How do I create an exclude file for a marcexport job?

• Article Type: General
• Product: Voyager
• Product Version: 8.1.2

Desired Outcome Goal:
To create a file of excluded locations to use for Marc Export

Procedure:
NOTE: the exclude file must be created on the server. MarcExport cannot read the file if it's created elsewhere and copied to the server.
The following example creates a file called exclude.dat in the /m1/incoming directory.

1. On server, navigate to the directory you'll keep the file in
cd /m1/incoming
2. Create the file.
vi exclude.dat
3. Add location codes that you wish to exclude, one code per line.
NOTE: These location codes should be
a. Case-sensitive matches to the location codes in System Administration; and
b. Cataloging locations - MarcExport excludes records based on the cataloging location where they were last updated.
4. Save the file.
