The 3M Standard Interchange Protocol doesn't define PC or PF fields.<br />
Ordinarily the AQ field isn't associated with patrons, it's associated with items and designates their "permanent location".<br />
<br />
The summary field works like this:<br />
<br />
Position&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Definition<br />
0&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; hold items<br />
1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; overdue items<br />
2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; charged items<br />
3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; fine items<br />
4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; recall items<br />
5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; unavailable holds<br />
6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; fee items<br />
<br />
<br />
Despite the fact that there are only 7 defined fields the field length is required to be 10 characters so the last 3 are always spaces. <br />
Placing a Y in any of the fields is basically a request for that field's detailed information is requested in addition to the summary information.<br />
If you do not wish the detailed information then use a space character (ASCII code $20) in that field on the 63 request.<br />
Only one category of items should be requested at a time, so, for example, to get the detailed information on charged items and fine items<br />
you would need to make 2 requests<br />
63002YYYYMMDDZZZZHHMMSS&nbsp;&nbsp; Y.......<br />
and then<br />
63002YYYYMMDDZZZZHHMMSS&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Y.......<br />
Parsing each response for the information requested.<br />
<br />
All of this is based on SIP version 2.<br />

Subject: [Koha] SIP Assistance<br />
<br />
Hello community. <br />
<br />
I am looking for assistance with setting up the
SIPServer for Overdrive access. I am new to SIP and have found various
docs on how to setup SIP with 3M machines, but not a lot about
Overdrive. <br />
I have setup a SIP user as staff with circ access and configured the SIPServer.xml. I can start the SIP service and log in.<br />
When I telnet in to the service, I get the following:<br />
<br />
### telnet session ###<br />
<br />
telnet <a target="_blank" href="http://my.host.org/">my.host.org</a> 8023<br />
Trying 1.11.11.11...<br />
Connected to <a target="_blank" href="http://my.host.org/">my.host.org</a>.<br />
Escape character is '^]'.<br />
login: abcsip<br />
password: driveover<br />

<br />
<br />
###&nbsp; end telnet session ###<br />
<br />
<br />
To me, this looks like it is working. I am able to run a few different AA numbers and get the correct results. <br />
Now for the question. <br />
<br />
I
need to make sure that PC, PF and AQ fields are available and correct. I
see that PC is in my Message 64, but how do I ask for PF and AQ?<br />
I am also a bit lost when it comes to what the summary field is. I set
mine to 0000000000 in the Message 63 to get a 64 that didn't start
64YYYY. <br />
<br />
<br />
Could someone please explain to me how to get at least PC PF and AQ from the Patron Information? <br />
<br />
&nbsp;<br />
What else, if anything,&nbsp; do I have to do in ether the SIP configuration or Koha configuration? <br />
<br />
Thank you for your help,<br />
Mike<br />
