Transferring a Record between Databases and Servers
Sometimes a MARC record that you want to open in the MARC Editor is on a different database than the one to which you are logged in. (For example, if you have a production database and a training database, you may want to move records from your production database to your testing database for testing or training purposes.) You can also move records from a different server.
When you send a record to the MARC Editor from a different database, Horizon treats it as a new record that you are importing. This means that you need to save the record after it displays in the MARC Editor in order for it to be indexed in the database to which you send it. Because Horizon does not alter the local (9XX) tags in the record that you send, you may want to edit or delete these tags before you save the record.
To transfer a record between databases and servers
|
1
|
Start the stand-alone staff search process. |
If you cannot find the stand-alone staff search process icon or executable file, see your system administrator to get access to PuiLauncher.exe.
The search process opens the Horizon Sunrise startup dialog box.
|
2
|
Enter the user ID, password, server name, and database name for the Horizon library you want to search. |
|
3
|
If you want to change the login options, click the Options button, and update the fields in the Login Options dialog box. |
The search process displays a Search window.
|
5
|
Search for the record that you want. |
|
6
|
Highlight the title or authority heading. |
|
7
|
Choose Edit, Send To Launcher, or press F10. |
Horizon opens the bib or authority record that you chose in the MARC Editor, but the stand-alone staff search process remains the active window.
|
8
|
If you want to send another record to Horizon from the database you are searching, repeat steps 5 through 7. |
|
9
|
When you finish sending records to the MARC Editor, choose File, Exit to close the stand-alone staff search process. |
|
10
|
Start the new MARC record you want to work with. |
|
11
|
Make any changes you want to the new MARC record. |
Horizon assigns a number to the record and assigns the current date as the creation date.
