    Desired Outcome Goal:
    How can a library overlay BIB records on Production server by the same record from Test server, in GUI Catalog?

    Procedure:
    To connect to the database with the same XXX01 name, use Z39.50 server and configuration.

    1. On Test server, define XXX01 database as z39.50 Source.
    2. On Prod, set up the XXX01-TEST database as z39.50 Target.
    3. Connect to Prod.
    4. Connect to XXX01-TEST via Z39.50. Copy record from XXX01-TEST to XXX01 on Prod.

    Additional Information

    The name of the BIB database is same on Test and on Prod (XXX01), and can appear only once in .\Alephcom\tab\Library.ini.
