Loading IdML books

This topic describes how to load IdML books.

About this task

To load IdML books into the Z Resource Discovery Data Service, you must place the IdML books into the Discovery Library Data Store (DLFS).

All IdML books are stored in the DLFS in a flat structure, that is, without creating additional sub-directories.

Procedure

To load all available IdML books into the Z Resource Discovery Data Service, run the following commands:

cd ZOA_HOME
./bin/podmanManageZoa.sh load-idml

The command prints the progress of processing IdML books into the PostgreSQL database of the Z Data Discovery Data Service to the screen. It also writes the same output to /tmp/zrdds/IdML_transfer_log.timestamp for later review.

All IdML books that are present in the DLFS are loaded into the Z Resource Discovery Data Service. Neither the Z Resource Discovery Data Service nor the ZOA common components performs maintenance on the DLFS or keeps track of IdML books that are previously loaded. This form of data maintenance must be performed through separate means and procedures.
