    Question

    How do we add holdings, in batch, to a group of bib records in our database that have no MFHDs?

    Answer

    You can use Bulk Import to do this.

    Basic steps:

    1. Using MarcExport, export the bib records that you want to create MFHDs for.
    2. Import the bib records, using a Rule that will:
    • Match on BIBID and Replace
    • Has Single MFHD > Bibs, MFHDs selected
    • Has Create PO/MFHD/Item for existing Bibs checked
    • Configure Mapping tab to specify the Voyager Location to be set in the new 852 subfield b.
    1. Test on a single record and review. 

    Your import log should look something like this, which shows the bib record was replaced (with its copy) and a single new MFHD created:

     

    I am 1681 ( started from process id: 1663 ).  I will be doing all of '/m1/voyager/tmp/cgipost-df948c0e794e9c685787b85ee40f2b44-1593.tmp' for you.

    The import code is "CR_MFHD" for this run.

    The Bib dup profile is "BBID" for this run.

    This import is using a rule that allows for creating Bibs and MFHDs.

    Warning:No cat_control_barcode profile found for [CR_MFHD].

    This import is using a rule for creating MFHDs and Items even when the incoming Bib is not imported.
