Patron Request Service Version History

Version 1.2.0.0

released 2 June 2014

• This version should only be used by sites running ILLiad 8.5 or higher.
• New statuses created for ILLiad 8.5 (In Transit to Pickup Location, etc.) are now included.

• Now uses version 4.0 of the .NET Framework, previously used .NET 2.0.

Version 1.1.1.0

released 13 March 2012

• Changed so that serviceDetails element is not included if empty.
• Corrected addition identifier field lookup so that it passes in the requiring namespace manager when doing SelectSingleNode.
• Corrected the ILLStatus processing logic to be moved out of the request type specific processing branches. This allows cancellation processing logic to perform as expected.
• Added Windows Server 2008 R2 support to the Patron Request Service installer.

Version 1.1.0.0

released 4 January 2012

• Validated PatronRequestAPI RTM mapping against new schema/mapping.
  • Moved Book Volume and Journal Publisher fields from additionalIdentifier to additionalDescription.
  • Added two new additionalIdentifiers now supported in WorldCat: DOI (Digital Object Identifier) and PMID (Pub Med Identifier
  • Removed mapping of MARC 260$c (Pub Date) for Journals and Articles, since 260$c carries the Journal's original pub date, not the part pub date of the issue being requested.
• Updated RTM ItemFormats schema
• Provided support for cancelling loan requests by updating cancellation logic for loans.
• Updated to check for ILLiad request limit and return error number 204 if exceeded.
  Use the status line SLActiveRequestsWithLimit with replacement tags of <#ACTIVEREQUESTS> and <#REQUESTLIMIT> to return an errorValue string stating the patron's current request limit.

Corrected Issues

• Article requests at the status of Delivered to Web display correctly in the Navigator Patron UI.
• ILLiad Patron Request Service correctly parses item data using the 'page' element instead of the 'pages' element.
• ILLiad Patron Request Service correctly sends output as UTF-8 encoding.

Version 1.0.13.0

released April 1, 2011

• Corrected an issue that prevented delivery locations at shared server sites to view requests from the patron interface.

Version 1.0.12.0

• Authentication type for users created by web service can now be set using tags in the ILL.xml configuration files. The fields are: UseNote10ForUsername, Note10AuthType, UIDAuthType. The UseNote10ForUsername is a Yes/No value. The Note10AuthType and UIDAuthType fields correspond to what value should go into the AuthType field for that user record. Some sites expressed the desire to have the authtype be a different value if a Note10 value was found versus if there was only a UID.

Version 1.0.11.0

• The "DateRequested" field is now populated based on the request history, rather than the "TransactionDate" field.

Version 1.0.10.0

• The request retrieval service no longer excludes requests in the "Cancelled by Customer" or "Cancelled by ILL Staff" statuses.

Version 1.0.9.0

• Corrected an issue that was causing errors to occur when attempting to retrieve requests in certain statuses.

Version 1.0.8.0

released February 17, 2010

• Corrected an issue with invalid due dates that caused a service exception when attempting to determine if a request could be renewed.
• Only active requests are returned from the GetRequests service.
• The service should no longer return a 202 error when the transaction was actually created but a status update fails (usually from a routing rule error).
• New users will now only be created when invoking the place request service.

Version 1.0.7.0

• Corrected an error in the processing of the condition of supply field that was causing an exception due to a null value.
• Changed the way we retrieve the user's username from the EZProxy user document.  The system now checks for a value in the note10 field and uses that in place of the uid field if a value exists.

Version 1.0.6.0

• Corrected a condition with user creation that was causing the system to attempt to recreate a user that had just been created.
