  2. ALEPHADM • The alephadm client allows the librarian to make changes and modifications in the ALEPH configuration setup in a graphic, windows interface. • The changes can be in language, print configuration, or table modification. • Changes made can effect the global and/or the local environment. Alephadm

  3. ALEPHADM allows you to: • Handle client tables: • Handle libraries • Handle print configurations • Handle application configurations • Handle font definitions • Handle server table changes • Handle languages • Handle error messages Alephadm

  4. Handling Libraries • The Libraries Manager lets you handle the list of libraries that can be used in the client. • It lets you determine and view to which libraries each ALEPH client module can have access. Alephadm

  5. Handling Libraries The Libraries Manager has 4 tabs: Permitted libraries Libraries  Bases for locate  Search bases Alephadm

  6. Permitted Libraries • Permitted libraries define which libraries can be accessed from each module. (per_lib.ini) You can add or remove a library by double- clicking on the appropriate cell. Alephadm

  7. Libraries (library.ini) • Libraries defines the location and PC server port for all the libraries that are accessible through the client. • You can change an entry for one library and apply it to selected/all lines. • Remember that in addition to this definition, the library code must be defined in $alephe/tab/tab_base.lng on the server Alephadm

  8. Libraries You can add or delete a library or move it up and down by using the toolbar. The list of libraries displayed in a client module will be listed in the order defined here. Alephadm

  9. Bases for Locate • The locate function is available in theCataloging, ILL and Search modules and is used in order to find matching records in the same or other databases, local or remote. • Each base listed must also be defined in$alephe/tab/tab_base.lng on the server • The information displayed here is stored in alephcom/tab/locate.dat Alephadm

  10. Bases for Locate Alephadm

  11. Bases for Search • The list of bases for the GUI search determines which bases are offered in the Search module via the Connect to option • The setup of this list can also be updated through Options/Database in the Search module • Each base listed must also be defined in$alephe/tab/tab_base.lng on the server Alephadm

  12. Bases for Search The information displayed in Bases for Search is stored in Sear/tab/base.dat Alephadm

  13. Handling INI files The Application Configuration shows you the standard values and the actual setup of INI files for each module. Alephadm

  14. Handling INI files • The following INI files can be viewed and edited in the Application Configuration: alephcom.ini alephadm.ini acq.ini admin.ini catalog.ini circ.ini jobmgr.ini ill.ini items.ini sear.ini serial.ini Alephadm

  15. Handling INI files • To edit a field, place the cursor on it and double-click. Lines with a field whose value was changed are highlighted in gray. The original is always retained in the right-hand column. Alephadm

  16. Handling INI Files • Clicking on the Default value button brings back the original value of the highlighted line Alephadm

  17. Print Configuration • The Print Configuration allows you to determine the print settings for each module separately. Alephadm

  18. Print Configuration • To edit a field, place the cursor on it and double-click. • Lines with a field whose value was changed are highlighted in gray. Alephadm

  19. Report After the client installation is updated from source, the Report shows the differences between the current and previous Application.INI and/or Print.INI. Alephadm

  20. Report The files that are actually compared are: AL500 1x.x\module\tab\module.ini andAL500 1x.x\module.sav\tab\module.ini If there were no changes the Report remains empty. Alephadm

  21. Profile Manager • In a network installation, the Profile Manager lets you define users and their profile paths. You can add, delete and modify each entry. Alephadm

  22. Handling languages Alephadm

  23. Interface languages • The Conversation Languages command lets you set the Interface Languages that will be available in ALEPH. • You can add, modify or delete a language or set any language as the default. Alephadm

  24. Interface Languages • When updating from an older to a newer version of ALEPH you may keep those parts of the texts which were customized. • Old lines in tables are retained, and new lines are added (in English) Alephadm

  25. Language Manager • The Language Manager lets you choose the module and the language files that you want to work on. You can change all text entries in each of the modules according to the language you choose. Alephadm

  26. Language Manager • The Language Manager shows you which module, which language and which part of the text you are working on. • You always see the original and the new text. Alephadm

  27. Language Manager • When working with the Language Manager you can modify text • Changes are retained by clicking on save. • The restore button allows you to undo saved changes • Global changes of terminology can can be made using the Common Dictionary Alephadm

