Question

Why is there no link to authority records for new authors?
Is there a specific job handling the updates?

Answer

The background job ue_08 checking for new authority entries is supposed to be running for all bibliographical libraries (xxx01) in order to update the bibliographical headings and establish a connection to the authority files.

It is started automatically during Aleph startup according to the definitions for variable ACC_AUT_STARTUP_LIBS in file $alephe_root/aleph_start.private

setenv ACC_AUT_STARTUP_LIBS "xxx01"

Additional Information

You can check the active definitions by typing:
server(a21_1):~/u21_1/alephe>echo $ACC_AUT_STARTUP_LIBS
xxx01
server(a21_1):~/u21_1/alephe>

If the response prompt above is empty, it means, that there is no library defined at the moment.

1. Add the library to $alephe_root/alephe_start.private
setenv ACC_AUT_STARTUP_LIBS "xxx01"

2. Execute
source $alephe_root/aleph_start
to activate the change in the current ssh session
