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
