DESCRIPTION

The FOLIO Z39.50 gateway z2folio is configured by a single file, named on the command-line, and expressed in JSON. This file specifies how to connect to FOLIO, how to log in, and how to translate its instance records into MARC.

The structure of the file is pretty simple. There are several top-level section, each described in its own section below, and each of them an object with several keys that can exist in it.

If any string value contains sequences of the form ${NAME}, they are each replaced by the values of the corresponding environment variables $NAME, providing a mechanism for injecting values into the condfiguration. This is useful if, for example, it is necessary to avoid embedding authentication secrets in the configuration file.

okapi

Contains three elements (two mandatory, one optional), all with string values:

• url

  The full URL to the Okapi server that provides the gateway to the FOLIO installation.

• graphqlUrl (optional)

  Usually, the main Okapi URL is used for all interaction with FOLIO: logging in, searching, retrieving records, etc. When the optional =graphqlUrl configuration entry is provided, it is used for GraphQL queries only. This provides a way of "side-loading" mod-graphql, which is useful in at least two situations: when the FOLIO snapshot services are unavailable (since the production services do not presently =included mod-graphql); and when you need to run against a development =version of mod-graphql so you can make changes to its behaviour.

• tenant

  The name of the tenant within that FOLIO installation whose inventory model should be queried.

login

Contains two elements, both with string values:

• username

  The name of the user to log in as, unless overridden by authentication information in the Z39.50 init request.

• password

  The corresponding password, unless overridden by authentication information in the Z39.50 init request.

chunkSize

An integer specifying how many records to fetch from FOLIO with each search. This can be tweaked to tune performance. Setting it too low will result in many requests with small numbers of records returned each time; setting it too high will result in fetching and decoding more records than are actually wanted.

indexMap

Contains any number of elements, all with string values. The keys are the numbers of BIB-1 use attributes, and the corresponding values are those of fields in the FOLIO instance revord to map those access-points to.

graphqlQuery

The name of a file, in the same directory as the main configuration file, which contains the text of the GraphQL query to be used to obtain the instance, holdings and item data pertaining to the records identified by the CQL query.

queryFilter

If specified, this is a CQL query which is automatically anded with every query submitted by the client, so it acts as a filter allowing through only records that satisfy it. This might be used, for example, to specify source=marc to limit search result to only to those FOLIO instance records that were translated from MARC imports.

fieldMap

Contains any number of elements, all with string values. The keys are the names of fields in the FOLIO instance record, and the corresponding values are those of MARC fields to map those fields to.
