that are in the queue for updating (either via the Connector or through MicroEnhancer or Passport) can be removed from that table so that a different update can be sent to OCLC.
The most common need for this is Lending requests that are mistakenly cancelled, conditionalized or marked as "yes" and that status needs to be changed later. ILLiad allows you to remove the old pending update from the table within the client so that staff can then update the request to the new status/process for updating on OCLC.
EXAMPLES
To change a Lending request that was originally answered as "yes" to a conditional, do the following steps:
- From the Update Stacks Search form, click the Mark Item as Found button (this will most likely already have been done earlier, hence the need to change the update).
- Search the request in ILLiad and go to the General Update Form.
- If there are any pending updates to be sent to OCLC, a tab will appear on the right side of the form next to the Resubmission tab marked Pending Updates.
- Click on the Pending Updates tab and right-click on the update you wish to remove.
- Choose Remove Selected Pending Update from the pop up menu.
- The selected update will be removed from the list and the update table. If the list is now empty, closing and reopening the General Update form will remove the Pending Updates tab. The Pending Updates tab only shows if there are updates in the table to be sent to OCLC.
- Process the request again with the new status. In this example, you would conditionalize the request from the General Update form to send a Conditional message on OCLC at the next update.
