We had Data Import downtime last Thursday; running presently but continuing to correspond with EBSCO.
Our evolving understanding is that Data Import runs on a finite amount of memory, which, when we exhaust it, makes work have to stop until EBSCO allocates yet more memory.
Please alert Joshua or another Team Manager as soon as possible if you are absolutely unable to load records to Data Import so that we can report the issue quickly. This doesn’t include Data Import errors like “completed with errors”. When records are not able to be loaded at all (i.e. the job never completes) this is when we need to file a report.

Please maintain vigilance to avoid including duplicate records in .mrc files you are bringing into Folio.
MarcEdit can be installed if desired to preview .mrc files before loading; can be used to check batches of records for duplicates.
.mrc files can also be opened in NotePad; not easily readable, but you can see the various elements in the display and check to make sure there’s only one copy of a given record.
Duplicate records in a .mrc file loaded into Data Import will result in a single Instance linked to multiple SRS records and there will be problems editing and maintaining the record going forward.
Please make sure that the Instance HRIDs in your 9XX fields match the instances you wish to overlay.
Folio browse contributor not retrieving results: a ticket has been entered with EBSCO to resolve.
Resolved in Test and Production as of 1/24/23
Folio browse subject
Subject headings as indexed include dashes as punctuation in some cases, depending on if the record is in its original migrated form from June 2022 or has been changed since then (or if it’s a new record since then).
Browse subject in Folio therefore behaves very irregularly and the indexes aren’t in order.
VuFind is a viable option while we wait for this to be fixed.
Folio browse call number
ongoing issues with particular sections of LC classification
Tim inquired with Folio community on Slack; there is already a ticket on this; seems to also be connected to original migrated records vs. ongoing cataloging.
VuFind is a good fallback in the meantime.
