Legacy Chancellor's Office systems

The Chancellor's Office will be putting in place a few changes to help aid the transition to Alma and Primo.

SFX

  • Will put in place indefinite redirects from SFX to Alma's link resolver for each campus as they go live.
  • Will create a permanent alias – link.calstate.edu – which will redirect to Alma's link resolver, if you'd like to give vendors that link instead
  • Will shut down the test SFX server after all campuses are live with Alma
  • CSU Staff will have continued access to the production SFX server until December 2017 as a reference or to access statistics
    • An historical set of SFX statistics for the most-used queries is available as well.
    • Copy of the SFX archived stats, dating back to 2006, for Queries 1 & 2 from Dropbox
      • Also there are instructions for migrating Archived stats to the OFFLINE tables to run queries against included in this Dropbox folder.
      • Description of SFX Statistic Queries.
    • Copy Query #10 stats from Dropbox
      • Query #10 files from 2015 to current

Xerxes

  • Will remove Link+ from Xerxes after May 26 (the last day to place requests) for those campuses leaving Link+
  • Will put in place redirects from Xerxes' search feature to each campus' Primo instance until June 2018.
