There are two lists for testing 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 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 resources will only appear in the NZ, shared resources will not appear in the IZ.
*Local SFX e-resources = IZ
*Inherited/Merged e-resources (normally found in the SFX Chancellor's instance) = NZ
*IZ/NZ/CZ 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:
Case #00230491: unable to add linking parameters to Factiva target. 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.
Case #00203808: ‘Available For’ groups for e-resources are not displaying consistently
Case #00228090: Network Zone search displays duplicate results usually indicated by a greyed out icon.
Case #00229102: depending on the type of search, the library doesn't appear in the list of CSU's in Collection Available For facet
Case #00230721: Proxy login not appearing for e-resources in the NZ
Case #00230491: unable to set up linking parameters for Factiva
Caes #00230811: Wiley Online Journal coverage dates in NZ are incorrect.
(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.
