ALMA API Plugin
Dieses Plugin wurde implementiert, um mit ALMA zu kommunizieren. Dank seines allgemeinen Designs kann es aber auch für die Anbindung an andere Systemen über REST verwendet werden.
Übersicht
Einführung
Dieses Plugin wird verwendet, um Anfragen an REST-APIs, z.B. ALMA, zu senden und die zurückgegebenen Antworten zu verarbeiten. Mehrere Befehle können konfiguriert werden, um eine komplizierte Aufgabe zusammenzustellen. Das Plugin führt diese Befehle nacheinander in definierten Reihenfolge aus.
Installation
Zur Nutzung des Plugins muss die Datei plugin_intranda_step_alma_api-base.jar
an folgendem Ort gespeichert werden:
/opt/digiverso/goobi/plugins/step/plugin_intranda_step_alma_api-base.jar
Die Konfigurationsdatei plugin_intranda_step_alma_api.xml
wird unter folgendem Pfad erwartet:
/opt/digiverso/goobi/config/plugin_intranda_step_alma_api.xml
Überblick und Funktionsweise
Dieses Plugin wird in den Workflow so integriert, dass es automatisch ausgeführt wird. Eine manuelle Interaktion mit dem Plugin ist nicht notwendig. Zur Verwendung innerhalb eines Arbeitsschrittes des Workflows sollte es wie im nachfolgenden Screenshot konfiguriert werden.
Konfiguration
Die Konfiguration des Plugins ist beispielhaft folgendermaßen aufgebaut:
<config_plugin>
<!--
order of configuration is:
1.) project name and step name matches
2.) step name matches and project is *
3.) project name matches and step name is *
4.) project name and step name are *
-->
<config>
<!-- which projects to use for (can be more then one, otherwise use *) -->
<project>*</project>
<step>*</step>
<!-- Base URL -->
<url>https://api-eu.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com</url>
<!-- API key -->
<api-key>CHANGE_ME</api-key>
<!-- Variables that can be used for following commands.
@name: name of the variable, e.g. VARIABLE. To use this variable's value, one can simply use {$VARIABLE}.
@value: value to initialize this variable. It can be plain string value, or a Goobi variable, e.g. {meta.NAME} for a Metadata named NAME.
-->
<variable name="MMS_ID" value="{meta.CatalogIDDigital}" />
<!-- There can be multiple variables defined before all commands. -->
<variable name="SIGNATURE" value="{meta.shelfmarksource}" />
<!-- A command is a step to perform. There can be several commands configured, and if so, they will be run one by one in the same order as they are defined.
@method: get | put | post | patch
@accept: json | xml. Used to set up the header parameter 'Accept'. OPTIONAL. DEFAULT json.
@content-type: json | xml. Used to set up the header parameter 'Content-type'. OPTIONAL. DEFAULT json.
@endpoint: raw endpoint string without replacing the placeholders enclosed by {}. For every placeholder say {PLACEHOLDER}, one has to configure it in a
sub-tag, and in our example it would be <PLACEHOLDER>. Options for values of these sub-tags are:
- plain text value
- any variable defined by a <variable> tag before all <command> blocks
- any variable defined by a <target> sub-tag of any previous <command> block
-->
<command method="get" accept="json" content-type="json" endpoint="/almaws/v1/bibs/{mms_id}/holdings/ALL/items">
<!-- define the value of the placeholder {mms_id} using the variable named MMS_ID -->
<mms_id>{$MMS_ID}</mms_id>
<!-- Filter condition that is to be applied on the REST call response. OPTIONAL.
@key: JSON path from which the values are to be fetched for the filtering process
@fallback: JSON path that shall be used when the JSON path configured by @key contains no value. OPTIONAL.
@value: value to be compared with, which can be a plain text value, or a variable defined previously in the format {$VARIABLE}
@alt: alternative option if there is no match found. Options are: all | first | last | random | none. OPTIONAL.
- all: filter nothing out, search the whole JSONObject for the following targets
- first: get the first JSONObject related to the common heading path shared by filter and targets, and search for targets within it
- last: get the last JSONObject related to the common heading path shared by filter and targets, and search for targets within it
- random: get a random JSONObject related to the common heading path shared by filter and targets, and search for targets within it
- none: filter everything out and stop searching. DEFAULT.
