Duplicate Z308 ID’s Created When Different ID Types Are Used Across Libraries
- Article Type: General
- Product: Aleph
- Product Version: 20
Problem Symptoms:
When a patron with a Z308 Patron ID type 00 and a key value of NNNNNNN is loaded in XXX50, then a record with the same key value and a different type in YYY50, a duplicate record is created.
Cause:
Z308-key-types must be unique across all ADM libraries
Resolution:
Solution
01. Lengthen the Aleph ID value so that it is different than its associated university ID or barcode types
02. Alternatively, it is also possible to assign a distinct last-bor-id prefix to the Aleph ID using util g/2
