    • Product: Aleph
    • Product Version: 20, 21, 22, 23
    • Relevant for Installation Type: Dedicated-Direct, Direct, Local, Total Care

     

    Problem Symptoms:
    - Using X-service item-data 
    - Record has more 1000 associated items
    -> The resulting XML is too big to be displayed.

    For example for:

    http://<server>/X?base=xxx01&doc_number=000170356&op=item-data 

    The following reply is received:
    <item-data>
    <error>doc_num

     

    Cause:
    There is a hardcoded limit for the size of the XML that can't be changed.

     

    Resolution:
    Use X-service circ_stat_m instead of item.data. It less information than item-data but it has most important information from Z30 and Z36.

    It has parameter START_POINT which enables to retrieve information for documents with more than 1000 items.
