SDI in ALEPH
Patrons can specify in the Web OPAC a number of search strings (in CCL format) which will be run through all (or part) of the database at regular intervals.
Each time the search is run and a new match was found, the system will send the bibliographic record, in the requested format, to the patron by email.

Access to SDI (1)
In order to create and update SDI queries, a patron must have:
• A Local User Record (Z305 - at least for the ADM library).
• Appropriate authorization for their profile*:
* Release 12.4 onwards
Z61-SDI-PERMISSION

Access to SDI (2)
The setting up of SDI queries is done from the User screen of the Web OPAC.
It can be accessed only by patrons with a valid log-in/password (or pincode).

The SDI Process
In order to run the SDI searches, pick up their results and mail them to the patrons, a process called p_sdi_01 should run.
Using the job scheduling available in ALEPH (job_list), this process can be set torun at regular intervals.

The SDI Process
When the SDI process runs, it goes through all Z325 records.
Depending on the Search Intervals defined, the Last Action Date and today’s date, it defines which searches should be run today.

The SDI Process
The logical bases defined in the SDI record are taken from alephe/tab/
tab_base.lng.
Either the whole database, or a logical part of it, can be added to the HTML page.
