Question

When exporting records from My Account in bulk to the RIS format, there is a warning message displayed saying the request item(s) not available, or some items are invalid and could not be processed. Why is that and where are the messages defined?

Answer

Primo records can be exported only if there are valid PNX records.

Some of transactions under My account (including historical) may not already exist in Primo, or they were never harvested, so their PNX information is missing.

Before exporting records in bulk, the relevant records are checked if they have valid PNX information:

  • if all records do not have valid PNX information, their export is not possible and the warning message is displayed, it si defined under Code table Loans List Labels with code default.loans.invalid
  • if only some records do not have PNX information, just valid records are exported, and another warning message is displayed, which is defined under Code table Loans List Labels with code default.loans.someInvalid

 

In Primo November 2021 Release, RIS format has been improved according to the specification above.

In subsequent Primo 2022 Releases, other export formats will be improved as well.
