PROBLEM: Errors when updating OCLC from Borrowing
January 6, 2006

SYMPTOMS

When exporting items to the OCLC MicroEnhancer from ILLiad, an error will appear. The error varies depending on the problem.

ERROR MESSAGES

Permission denied.

File not found.

CAUSE

Permission denied: If the ILLiad share is set to read only, and there is no MEDatPath key directing ILLiad to another folder location for the files it needs, ILLiad can not gain the necessary access to send the updates to the MicroEnhancer.

File not found: The four dat files necessary for updating are not in the ILLiad share or the path that MEDatPath points to if that key exists.

RESOLUTION

The four dat files - EvenReceived.dat, EvenReturned.dat, OddReceived.dat and OddReturned.dat - need to be copied to the local machines in the c:\illiad folder.

Next set your MEDatPath to point to c:\illiad\ (be sure to include the last \ in the path). The key should be under Borrowing .. OCLC Microenhancer. If the key does not exist, you can either add it by entering it in the Customization table (under System .. General in the Customization Manager) with these values or by running the script below that on the ILLData database:

CustKey: MEDatPath
Value: c:\illiad\
NVTGC: ILL
Description: Directory location for the four dat files for Borrowing updating OCLC
AdminCat: Borrowing
AdminKey: OCLC Microenhancer
AdminType: StringValue

<begin script>

use ILLData
go
insert into Customization
(CustKey, Value, NVTGC, Description, AdminCat, AdminKey, AdminType)
values
('MEDatPath','c:\illiad\','ILL','Directory location for the four dat files for Borrowing updating OCLC', 'Borrowing','OCLC Microenhancer','StringValue')
go

<end script>
