It is mandatory to crosswalk a NACSIS record format (CAT-P) into Alma format (MARC21). This is done by configuring the Physical source format and Source format to be CAT-P into the Target format MARC21 Bibliographic/Authority.
In order to enable the Physical source format CAT-P, please contact Ex Libris support.
