Janet,
how about a short plugin threshold (Perl script that evaluates your condition and returns the result as 0 or 1, cf. the section on the "Plug-In Feature" in the SFX Advanced User's Guide) for this complex condition?
Best regards

All,
I would like to use the display logic to cut done the "over exposure" of
EBSCOHOST target on the menu, but I have three things to exclude:
The AZ list
sid = sfxit.com:azlist
MARC It records from our Aleph catalog
sid = sfxit.com:opac_856
Journal records (including the MARC It records) from Primo
sid = primo.exlibrisgroup.com:primo3-Journal-umn_aleph
But, as mentioned in a different context on this list in the past, the
condition field only allows for 100 characters. Is there a way around
this?
About as short as I can make it (and maybe too short), is still too long:
$obj->need('sfx.sid','!~','/az/') && $obj->need('sfx.sid','!~','/opac/') &&
$obj->need('sfx.sid','!~','/aleph/')
What I have for the moment on our test server is this:
$obj->need('sfx.sid','!~','/sfxit.com/') &&
$obj->need('sfx.sid','!~','/umn_aleph/') :
Not a bad compromise, but it does mean folks that use the citation linker
with a full reference, PMID or DOI get all those EBSCO targets.
Does anyone have any ideas??
Thanks, Janet

The "hide multiple targets from the same platform" trick has been around
for a long time. I wonder, is it not mentioned in the documentation or
training?
For Ebsco it should be:
If available: EBSCOHOST* getFullTxt
Do not show: EBSCOHOST* getFullTxt
Condition: $obj->need('sfx.sid','ne','sfxit.com:azlist')
The condition there says: Don't hide the additional Ebsco targets if the
request originated from the SFX A-Z list. So this only applies to
article-level linking.
In the display logic section, the target pull-down menu has these wildcard
entries already available to you.

this? Are there any potential problems with this approach?
i've tried to do that, but for some reason it's stopped working recently
and I haven't had time to investigate why yet. I forget exactly how I did
it.
The one thing to be aware of is you probably only want to do this for
_article level_ links, not title-level links. For a title-level link, the
different EBSCO targets may have different ranges of coverage, so you
wouldn't want to suppress all but one arbitrary one, or you'd be missing
out on advertising complete coverage. So far as I know, there's no way
supported by SFX to suppress targets only when they have overlapping
coverage.
I forget how you do this, but there's some way to get the display logic to
activate only for article-level links. Or at least some way I've used
before that works reasonably okay.
Thanks,
Janet

Hi Janet____
__ __
I can confirm that we are experiencing this issue too (as well as
many other issues arising from our activation of EBSCO API via
Primo).____
__ __
We don't have your number of EBSCO dbs but often (although not
always), when SFX offers multiple EBSCO targets (ANZRef, BSP,
MasterFile etc), EBSCO opens in MasterFile. The client is
happy....the full text article is available. Our statistics have
really changed. Dramatic rise in downloads from MasterFile
accompanied by equally dramatic fall in downloads from other EBSCO
dbs. ____
__ __
Over the last 2 months we have logged multiple customer support
calls about EBSCO issues with Ex Libris and with EBSCO....but not yet
about this issue. I'll get onto it.____

*Subject:* [SFX] SFX and linking to EBSCO question____
__ __
__ __
We are a fairly new Primo/SFX customer and we are heavily involved
with EBSCO (60+ databases). We are struggling to make SFX usable
with our EBSCO databases. We are having many of the linking
problems noted by others on this listserv, and more. ____
____
Today, while once again trying to figure out why linking to EBSCO is
so unreliable, I realized that no matter what EBSCO database link I
click on in the //View Online// tab of an article, all EBSCO links
go to only one database on the EBSCO platform. I would really
appreciate hearing from other Primo/SFX/EBSCO customers to verify
that this is indeed the way it is suppose to work. For
example:____
____

In this record every link goes to the cited article in EBSCO's
Professional Development Collection database. However, I would
expect the first link to go to Academic Search Complete, the second
link to go to Education Research Complete, and so on. ____
