37 <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
39 The Pazpar2 configuration file, together with any referenced XSLT files,
40 govern Pazpar2's behavior as a client, and control the normalization and
41 extraction of data elements from incoming result records, for the
42 purposes of merging, sorting, facet analysis, and display.
46 The file is specified using the option -f on the Pazpar2 command line.
47 There is not presently a way to reload the configuration file without
48 restarting Pazpar2, although this will most likely be added some time
56 The configuration file is XML-structured. It must be well-formed XML. All
57 elements specific to Pazpar2 should belong to the namespace
58 <literal>http://www.indexdata.com/pazpar2/1.0</literal>
59 (this is assumed in the
60 following examples). The root element is named "<literal>pazpar2</literal>".
61 Under the root element are a number of elements which group categories of
62 information. The categories are described below.
65 <refsect2 id="config-threads">
66 <title>threads</title>
68 This section is optional and is supported for Pazpar2 version 1.3.1 and
69 later . It is identified by element "<literal>threads</literal>" which
70 may include one attribute "<literal>number</literal>" which specifies
71 the number of worker-threads that the Pazpar2 instance is to use.
72 A value of 0 (zero) disables worker-threads (all work is carried out
76 <refsect2 id="config-server">
79 This section governs overall behavior of a server endpoint. It is identified
80 by the element "server" which takes an optional attribute, "id", which
81 identifies this particular Pazpar2 server. Any string value for "id"
86 elements are described below. From Pazpar2 version 1.2 this is
89 <variablelist> <!-- level 1 -->
94 Configures the webservice -- this controls how you can connect
95 to Pazpar2 from your browser or server-side code. The
96 attributes 'host' and 'port' control the binding of the
97 server. The 'host' attribute can be used to bind the server to
98 a secondary IP address of your system, enabling you to run
99 Pazpar2 on port 80 alongside a conventional web server. You
100 can override this setting on the command line using the option -h.
109 If this item is given, Pazpar2 will forward all incoming HTTP
110 requests that do not contain the filename 'search.pz2' to the
111 host and port specified using the 'host' and 'port'
112 attributes. The 'myurl' attribute is required, and should provide
113 the base URL of the server. Generally, the HTTP URL for the host
114 specified in the 'listen' parameter. This functionality is
115 crucial if you wish to use
116 Pazpar2 in conjunction with browser-based code (JS, Flash,
117 applets, etc.) which operates in a security sandbox. Such code
118 can only connect to the same server from which the enclosing
119 HTML page originated. Pazpar2s proxy functionality enables you
120 to host all of the main pages (plus images, CSS, etc) of your
121 application on a conventional webserver, while efficiently
122 processing webservice requests for metasearch status, results,
129 <term>icu_chain</term>
132 Specifies character set normalization for relevancy / sorting /
133 mergekey and facets - for the server. These definitions serves as
134 default for services that don't have these given. For the meaning
135 of these settings refer to the
136 <xref linkend="icuchain"/> element inside service.
142 <term>relevance / sort / mergekey / facet</term>
145 Obsolete. Use element icu_chain instead.
151 <term>settings</term>
154 Specifies target settings for the server.. These settings serves
155 as default for all services which don't have these given.
156 The settings element requires one attribute 'src' which specifies
157 a settings file or a directory . If a directory is given all
158 files with suffix <filename>.xml</filename> is read from this
160 <xref linkend="target_settings"/> for more information.
169 This nested element controls the behavior of Pazpar2 with
170 respect to your data model. In Pazpar2, incoming records are
171 normalized, using XSLT, into an internal representation.
172 The 'service' section controls the further processing and
173 extraction of data from the internal representation, primarily
174 through the 'metadata' sub-element.
177 Pazpar2 version 1.2 and later allows multiple service elements.
178 Multiple services must be given a unique ID by specifying
179 attribute <literal>id</literal>.
180 A single service may be unnamed (service ID omitted). The
181 service ID is referred to in the
182 <link linkend="command-init"><literal>init</literal></link> webservice
183 command's <literal>service</literal> parameter.
186 <variablelist> <!-- Level 2 -->
188 <term>metadata</term>
191 One of these elements is required for every data element in
192 the internal representation of the record (see
193 <xref linkend="data_model"/>. It governs
194 subsequent processing as pertains to sorting, relevance
195 ranking, merging, and display of data elements. It supports
196 the following attributes:
199 <variablelist> <!-- level 3 -->
204 This is the name of the data element. It is matched
205 against the 'type' attribute of the
207 in the normalized record. A warning is produced if
208 metadata elements with an unknown name are
210 normalized record. This name is also used to
212 data elements in the records returned by the
213 webservice API, and to name sort lists and browse
223 The type of data element. This value governs any
224 normalization or special processing that might take
225 place on an element. Possible values are 'generic'
226 (basic string), 'year' (a range is computed if
227 multiple years are found in the record). Note: This
228 list is likely to increase in the future.
