Background
When working in Alma NZ (eg. within an IZ environment & NZ record/scope), searching/importing within MD Editor and importing records from OCLC Connexion/Record Manager to Alma requires OCLC credentials shared for entire UC System. The OCLC credential needs to be configured in two places: 1) used in Open MDE: Configuration/Resources/Search Configuration/External search resources/OCLC; 2) for record exported from OCLC: Configuration/General/External systems/Integration profile/Connexion
ExL documentation:
OCLC Credentials Configuration:
Configuring search (3.1. Configuring External Search Resources) (ExL Knowledge Center)
Importing Records from OCLC Connexion/Record Manager (ExL Knowledge Center)
Network Zone question: 3rd-party integrations (BC message, note that ExL mentions ‘Worldcat (with Consortia credentials)’ [emphasis added])
Others:
External System Search when Using a Network Zone (ExL Knowledge Center)
External System Search (ExL Knowledge Center)
Searching Resources (ExL Knowledge Center)
Questions to consider
For test load, could UC continue using same testing credentials as Vanguard?
For go-live, one unique consortium OCLC account for import records from WorldCat into Alma via Alma’s MD Editor and/or OCLC Connnexion Integration Profile, or separate account for each (i.e. two accounts)?
Since ExL recommended “Worldcat (with Consortia credentials”, which normalization, validation, and match methods to select/standardized when configuring External search resources for OCLC?
Since only one integration profile should be configured for OCLC Connnexion Integration Profile, which normalization, validation, and match methods to select/standardized?