-->
<filter key="item.item_data.alternative_call_number" fallback="item.holding_data.permanent_call_number" value="{$SIGNATURE}" alt="all" />
<!-- Target values that is to be retrieved from the REST call response and saved as a variable. OPTIONAL.
@var: name of the variable that is to be used to save the target values retrieved.
If the variable was already defined before, then its value will be updated. Otherwise a new variable under this name will be created.
@path: JSON path from where values are to be retrieved.
-->
<target var="ITEM_PID" path="item.item_data.pid" />
<!-- There can be multiple targets configured. -->
<!-- In this example, the new variable will be named HOLDING_ID and it can be reused in the following steps using {$HOLDING_ID}. -->
<target var="HOLDING_ID" path="item.holding_data.holding_id" />
</command>
<command method ="post" endpoint="/almaws/v1/bibs/{mms_id}/holdings/{holding_id}/items/{item_pid}">
<!-- define the value of the placeholder {mms_id} using the variable named MMS_ID -->
<mms_id>{$MMS_ID}</mms_id>
<!-- define the value of the placeholder {holding_id} using the variable named HOLDING_ID -->
<holding_id>{$HOLDING_ID}</holding_id>
<!-- define the value of the placeholder {item_pid} using the variable named ITEM_PID -->
<item_pid>{$ITEM_PID}</item_pid>
<!-- A parameter tag can be used to define parameters that shall be sent by the REST request. There can be multiple parameters configured. OPTIONAL.
@name: parameter name
@value: parameter value, which can only be plain text values here
-->
<parameter name="op" value="scan" />
<parameter name="library" value="" />
<parameter name="department" value="InDigiZ_Dep" />
<parameter name="work_order_type" value="InDigiZ" />
<parameter name="done" value="false" />
</command>
<!-- A save tag is used to define an entry that is to be saved after running all previous commands. OPTIONAL.
@type: type of the entry, OPTIONS are property | metadata
- property: save the entry as a process property
- metadata: save the entry as a metadata
@name: name of the entry, which means
- property name if @type is "property"
- metadata type name if @type is "metadata"
@value: value of the new process property, possible values are
- a plain text value
- a variable defined before all <command> blocks via a <variable> tag
- a variable defined within some <command> block via a <target> tag
@choice: indicates how many items should be saved into this new property, OPTIONS are first | last | random, or any non-blank strings following a colon.
- first: save only the first one among all retrieved values
- last: save only the last one among all retrieved values
- random: save a random one from all retrieved values
- For any non-blank strings following a colon: the substring following this colon will be used as a whole delimiter to combine all results.
- For all other cases, including the case where there is only one single colon configured: all results will be combined using commas.
@overwrite: true if the old property named so should be reused, false if a new property should be created, DEFAULT false.

<!-- Set up request body. OPTIONAL.
@src: absolute path to the file whose contents shall be used as request body. OPTIONAL. It accepts one of the following both:
- a plain text value stating the absolute path
- a predefined variable containing the absolute path
ATTENTION: one can also use the absolute path of the folder containing this file here, in which case the content of the first file in that folder will be used.
@wrapper: wrappers separated by space that shall be wrapped around the content read from the file. ONLY applicable if @src is configured. OPTIONAL.
The precise way of wrapping depends on the setting of @content-type of the command tag.
For example, say one has wrapper configured as "wrapper1 wrapper2 wrapper3" then:
- If @content-type="json", the file content will be wrapped as {wrapper1: {wrapper2: {wrapper3: {FILE_CONTENT}}}}
- If @content-type="xml", the file content will be wrapped as <wrapper1><wrapper2><wrapper3>{FILE_CONTENT}</wrapper3></wrapper2></wrapper1>
@value: use a plain text value or a predefined variable instead of the content of a file. OPTIONAL. ATTENTION:
- to use a plain text value one has to assure that its format matches the configured @content-type correctly
- to use a variable one has to assure that the format of the variable's value matches the configured @content-type correctly
