Download your files and records using My Files, located under the Metadata tab in the WorldShare interface. You do not need additional credentials to download records from the WorldShare interface. You also have SFTP options.
See Record output and timing for an output schedule for files of records and timing by collection type.
To download a file using My Files:
Files include no more than 100,000 records each. Batches of records that include more than 100,000 records will be split into multiple files with successive files extensions.
Your files are retained both on the server and in the WorldShare interface for 90 days. You can download a file multiple times.
Note: Collection Manager output files older than 7 days will be compressed (i.e., zipped) in order to improve performance. Compressed files are given the .zip extension but retain their original file name (e.g., metacoll.OCWMS.new.D20170612.T141740.1.mrc becomes metacoll.OCWMS.new.D20170612.T141740.1.mrc.zip).
It is recommended that you process record files in date order. When processing records for a specific date, it is recommended that they are processed in the following order: Deletes, New, Merges, and Updates. See Criteria for new, update, delete, and merged records for more information.
