    The PNX Extensions Loader Tool

    This functionality is not relevant to to Primo VE.
    The PNX Extensions Loader tool allows on-premises customers to add PNX extensions to PNX records that already exist. In order to use this tool, the following conditions must be met:
    • You must implement a file splitter program that supports the extensions that you want to add. For more information, see PNX Extensions Loader Tool on the Ex Libris Developer Network.
    • Because the tool relies on knowing the PNX record ID, you must have the original source record ID of the record to which the extension is to be attached.
    • You must be an installation-level staff user to create and execute this tool.
    • This tool will harvest only the files that have been added or modified since the last time the tool was executed.
    To load PNX extensions:
    1. On the Tools Monitoring page, select PNX Extensions Loader in the Create a Tool drop-down list.
