    Question    
    How long is a set_number in X-serve find active/valid? 

    For instance: http://<server>/X?op=find&base=XXX&request=wbk=arb%20AND%20wbk=de* 

    which results in: 
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> 
    - <find> 
    <set_number>261126</set_number> 
    <no_records>000001725</no_records> 
    <no_entries>000001725</no_entries> 
    <session-id>VUCFU5CA64DCQN6SE988LDHT7ARKMQID2RY3936YASRF2T3RBT</session-id> 
    </find>

     

    Answer    
    The result sets for searches performed by X-Service or other Aleph functions (as GUI search or OPAC) are stored in tables z05 (set) and z110 (result-set table) in VIR01. 

    The result sets are valid as long these tables are not dropped. 
    The tables are dropped by clear_vir01, which we recommend to execute at least on a weekly basis. 

    So it depends on the frequency of your clear_vir01 how long a set number is active.
