Set Up RSS Feed for New Items

Question

How do I set up an RSS feed for New Items?

Answer

1. Configure the rss_discovery_url under General Configuration > Other Settings
2. Set up an RSS feed under Alma Configuration > Discovery > Publishing > Publishing Profiles
3. Schedule and run the RSS feed. 

In addition to the files created as a result of the job, Alma generates a summary link for each RSS job as follows:

http://server:port/rep/getFile?institution_code=[INST_CODE]&file=[RSS_FEED_NAME]&type=RSS

RSS_FEED_Name is defined in the Publishing Profile Details in step 2 of the procedure

Discovery users must set up the get file method to read the RSS file by specifying the type as RSS: Base_Url/rep/getFile?institution_code=<INST_CODE>&file=<File_Name>&type=rss
