z13 record not deleted by complete bib delete
- Product: Aleph
- Product Version: 20, 21, 22, 23
- Relevant for Installation Type: Dedicated-Direct, Direct, Local, Total Care
Description:
When Netlibrary records were completely deleted (with all check_doc BATCH-DELETE lines commented out) 17 did not get cleaned out of the z13 table.
{Note: when a bib record is logically deleted (has all the fields removed, leaving only a "stub" record with the LDR, 008, and "DEL Y" field), the associated z13 has all its fields emptied out but is not physically deleted.}
Resolution:
Saving the stub bib record, with the DEL Y field, to the server got rid of the z13 data.
Additional Info / Related Articles
Article "Delete BIB Recs Incl. Related ADM/HOL Recs (manage-33): BATCH-DELETE lines" describes the role of the BATCH-DEL checks in preventing bib deletion -- though it should be noted that these checks do *not* affect the removal of the author, title, etc., fields from the z13 record: when the bib record is logically deleted, those corresponding changes to the z13 always happen.
