Archiving Voyager Record Deletion Files

Question

How to archive deleted.bib.marc, deleted.auth.marc, deleted.mfhd.marc and delete.item files located in /m1/voyager/xxxdb/rpt/?

Answer

1. Locate deleted.bib.marc, deleted.auth.marc, deleted.mfhd.marc and delete.item in /m1/voyager/xxxdb/rpt/ on the Voyager server.
2. Rename each file you wish to archive to its archived file name (i.e. deleted.bib.marc.yyyy.mm.dd) using the command: mv [original file name] [new file name]
3. A new file will be created the next time a record of that type is deleted in Voyager.
