I'm receiving MARC records from a collection daily, even though the collection's frequency is not daily

Symptom

  • You are receiving MARC record files daily for a collection with a delivery frequency set to something else

Applies to

  • WorldShare Collection Manager

Resolution

This is likely being caused by titles overlapping between this collection and a different collection which is set to daily. If the "Isolated" checkbox is not selected for a delivery template, records will be delivered to all files where they belong for consistency, regardless of frequency.

For example, you have two collections selected, Collection A and Collection B. Collection A has a delivery frequency of monthly, whereas Collection B has a delivery frequency of daily, and is set to output a full set of records with every delivery. Neither is isolated, but both are set to deliver to specific filenames.

If Title 1 is included in both collections, it will get delivered twice—once for Collection B's daily run, and once for Collection A, for consistency. So while Collection A is not set to daily output, you could receive more frequent files for this collection if titles overlap with other collections.

One additional aspect that may help you determine why a record is delivered is including the Reason for Record Output in your records. To add that to your Collection Manager record customizations, see Customize Records.
