Find information about using the SearchCatalog for testing and troubleshooting FindItem in Relais ILL.

The SearchCatalog is used when testing and troubleshooting FindItem.  It is comparable to FindItem but returns in XML detailed bibliographic information from the record retrieved.  

SearchCatalog uses the 'aid' (obtained using the Authentication service).  Patron credentials can not be sent as part of SearchCatalog.

SearchCatalog

SearchCatalog service URL:

     http://HOSTNAME/dws/catalog/search?aid=${aid}

where ${aid} is the authorization id for the user logged in.  The {aid} is provided by the Authentication service.

For example:

     http://HOSTNAME/dws/catalog/search?aid=YkbOGfBGv6hKLefABkWJP2yYlI8

HTTP Method: POST
