    The A-Z List must be built using the Server Admin Utility in the following situations:
    • Before you can start using the A-Z List for the first time
    • After changes in the SFX KnowledgeBase related to activation or institute settings
    • After changes in the A-Z sorting setup
    • When configuration changes are made for either the default profile or an additional profile.
    Next to each field in the Configuration section that requires a rebuild when changed is either one asterisk that indicates that a rebuild of both the RSI and A-Z indexes are required or two asterisks that indicates that only a rebuild of the A-Z index is required.
    For more information, refer to the A-Z Index section of the SFX System Administration Guide.
    • Journals in the SFX KnowledgeBase missing required title information for display or sorting are not be included in the A-Z List. They are listed in the log file generated during the A-Z index creation. This log file is stored in the following directory: exlibris/sfx_ver/sfx4_1/<instance>/logs/.
    • You must define a country in order to build the A-Z List. For more information, see Language.
    • To ensure that the A-Z Index is updated daily with changes in the SFX instance, it is recommended to set up a cron job to build the A-Z Index. This is done with the Server Admin Utility. For more information, refer to the A-Z Index section of the SFX System Administration Guide.
