Various scripts are included with Evergreen in the /openils/bin/ directory (and in the source code in Open-ILS/src/support-scripts and Open-ILS/src/extras). Some of them are used during the installation process, such as eg_db_config, while others are usually run as cron jobs for routine maintenance, such as fine_generator.pl and hold_targeter.pl. Others are useful for less frequent needs, such as the scripts for importing/exporting MARC records. You may explore these scripts and adapt them for your local needs. You are also welcome to share your improvements or ask any questions on the Evergreen IRC channel or email lists.

Here is a summary of the most commonly used scripts. The script name links to more thorough documentation, if available.

action_trigger_runner.pl — Useful for creating events for specified hooks and running pending events
authority_authority_linker.pl — Links reference headings in authority records to main entry headings in other authority records. Should be run at least once a day (only for changed records).
authority_control_fields.pl — Links bibliographic records to the best matching authority record. Should be run at least once a day (only for changed records). You can accomplish this by running authority_control_fields.pl --days-back=1
autogen.sh — Generates web files used by the OPAC, especially files related to organization unit hierarchy, fieldmapper IDL, locales selection, facet definitions, compressed JS files and related cache key
clark-kent.pl — Used to start and stop the reporter (which runs scheduled reports)
eg_db_config — Creates database and schema, updates config files, sets Evergreen administrator username and password
fine_generator.pl
hold_targeter.pl
marc2are.pl — Converts authority records from MARC format to Evergreen objects suitable for importing via pg_loader.pl (or parallel_pg_loader.pl)
marc2bre.pl — Converts bibliographic records from MARC format to Evergreen objects suitable for importing via pg_loader.pl (or parallel_pg_loader.pl)
marc2sre.pl — Converts serial records from MARC format to Evergreen objects suitable for importing via pg_loader.pl (or parallel_pg_loader.pl)
marc_export — Exports authority, bibliographic, and serial holdings records into any of these formats: USMARC, UNIMARC, XML, BRE, ARE
osrf_control — Used to start, stop and send signals to OpenSRF services
parallel_pg_loader.pl — Uses the output of marc2bre.pl (or similar tools) to generate the SQL for importing records into Evergreen in a parallel fashion

authority_control_fields: Connecting Bibliographic and Authority records

This script matches headings in bibliographic records to the appropriate authority records. When it finds a match, it will add a subfield 0 to the matching bibliographic field.

Here is how the matching works:

Bibliographic field	Authority field it matches	Subfields that it examines
100	100	a,b,c,d,f,g,j,k,l,n,p,q,t,u
110	110	a,b,c,d,f,g,k,l,n,p,t,u
111	111	a,c,d,e,f,g,j,k,l,n,p,q,t,u
130	130	a,d,f,g,h,k,l,m,n,o,p,r,s,t
600	100	a,b,c,d,f,g,h,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t,v,x,y,z
610	110	a,b,c,d,f,g,h,k,l,m,n,o,p,r,s,t,v,w,x,y,z
611	111	a,c,d,e,f,g,h,j,k,l,n,p,q,s,t,v,x,y,z
630	130	a,d,f,g,h,k,l,m,n,o,p,r,s,t,v,x,y,z
648	148	a,v,x,y,z
650	150	a,b,v,x,y,z
651	151	a,v,x,y,z
655	155	a,v,x,y,z
