Procedure 5: Modify the Database Configuration File (Optional)

If you changed the name of an existing format in the formatting configuration file or created an entirely new format with a new name, you need to create a reference to it in the [Formats] section of the database configuration file for the current database.

Procedure

Perform the following procedure to update the database configuration file for a new format:

1. Open the affected database configuration file using your text editor.  

2. Reference the new display format in the database configuration file by typing the name of the format and its file path under the [Formats] section.

Example:

[database]
ZBaseDbType=ORG.oclc.db.DbRemoteZ
dbName=Psyc
remoteZDbName=psyc
Longname=PsycFirst
recordSyntax=MARC
SupportsSort=true
ServerName = FirstSearch
ServerIniFile = servers/FirstSearch.ini

[Formats]
full = format/obiv1/MarcArticleFormats.ini
brief = format/obiv1/MarcArticleFormats.ini
bookmark = format/obiv1/MarcArticleFormats.ini
bookmarkfull = format/obiv1/MarcArticleFormats.ini
briefest = format/obiv1/MyFormats.ini
multifull = format/obiv1/MarcArticleFormats.ini
isoill = format/obiv1/MarcArticleILLFormat.ini
fullnf = format/obiv1/MarcArticleFormats.ini
briefnf = format/obiv1/MarcArticleFormats.ini
multifullnf = format/obiv1/MarcArticleFormats.ini
dump = ORG.oclc.fmts.obi.RecordDumper

3. Save and exit the database configuration file.
