    Question

    After setting up publishing to, RapidILL or another publishing profile for OIA harvesting, and testing the link, e.g.

    https://naNN.alma.exlibrisgroup.com/view/oai/01ALMA_INST/request?verb=ListSets
    

    see error:

    "OAI Repository is not active for this Institution".

    However, OAI Integration Profiles has been set up.

    Answer

    The message arrives if the my IP is out of range for the OAI IP definitions. Try to remove limitations or adjust them.


    The steps are:

    1. Go to: Configuration > General > Integration Profiles
    2. Click on: OAI_DEFINITION
    3. Select the "Actions" (tab)
    4. Click the "Allowed IPs" button.

    Can you at least for now add just all IPs:

    1.1.1.1-255.255.255.255

    Multiple libraries use this IP for the duration, or even after test phase.

    Additional Information

    For context and complete setup refer to:

    The blog "Alma - RAPID OAI Setup and Configuration".

    The Article: "Publish to RapidILL via OAI-PMH of holdings and electronic activations".
