Batch Processes links and tasks list

_{First very rough draft of general links and tasks useful to Batch & Sierra regularly occurring duties}

• ^{started 9/17/2023; updating continually}

General Note

• it’s a good idea to note down how many records there are in a batch file, if that number changes after a batch processes, then you know something went wrong, and the file or the process needs to be checked for problems.

Batch/Sierra list of tasks:

Plan of attack

Start with Cambridge EBA, Taylor & Francis EBA, Safari/O'Reilly subscription, and the YBP discovery records, and the Academic Complete update records.  (One thing to remember is to watch the dates on the ebook discovery and deletes and make sure you load them in order.  In other words, don't load deletes until you have loaded the discovery records with earlier dates.) 

Make sure you use the tracking sheet versions with “current” at the end.

• Academic Complete update records--part of https://usu.app.box.com/file/1321317102096

• Further note:

• just fyi, I'm trying to include any tracking files you might need eventually.  A lot of what I'm adding currently are NOT pressing and could be ignored until you have a day where you want a challenge. 

• Focusing on the weekly and monthly and quarterly (Univ. Press of Colorado ebooks) for now seems like it makes the most sense. 

• Also, I've always tried to keep right up with all streaming video additions/deletions/edits for Gaby.

• pDDA to be deleted emails from Kevin and Tyler

FTP downloads software/app:

Since all browsers have stopped supporting FTP protocols, we will use LIT’s suggestion of the WinSCP software:

• Download for Windows: https://winscp.net/eng/download.php

  • All users

  • Accept all the defaults and lawyer repellant

  • and Open

• type in the vendor’s ftp site address and log in with user name & password:

• 

  A split window will open with your computer on the left; the vendors files on the right:

• Ta Da!
