While we are on this subject. What is the proper way to delete items, then volumes/call number, bibs via sql? I’m looking at deleting ~3000 withdrawn copies after we grab the ones that are last copies to tell OCLC about. I would rather not use the staff client since it seems to have problems with that many records at once.
The best way is to use Perl to communicate with the OpenSRF services and to use
OpenILS::Application::Cat::AssetCommon->delete_copy With the proper options, it will delete empty call numbers and bibs for you as well as return a list of holds that need to be retargeted if any copies remain. -- Jason Stephenson Assistant Director for Technology Services Merrimack Valley Library Consortium 4 High ST, Suite 175 North Andover, MA 01845 Phone: 978-557-5891 Email: jstephen...@mvlcstaff.org Please note my new email address.
