get_holding

This service retrieves holdings (HOL) information for the Union Catalog document number provided by the user.

X-Service

2. DOC_NUM – 9 (9).

NOTE: Both parameters are mandatory.

Base: The base of the document entered by the user.

Doc_Num: Number of the document for which HOL information is required.

The XML output includes information regarding HOL in a union catalog expand document.

Example:

To get HOL information for Document Number 000000028 located in the USM90 base, enter the following URL:

http://ram19:8995/X?op=get_holding&base=usm90&doc-number=000000028

If all goes well, for each HOL record in the expand document, the XML will look like the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