237 If this is set to 'yes', then the data element is
238 includes in brief records in the webservice API. Note
239 that this only makes sense for metadata elements that
240 are merged (see below). The default value is 'no'.
249 Specifies that this data element is to be used for
250 sorting. The possible values are 'numeric' (numeric
251 value), 'skiparticle' (string; skip common, leading
252 articles), and 'no' (no sorting). The default value is
262 Specifies that this element is to be used to
264 records against the user's query (when ranking is
265 requested). The value is an integer, used as a
266 multiplier against the basic TF*IDF score. A value of
267 1 is the base, higher values give additional
269 elements of this type. The default is '0', which
270 excludes this element from the rank calculation.
276 <term>termlist</term>
279 Specifies that this element is to be used as a
280 termlist, or browse facet. Values are tabulated from
281 incoming records, and a highscore of values (with
282 their associated frequency) is made available to the
283 client through the webservice API.
285 are 'yes' and 'no' (default).
294 This governs whether, and how elements are extracted
295 from individual records and merged into cluster
296 records. The possible values are: 'unique' (include
297 all unique elements), 'longest' (include only the
298 longest element (strlen), 'range' (calculate a range
299 of values across all matching records), 'all' (include
300 all elements), or 'no' (don't merge; this is the
307 <term>mergekey</term>
310 If set to '<literal>required</literal>', the value of this
311 metadata element is appended to the resulting mergekey if
312 the metadata is present in a record instance.
313 If the metadata element is not present, the a unique mergekey
314 will be generated instead.
317 If set to '<literal>optional</literal>', the value of this
318 metadata element is appended to the resulting mergekey if the
319 the metadata is present in a record instance. If the metadata
320 is not present, it will be empty.
323 If set to '<literal>no</literal>' or the mergekey attribute is
324 omitted, the metadata will not be used in the creation of a
331 <term id="facetrule">facetrule</term>
334 Specifies the ICU rule set to be used for normalizing
335 facets. If facetrule is omitted from metadata, the
336 rule set 'facet' is used.
345 This attribute allows you to make use of static database
346 settings in the processing of records. Three possible values
347 are allowed. 'no' is the default and doesn't do anything.
348 'postproc' copies the value of a setting with the same name
349 into the output of the normalization stylesheet(s). 'parameter'
350 makes the value of a setting with the same name available
351 as a parameter to the normalization stylesheet, so you
352 can further process the value inside of the stylesheet, or use
353 the value to decide how to deal with other data values.
356 The purpose of using settings in this way can either be to
357 control the behavior of normalization stylesheet in a database-
358 dependent way, or to easily make database-dependent values
359 available to display-logic in your user interface, without having
360 to implement complicated interactions between the user interface
361 and your configuration system.
366 </variablelist> <!-- attributes to metadata -->
372 <term id="servicexslt" xreflabel="xslt">xslt</term>
375 Defines a XSLT stylesheet. The <literal>xslt</literal>
376 element takes exactly one attribute <literal>id</literal>
377 which names the stylesheet. This can be referred to in target
378 settings <xref linkend="pzxslt"/>.
381 The content of the xslt element is the embedded stylesheet XML
386 <term id="icuchain" xreflabel="icu_chain">icu_chain</term>
389 Specifies a named ICU rule set. The icu_chain element must include
390 attribute 'id' which specifies the identifier (name) for the ICU
392 Pazpar2 uses the particular rule sets for particular purposes.
393 Rule set 'relevance' is used to normalize
394 terms for relevance ranking. Rule set 'sort' is used to
395 normalize terms for sorting. Rule set 'mergekey' is used to
396 normalize terms for making a mergekey and, finally. Rule set 'facet'
397 is normally used to normalize facet terms, unless
398 <xref linkend="facetrule">facetrule</xref> is given for a
402 The icu_chain element must also include a 'locale'
403 attribute which must be set to one of the locale strings
404 defined in ICU. The child elements listed below can be
405 in any order, except the 'index' element which logically
406 belongs to the end of the list. The stated tokenization,
407 transformation and charmapping instructions are performed
408 in order from top to bottom.
410 <variablelist> <!-- Level 2 -->
415 The attribute 'rule' defines the direction of the
416 per-character casemapping, allowed values are "l"
417 (lower), "u" (upper), "t" (title).
