SymphonyConnector

Symphony Connector

The Symphony connector relies on Perl scripts which call the Symphony API. As described on the Symphony Install Page page, the Perl scripts are available on the SirsiDynix Developers Community Website.

The connector has successfully been implemented with version 3.4 of SirsiDynix Symphony.

The instructions on the Symphony Install Page page assume the use of a Jetty web server but it should work properly when deployed to a Tomcat server also.

Currently, the connector only returns a subset of the information specified in the NCIP spec for certain services. The list below documents which services (and elements within those services) are supported.
