TargetMatcher

TargetMatcher Overview

TargetMatcher is a tool that allows you to do the following:

Create a report of active target services in the database
Activate target services in the database

TargetMatcher can also be used to determine an object’s target, which is necessary for batch activations using DataLoader.

TargetMatcher is useful for libraries that have a list of objects to which they subscribe and need to obtain a list of matching targets in order to use the DataLoader tool.

To start TargetMatcher, from the Additional KB Tools section of the Setup and Administration area, click TargetMatcher. The following window opens:

To create a report or activate targets:

Using Microsoft Excel, prepare a tab-delimited input file. In the first column of the file, list the primary key, which can be ISSN, ISBN, LCCN, or Object ID numbers. In the second column you can list any information you want—for example, thresholds.
Click the Browse button and select the file or place it manually in the scratch directory of the SFX instance.
From the Check the input file against drop-down list, select the type of target against which to check the input file. The following options are available:

ACTIVE
INACTIVE
SPECIFIC
ALL
ACTIVE_FULLTXT
INACTIVE_FULLTXT
ALL_FULLTXT

If you select Specific, select the targets against which you want to check the input file from the list and click Add.

From Select Mode, select Report to produce a report of items in the KnowledgeBase or Activation to activate the targets in the input file.
From Select Key, select the type of primary key in the input file.
Click Submit to start the TargetMatcher process.
