Introduction

The locations.ini file contains a list of location configuration files. A location configuration file relates the names of locations in a bibliographic record's Locations or Holdings field to their institution symbols, normally three-character OCLC institution symbols.

If you are using OCLC ILL Direct Request with the Direct-to-Lender option, you set up a location configuration file for each catalog database configured to route ILL requests to OCLC ILL Direct Request. If you are using OCLC ILL Direct Request with the Direct-to-Profile option, you may wish to use location configuration files, depending on the way you set up your profiles.

Beginning with SiteSearch 4.1.1, you may also need location configuration files if you are using WebZ to send ILL requests to this system rather than to OCLC ILL Direct Request. (An IPIG-compliant ILL system conforms to the ILL Protocol Implementors Group (IPIG) Profile.)

Upon system startup or when a new JaSSI starts up, the Java class ORG.oclc.isoill.LocationsLoader reads locations.ini to find the location configuration files and then adds the information in these files to the JaSSI.

You can find the locations.ini file in the <WebZ_root>/ini directory, where <WebZ_root> is the directory where you installed SiteSearch.

Sections and Variables in locations.ini

locations.ini has one section, [locations], as follows:

Variable

Description

loc<n>

OR, beginning with version 4.0.2:

loc*

Path and name of the location configuration file a particular database. List multiple location configuration files groups as loc1, loc2, loc3, and so on, or beginning with version 4.0.2, as loc*, loc*, loc*, and so on.

Beginning with version 4.0.2, you can use either numerals or asterisks to list location configuration files, but do not mix the two; use either all numerals or all asterisks. For versions prior to 4.0.2, use numerals only.

The path is relative to your system's top-level directory for .ini files, <WebZ_root>/ini, and should normally be <WebZ_root>/ini/loc/.
