HOWTO: Setting Up Electronic Delivery
January 5, 2006

SUMMARY

In order to set up electronic delivery on a client machine, a few keys must be set. Below are the keys found in the Customization Manager under Borrowing .. Electronic Delivery.

EXAMPLES

ArielPath: This is the location of the Ariel received files that ILLiad imports for delivery. The default location for version 3 of Ariel is: c:\Program Files\RLG\Ariel\In\ - be sure that there is a backslash at the end of the directory path.

CheckForPDFFileExists: This key is an internal setting used when sending the request to the server. It should be set to Yes.

DaysBeforeElectronicDeliveryCleanup: The number of days a request remains on the server before being removed by the ILLiadCleanup program.

EDTempPath: This key should be set to c:\illiad\elecdel\ - remember the backslash at the end. In order to activate electronic delivery on the client machine, the elecdel folder needs to be created in the c:\illiad folder.

ElecDelAllowRapidMatch: This key allows the client to match ILLNumbers with negative numbers. This is only necessary if your site receives requests that are processed by Rapid.

ElecDelCustomerDeleteDelay: The number of days after a customer "deletes" a request on the web, before the ILLiadCleanup removes the file from the server.

ElecDelDefaultZoom: The percentage of zoom for the incoming articles viewed in the electronic delivery screen. Normally a value of 40% or so is ideal.

ElecDelPath: The locaion on the server where the pdf files should be copied to. This key should be from the perspective of the client machine, however, so a share should be created for the pdf directory on the server. The staff using the client machine will need to have write access to that share on the server. An example value would be: \\illiadserver\elecdelshare\

ElecDelPrintAllCheckboxDefault: This key allows staff to have all requests in the Print box print and check in at once.

ElecDelShowPDFAfterConversion: This key originally was designed for testing electronic delivery and would have the PDF file open after each conversion. Once in production, this key should most likely be set to No.

ElectronicDeliveryEMailFileName: The name of the email template - normally elecdel.txt - that is used for sending notifications to customers. The template is located in the path set by EMailLocation.

ElectronicDeliveryEMailSubject: The subject of the email notification sent to customers when the request is moved to the server.

PDFPath: The location ILLiad creates the pdf files in after converting the tiff files. By default, this should be set to c:\illiad\elecdel\ (don't forget the backslash at the end).

RemotePDFStorage: A Yes/No value that determines if the pdf files are stored in a separate directory from the default c:\inetpub\wwwroot\illiad\pdf\ folder on the server. If the pdf files are stored in a separate folder, then that folder must be shared as a Web Share of pdf (right click on the folder on the server and go to Properties to set up the web share).

UseOldElecDelForm: This key should be set to No. The new electronic delivery form has PDF conversion built into the client. In order to use the new electronic delivery form, be sure that these three files are in the ILLiad share (or the same folder where ILLiadClient is running) - CRDE2001.dll, ISP2000.dll, and wPDF010A.dll.

WebPDFPath: The location of the pdf files on the server. Normally it is the pdf folder in the illiad web folder - i.e. c:\inetpub\wwroot\illiad\pdf\ but if RemotePDFStorage is set to yes, it can be any folder on the server. This should be the same location as ElecDelPath, except from the perspective of the server (a local path).
