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 print configurations application configurations 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. ni) i You can add or remove a library by doubleclicking on the appropriate cell. Alephadm
7 Libraries (ibrary. ni) l i • 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_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 the Cataloging, 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_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_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: AL 500 1 x. xmoduletabmodule. ini and AL 500 1 x. xmodule. savtabmodule. 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

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 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 • Restoreallows you to go back to the former version of the text. • Save As saves the New Text column to a *. TXT file. The default path and filename is xxx/ Alephadm/Bin/Common. Dictionary. TXT • Print sends the list to the printer. • Find allows you to search for a letter string in the New Textcolumn. Alephadm
31 Language Report After the client installation is updated from source, the Language Report shows the differences between the current and previous versions of text that is displayed in the GUI Alephadm

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 subdirectories 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 1. Use the Tables Navigator to load, edit and save tables. 2. The Tables Navigator gives you access to one table per open window. Several tables can be displayed simultaneously. 3. You can choose between read-only and write mode as well as different display modes. 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 file and locks it from other users.

48 Table Lock On the client (alephadm. ini) the variable Warning. Time. Out 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 Warning. Time. Out 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
