Has access from Primo impact on the number of active WWW server licenses?

Question

Has access from Primo significant impact on the number of active WWW server licenses?

Answer

No. The Primo-Aleph communication can be of 2 different types:

(1) system communication, which is initiated by Primo during Brief and Full display records - the system communication is API based (RESTful, X services) and does not trigger any consumption of Aleph WWW server licenses

(2) end user communication, which is initiated by the end user - this communication depends on the inidividual end user decision, when Primo is configured to offer a backlink to the Aleph OPAC, and the user needs to follow up this link to Aleph OPAC - in such a case, after clicking the backlink, the end user starts a new Aleph OPAC session, which consumes a WWW server license
