* Output file location in SFX4: /exlibris/sfx_ver/sfx4_1/sfxlcl41/export/institutional_holding.xml
For a library using this base URL for SFX: http://my.library.com/sfxadmin/sfxlcl3
The URL would be: http://my.library.com/sfxlcl4/cgi/public/get_file.cgi?file=institutional_holding.xml
If this URL does not work, see KCS Article "The SFX Institutional Holdings File Does Not Open in My Browser"
* A schedule should be created via the server_admin_util, so the file will be updated regularly.
