Description
We have set up a z39.50 search for University of Minnesota campuses on our development server. The University of Minnesota is using Alma and had a recent service pack installed that supports z39.50 searching of campus locations.
We are able to search the U of MN campus locations for Crookston, Duluth and Morris and get results. When we search the Twin Cities campus we get an error message
Z39.50 target error: [111] Too many databases specified.
Only the Twin Cities campus has a space in the database.
These are the databases:
Twin Cities database: 01UMN_INST/Twin Cities
Crookston database: 01UMN_INST/Crookston
Duluth database: 01UMN_INST/Duluth
Morris database: 01UMN_INST/Morris
I can use Search in ILL and get results for each campus using these titles or ISBN.
Crookston owns ISBN 9781590309179 Title “Touch a butterfly wildlife gardening with kids”
Morris owns ISBN 403007429 Title “ My summer in a garden”
Duluth owns ISBN 0442228848 Title “Grow your own vegetables”
When I use Search in ILL for the U of MN Twin Cities with the ISBN 9781401896355 and Title “Home horticulture principles and practices”. I get the error message:
Z39.50 target error: [111] Too many databases specified.
Can Aleph z39.50 search support a space?
Resolution
Use "%20" in place of the space in the database name in the Aleph UMNTC.conf file:
01UMN_INST/Twin%20Cities
