There are two lists for testing Full Text e-resources migrated from SFX to Alma.
- The Task List includes items for e-resources that we know do not migrate from SFX to Alma and will need to be set up post-migration.
- The Check List includes items that should migrate from SFX to Alma but need testing to ensure the e-resources migrated correctly and are functional.
Each lists has a Reference column with links to documentation, instructions or testing materials that can be used for the post-migration checks and tasks. Some of this information is available on the wiki under the ERM Task Force page, in the Alma ERM Resources section. Reminder that FULL TEXT SFX data was migrated at the end of March, any target or portfolio changes made to SFX after March will not be reflected in Alma.
Please use to test your Institutional Zone (IZ) and the Network Zone (NZ). Your inherited/merged FULL TEXT resources will only appear in the NZ, shared resources will not appear in the IZ.
*Local SFX e-resources = IZ
*Inherited/Merged FULL TEXT e-resources (normally found in the SFX Chancellor's instance) = NZ (AVAILABLE FOR=electronic collection HELD BY=migrate ILS record)
*Not sure why some records landed where they did? Check Mallory's Migration Decision Tree diagram shows where records migrated.
*The Task Force will create finalized lists to be used for Go-Live from these two forms.
*Please return these two forms by July 29th, 2016.
We are asking libraries to fill out the lists and return both lists to the ERM Task Force chairs:

Known issues: (to look up cases in SalesForce: Go to Search Cases > Choose MY CONSORTIUM under Case Options > type in Case # in Case Number field > Click on Search)
Case #00203808: ‘Available For’ groups for e-resources are not displaying consistently. UPDATE: is now missing for more NZ e-collections. Look at Collection Available For facet to confirm your library is sharing e-collection.
Case #00228090: Network Zone search displays duplicate results usually indicated by a greyed out icon (we are calling these "ghost" records in the NZ).
Case #00229102: depending on the type of search, the library doesn't appear in the list of CSU's in Collection Available For facet *UPDATE & Correction: Ex Libris re-indexed the NZ and thought they had fixed the facets but they haven't been corrected for all e-resource.
Case #00230721: Proxy login not appearing for e-resources in the NZ when e-collection needs linking parameters.
Case #00236266: Proxy login not appearing for e-resources in the NZ that do not require linking parameters.
Case #00230491: unable to set up linking parameters for Factiva CSU only uses SID parameter and according to notes, if you use SID, do not fill in the other parameters but Alma won't let use same parameters with only SID. *UPDATE: Ex Libris able to repeat error, issue sent to developers.
Case #00230811: Wiley Online Journal coverage dates in NZ are incorrect. *UPDATE: coverage dates were incorrect in the migration form. Form will need to be fixed before last migration.
Case #00231285: CSUN seeing No Full Text Available message when clicking on View It in NZ e-Resources. Same for CSUF, CSUSM, STANISLAUS,SDSU. See the issue in Primo. *UPDATE: Ex Libris is able to recreate the problem on their server, sending issue to developers.
Case #00234556: PLOS - Public Library of Science Free is a merged target in SFX but does not appear in the NZ and unable to locate in the CZ. *UPDATE: PLOS is incorrectly coded as a physical item, being sent to data services team.
Case #00235510: SFX Chancellor's instance locally created (LCL) targets do not migrate to Alma. Will need to be set up manually and linked to the CZ.
(not a CSU case): When setting ‘Available For’ groups in the NZ for the Service level and passing special parameters (like CUST_ID or CLIENT_ID) from the Available For group, the special parameter is not being passed to the service. The issue results in the following – for example, CUST_ID will not be copied from the Available For groups in the NZ to the parser URL.
