This article only applies to ILLiad version 9.0 and any previous versions. As of ILLiad 9.1, the OCLC Resource Sharing Settings interface was removed from within the client (the interface used to change Custom Holdings Paths, Custom Holdings Groups, Constant Data, and Direct Request Profiles) and replaced it with a button that links out to the OCLC Interface where the updated settings can be located.
The system uses the constant data record specified in either the OCLCILLArticleCD or OCLCILLLoanCD keys in the ILLiad Customization table (depending on the request type of the transaction being requested) and the values in your WorkFormMapping table to populate the fields of the OCLC work form.
