I've been running yaz 3.0.34 on one of our trunk OpenSRF/trunk Evergreen servers with no discernible problems thus far, so last night I decided to take the plunge and test out and document the Simple2ZOOM-over-SRU server approach for providing a Z39.50 server. It turns out that it's not difficult at all. http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=evergreen-admin:sru_and_z39.50 (I could do a better job documenting this now that I've got a little more experience with SRU and CQL under my belt). And I'll note again that you don't _have_ to have yaz 3.0.34 running on your Evergreen server and have everything running on a single box. Simple2ZOOM worked quite happily running on my laptop pointing to the dev.gapines.org server. -- Dan Scott Laurentian University

I don't see any reason right out front that OpenILS::WWW::Supercat from trunk won't work as a drop-in replacement for the one in 1.2.2, but it has not been tested with anything prior to trunk/1.4. This, in combination with the Apache config below, will give you an SRU target that understands the Bibliographic Context Set for CQL. Location /opac/extras/sru SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler OpenILS::WWW::SuperCat::sru_search Options +ExecCGI PerlSendHeader On allow from all /Location The next step is integrating Simple2ZOOM, which can act as a sort of a reverse Z39.50 proxy to SRU targets. That is not complete, but you can read more about Simple2ZOOM at: http://search.cpan.org/~mirk/Net-Z3950-Simple2ZOOM/bin/simple2zoom This is the plan for 1.4, though I don't think Debian has a modern enough YAZ package, which means installing YAZ from source. -- Mike Rylander | VP, Research and Design | Equinox Software, Inc. / The Evergreen Experts | phone: 1-877-OPEN-ILS (673-6457) | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | web: http://www.esilibrary.com

Anyone have any ideas in setting up a gateway, or something, to act as a target Z39.50 server for Interlibrary Loan and Federated search until it's integrated into EG? Hey Grant, do you just need to expose bib records via Z39.50? You could always try the time-honored workaround of exporting data and using an external application (see Yaz and Zebra from http://indexdata.com/). There's even an atom feed in Evergreen where you can pull bib data for new titles as they're added. I imagine it would be easy to add one for record deletions, or you could query the db periodically. This is just off the top of my head. You might be able to backport the SRU functionality from trunk and layer a Z39.50 translation service on top of it, but we'll need Mike to chime in on that. -- Jason Etheridge | VP, Community Support and Advocacy | Equinox Software, Inc. / The Evergreen Experts | phone: 1-877-OPEN-ILS (673-6457) | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | web: http://www.esilibrary.com