  28. Common Dictionary • The Common Dictionary displays all text strings of all modules in alphabetical order. There is one Common Dictionary per language. You can look for any letter string. You can change all entries and save your changes. The dictionary shows you the filenames with their paths where the text string is to be found. Alephadm

  29. Common Dictionary Alephadm

  30. Common Dictionary • Save to Filesallows you to save changes • Restore allows you to go back to the former version of the text. • Save Assaves the New Text column to a *.TXT file. The default path and filename is xxx/ Alephadm/Bin/CommonDictionary.TXT • Printsends the list to the printer. • Find allows you to search for a letter string in the New Text column. Alephadm

  31. Language Report After the client installationis updated from source, the Language Report shows the differences between the current and previous versions of text that is displayed in the GUI Alephadm

  32. Language Report accel.daterror.dathint.dat The text is stored in the following files: print.datstatusbr.dattab_col.datwindow.dat menu.datmessage.datmonth.dat They can be found in: …/module/Tab/xxx/*.dat and…/module.sav/Tab/xxx/*.dat You can view and print text for each module separately, or for all the modules together. If there were no changes the Report remains empty. Alephadm

  33. Error Tables Dictionary • The Error Tables Dictionary is part of the ALEPHADM language handling. Contrary to other language handling functions which influence the client only, this option affects server tables. • The Dictionary shows you all error messages from all modules together and lets you edit them. It also shows the matching filename for each error message. Alephadm

  34. Error Tables Dictionary Alephadm

  35. Error Tables Dictionary The error files are located in the server’s alephe_error_<lng> directory. They can be accessed on a one to one basis by using the Tables Navigator. Alephadm

  36. Error Tables Dictionary If you have checked out a file (via the Tables Navigator) - and thereby locked it, you will see this icon next to the filename both from the Error Tables Dictionary and from the Tables Navigator. Alephadm

  37. Error Tables Dictionary If another user has checked out this same file and thereby locked it, you will see this icon next to the filename in the Error Tables Dictionary. Alephadm

  38. Handling of Server Tables Parameter and configuration tables are located mainly in library sub-directories on the server. Tables that function on a higher level - or that are shared by several libraries (databases) are located under $alephe_root. Alephadm

  39. Tables Navigator • Use the Tables Navigator to load, edit and save tables. • The Tables Navigator gives you access to one table per open window. Several tables can be displayed simultaneously. • You can choose between read-only and write mode as well as different display modes. Alephadm

  40. Tables Navigator • Once you have opened the menu Tables | Tables Navigator you can choose the library and directory you want to work in. • The program then offers you a list of tables to choose from. Alephadm

  41. Tables Navigator The list of tables is itself a table. In order that a table display in the list, it must be registered in the library’s /tab/tab_alephadm.lng table Alephadm

  42. Tables Navigator The table contains three work areas: Library selection Alephadm

  43. Tables Navigator Table selection Alephadm

  44. Tables Navigator Command buttons Alephadm

  45. Tables Navigator Get copies the most recent version of a file from the server to your work station. It does not open the file. Check Outgets the fileand locks it from other users. It does not open the file Edit opens a table in a separate window. It is active only if you have previously used get or check out. Alephadm

  46. Tables Navigator • If you double-click on a table in the Tables Selection window that has not been checked out, you will be asked if you want to check it out. • If you click “Yes”, the table will be checked out and will also open in a separate window. Alephadm

  47. Tables Navigator Check Out “gets” the file and locks it on the server for other users accessing the table via ALEPHADM (it is not locked for those accessing it from the server). The lock is in force for a fixed amount of time. Lock info will show until what time the file is checked out and therefore locked. Lock time is set (in seconds) in $alephe_root/pc_server_defaults, parameter file_lock_period Alephadm

  48. Table Lock On the client (alephadm.ini) the variable WarningTimeOut must also be defined. • this variable defines the period of time in which the user will get a warning that the table he is editing is going to be unlocked. • the period of WarningTimeOut must be at least two minutes less than the file lock defined in $alephe_root/pc_server_defaults Alephadm

  49. Tables Navigator File locking: Checked out Not checked out As long as the file is still checked out, it will be marked with a check Alephadm

  50. Table Editing When the file is in opened in Edit mode, a green light displays in the lower left corner of the window. Three minutes before the lock time runs out, the green light turns yellow. Alephadm
