Viewing the Link Maintenance Report

If your library has acquired Link Maintenance, the ability to maintain links between bibliographic records and their attached records, you can:

• Update the location in bibliographic records to reflect the locations of their attached records.
• Re-sequence the holdings, order, and item records attached to a bibliographic record, sorting the attached records alphabetically by location name.

For more information on this functionality, see Maintaining Record Links.

If your system is set up to maintain record links automatically, it generates a Link Maintenance Report. This report displays the following information:

Start time	Start time of Link Maintenance.
<#>Records examined	Total number of records processed by Link Maintenance. Note that this number might differ from the value in the Admin Corner SYSTEM STATUS window, which indicates "There are <nnnnn> records awaiting link maintenance." The value in the SYSTEM STATUS window reports the number of entries in the Daily Link Maintenance file, which tracks records that need to be examined. The Link Maintenance Report, however, removes any duplicates and processes each record only once, even if it appears multiple times in the Daily Link Maintenance file.
<#>Bibliographic records updated for locations	Total number of bibliographic records for which the location was updated.
<#>Bibliographic records updated for sequencing	Total number of bibliographic records for which the item record sequence was updated.
End time	End time of Link Maintenance.

To view the Link Maintenance Report:

1. Open the Administration Application and choose System Files.
2. Choose Link Maintenance Report.
3. To print the contents of the report, choose Printable View. You also can select and copy portions of the report to paste as text in another document.
4. To clear the contents of the report, choose Clear File.

The system displays the message No report data available after the report contents have been cleared.
