    Description:
    Both expand_doc_bib_avail and expand_doc_bib_loc_n do not expand items for records when publish-04 is run. The Util_f_4 doc_expand does expand the items and holdings data is expanded when the publish-04 is run using the same configuration.

    Also, why does the MARC_XML add the XML and OAI-PMH headers to the file? Or, should the question be why OAI_MARC21_XML does not?

    Resolution:
    The reason you are not seeing the AVA, LOC, or PST fields is that you are specifying OAI_MARC21_XML in column 5 ("Repository format") of tab_publish.

    These fields are being published when using the MARC_XML format, but not the OAI_MARC21_XML. The OAI_MARC21_XML *can* include the 852 tags from any associated HOL records. (See below.)

    It certainly seems that there is no way to create a file with an AVA field and no XML/OAI-PMH headers....

    The inclusion of the XML/OAI-PMH header is certainly no problem for Primo. In fact, since it is included in the MARC_XML file which produces the z00p which is used as input to Primo, I suspect that it is expected and perhaps required by Primo in some way....

    There are no parameters to control the headers, the inclusion of the AVA, etc. You have the two choices:

    MARC_XML with the AVA and the headers that you see, or
    OAI_MARC21_XML with the header you see for that and the 852, but no AVA.

    The 852 tags from the HOL records can be included OAI z00p records by including the following line in tab_expand:

    OAIP expand_doc_bib_hol

    <where "OAIP" is the Fix and Expand code you have specified in tab_publish>.
