Alma Remote Storage Database Cleanup
Event part
Developers Day
Abstract
The presentation will discuss how to keep the Dematic automated storage and retrieval system in sync with the Ex Libris Alma system. This session will show how to output the data from Alma and compare it to the remote storage database using a Python script to analyze the data from both systems. Four text files are output after the comparison is run: BadBarcode.txt, Alma_NotinLASR.txt, LASR_NotinAlma.txt, and StatusDiff.txt. Using these four files, problem items can be identified and then fixed so that the two systems match. When the two databases are out of sync, there are problems when users make requests so it's important to maintain order. While the Python script is unique for UNLV's Dematic system, this might be helpful to other libraries using remote storage systems.
