Disassociated Instances and MARC SRS: how to resolve
Recall how underlying MARC Source Record Storage is the “source of truth” for Instance records in Folio; see here: https://msults.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/TSdoc/pages/1971191809/FOLIO+apps+records+overview#FOLIOapps%26recordsoverview-Inventory%3AInstances%2Choldings%2Canditems
If the linkage between a MARC SRS record and an Instance record is severed, the Instance becomes effectively unusable for us (and the MARC record becomes orphaned data that we can’t see anymore).
We can call these “disassociated Instances”.
Many of these introduced when EBSCO accidentally deleted and then restored Instances implicated in an order migration project.
Instances restored in this way are not usable; a new Instance (with a new underlying MARC record) is required and any orders must be moved to new Instance; old Instance to be marked for deletion.
Joshua demonstrated the process.

Updates to job profile CAT2 (and prospectively to all overlays)
Updated to eliminate manual steps of: adding cat date, adding instance status, removing suppression.
If working as expected, will roll out to other overlay job profiles.
Joshua demonstrated use of new CAT2.
