Question

What does the Owning Library control in the Bulk Import Rule?

Answer

The Owning Library will be applied to the records imported via BulkImport. If you are using a Bib Duplicate Detection Profile set to Replace, Merge or Bi-Directional Merge and the Owning Library on the Import Rule does not match the Owning Library of the matching record in the database, it will NOT see it as a match.

That is:

• Import Rule has Owning Library set to LibraryA
• Record in database has Owning Library set to LibraryB
• Duplicate detection set to Replace.

Incoming record will NOT match & replace existing record
