    Description:
    When running publish-06 against a specific xxx01 library retrieving a range of documents, all libraries with matching system numbers return results as well.

    For example, if running against abc01, libraries pqr01 and xyz01both return results for 000000002 in the publish report. See /tmp/publish/PRIMO-FULL/tar/aleph.PRIMO-FULL.20081120.130419.1.tar.gz as an example.

    This was run to retrieve all records from abc01, but contains items from the other two libraries as well.

    Resolution:
    p_publish_06 reads the z00p records for the specified PUBLISH-SET and creates a tar file of the records.

    The $alephe_scratch/abc01_p_publish_06.00091 has "PRIMO-FULL" for the publish set:

    setenv p_publish_set "PRIMO-FULL"

    The UTIL F / 4 records for z00p #000000002 are included at the end of this Resolution. As you can see, all of these records have "PRIMO-FULL" as the Set (because they all have PRIMO-FULL as the Publishing set in the ./xxx01/tab/tab_publish). Therefore, all three of these records are written to the output tar file.

    One solution is to create a separate Publishing Set for each library.

    abc01 tab_publish would have:

    PRIMO-ABC ABC01PUB N PRIMO MARC_XML

    pqr01 tab_publish would have:

    PRIMO-PQR PQR01PUB N PRIMO MARC_XML

    and xyz01 tab_publish would have:

    PRIMO-XYZ XYZ01PUB N PRIMO MARC_XML

    The updating of tab_publish is described in the "Aleph Publishing Mechanism" document.

    Thus, when p_publish_06 is run for abc01, PRIMO-ABC would be specified as the publishing set and only the abc01 records would be included in the output tar file.

    Alternatively, you could do any or all of the following on the Primo side. (Though sites have found these difficult in practice.):

    1. Have ABC as a selection in the initial Primo search. (This would search the abc01pub base only.)

    2. Have a link which would take the user to http://yourlibrary.abc.edu/F/&local_base=abc01pub , so they would actually be switched to this base within the regular OPAC.

    3. Have ABC as a Holdings selection in the Primo results, so the user could select the ABC location specifically.
