Question

I am submitting a Data Change Job in Global Data Change and see the "Update Location" configuration drop-down.  What does this selection do?

Answer

• The Location selected in the "Update Location" drop-down will be recorded in the Location field in Voyager's BIB_HISTORY table. 
• That Location is displayed in the Cataloging Location column in the History tab of the Cataloging Client. 
• It does not change the Location in the MFHD.

Additional Information

See the Global Data Change User's Guide, Chapter 5, for more information¹

¹Note that versions of the Global Data Change User's Guide previous to version 10.2 fail to mention that this drop-down is activated for Suppress and Unsuppress consequence data change jobs. In the 10.2 version of the User's Guide, this is rectified (as per "Updates to This Guide"):

Otherwise when one of the rules you select has a Suppress/Suppress All or Unsuppress/Unsuppress All consequence selected, the Submit Data Change Job dialog box displays the following additional option:

• Update Location

The functionality of GDC did not change, it was simply an omission in the documentation.
