Correcting records via loading service

Question

What is the best way to load corrected records back into the database?
The records were exported (only the tags involved) and corrected outside Aleph. A file in Aleph Sequential format ready to upload to correct the records is available.
What would be the fastest way to process the file? There’s no need to re-index the records.

Answer

Run “Load ALEPH Sequential MARC Records (manage-18)” with option "Indexing=None". The service runs very fast and if e.g. started on a weekend there should be no problem.

Additional Information

To be on the save side you could also split the input file into 4 files with 100.000 records each (or even smaller).
