Administrative record..in library YYY30 points to current doc with link type ITM
- Article Type: General
- Product: Aleph
- Product Version: 21
Problem Symptoms:
Attempt to delete XXX50 ADM record 191122 gives the message: "Administrative record 000002552 in library YYY30 points to current document with link type ITM".
Cause:
GUI program checks xxx50 check_doc for CATALOG-DELETE (or NAV-MAP-DELETE) lines for conditions which should prevent the ADM's deletion.
The xxx50 check_doc has the following lines (among others):
CATALOG-DELETE check_doc_delete_lkr and
NAV-MAP-DELETE check_doc_delete_lkr
The check_doc_delete_lkr program checks for (z103) links to the doc record which is being deleted.
util f/3/12 shows the following links to ADM record 191122:
ENTER HOME LIBRARY : xxx50
ENTER DOC-NUMBER : 191122
SYS01 001221768 ADM
YYY30 000002552 ITM
Resolution:
Override the message in the GUI.
Additional Information
The following SQL gives counts of the different ADM libraries to which yyy30 records are linked:
> s+ yyy30
SQL> select substr (z103_rec_key_1,1,5), count(*) from z103 where z103_rec_key like 'YYY30%' group by substr (z103_rec_key_1,1,5);
util f/4 shows that, after deletion in GUI Cataloging, ADM 191122 now has a "DEL Y" field. But the YYY30 link still exists:
ENTER HOME LIBRARY : xxx50
ENTER DOC-NUMBER : 000191122
YYYY30 000002552 ITM
ZZZ30 000012714 ITM
The issue of ITM links not being deleted when the ADM/item is deleted is not unique to Course Reserves records; it applies to *all* ITM links. This issue is discussed in
KB 4125 ("Deleting item doesn't delete ITM z103 records"),
KB 8192-3607 ("Incorrect links from bib record to ADM records"), and
KB 8192-3449 ("Deleting Item Doesn't Delete ITM z103 Records ").
The extraneous ITM links should not cause any major problem. They will be eliminated when manage-12 ("Create Links Between Records") is next run.