422 <term>transform</term>
425 Normalization and transformation of tokens follows
426 the rules defined in the 'rule' attribute. For
427 possible values we refer to the extensive ICU
428 documentation found at the
429 <ulink url="&url.icu.transform;">ICU
430 transformation</ulink> home page. Set filtering
431 principles are explained at the
432 <ulink url="&url.icu.unicode.set;">ICU set and
433 filtering</ulink> page.
438 <term>tokenize</term>
441 Tokenization is the only rule in the ICU chain
442 which splits one token into multiple tokens. The
443 'rule' attribute may have the following values:
444 "s" (sentence), "l" (line-break), "w" (word), and
445 "c" (character), the later probably not being
446 very useful in a pruning Pazpar2 installation.
452 From Pazpar2 version 1.1 the ICU wrapper from YAZ is used.
453 Refer to the <ulink url="&url.yaz.yaz-icu;">yaz-icu</ulink>
454 utility for more information.
460 <term>relevance</term>
463 Specifies the ICU rule set used for relevance ranking.
464 The child element of 'relevance' must be 'icu_chain' and the
465 'id' attribute of the icu_chain is ignored. This
466 definition is obsolete and should be replaced by the equivalent
469 <icu_chain id="relevance" locale="en">..<icu_chain>
479 Specifies the ICU rule set used for sorting.
480 The child element of 'sort' must be 'icu_chain' and the
481 'id' attribute of the icu_chain is ignored. This
482 definition is obsolete and should be replaced by the equivalent
485 <icu_chain id="sort" locale="en">..<icu_chain>
492 <term>mergekey</term>
495 Specifies ICU tokenization and transformation rules
496 for tokens that are used in Pazpar2's mergekey.
497 The child element of 'mergekey' must be 'icu_chain' and the
498 'id' attribute of the icu_chain is ignored. This
499 definition is obsolete and should be replaced by the equivalent
502 <icu_chain id="mergekey" locale="en">..<icu_chain>
512 Specifies ICU tokenization and transformation rules
513 for tokens that are used in Pazpar2's facets.
514 The child element of 'facet' must be 'icu_chain' and the
515 'id' attribute of the icu_chain is ignored. This
516 definition is obsolete and should be replaced by the equivalent
519 <icu_chain id="facet" locale="en">..<icu_chain>
526 <term>settings</term>
529 Specifies target settings for this service. Refer to
530 <xref linkend="target_settings"/>.
539 Specifies timeout parameters for this service.
540 The <literal>timeout</literal>
541 element supports the following attributes:
542 <literal>session</literal>, <literal>z3950_operation</literal>,
543 <literal>z3950_session</literal> which specifies
544 'session timeout', 'Z39.50 operation timeout',
545 'Z39.50 session timeout' respectively. The Z39.50 operation
546 timeout is the time Pazpar2 will wait for an active Z39.50/SRU
547 operation before it gives up (times out). The Z39.50 session
548 time out is the time Pazpar2 will keep the session alive for
549 an idle session (no operation).
552 The following is recommended but not required:
553 z3950_operation (30) < session (60) < z3950_session (180) .
554 The default values are given in parantheses.

615 The include facility requires Pazpar2 version 1.2.
619 <refsect1 id="target_settings">
620 <title>TARGET SETTINGS</title>
622 Pazpar2 features a cunning scheme by which you can associate various
623 kinds of attributes, or settings with search targets. This can be done
624 through XML files which are read at startup; each file can associate
625 one or more settings with one or more targets. The file format is generic
626 in nature, designed to support a wide range of application requirements. The
627 settings can be purely technical things, like, how to perform a title
628 search against a given target, or it can associate arbitrary name=value
629 pairs with groups of targets -- for instance, if you would like to
630 place all commercial full-text bases in one group for selection
631 purposes, or you would like to control what targets are accessible
632 to users by default. Per-database settings values can even be used
633 to drive sorting, facet/termlist generation, or end-user interface display
638 During startup, Pazpar2 will recursively read a specified directory
639 (can be identified in the pazpar2.cfg file or on the command line), and
640 process any settings files found therein.
644 Clients of the Pazpar2 webservice interface can selectively override
645 settings for individual targets within the scope of one session. This
646 can be used in conjunction with an external authentication system to
647 determine which resources are to be accessible to which users. Pazpar2
648 itself has no notion of end-users, and so can be used in conjunction
649 with any type of authentication system. Similarly, the authentication
650 tokens submitted to access-controlled search targets can similarly be
651 overridden, to allow use of Pazpar2 in a consortial or multi-library
652 environment, where different end-users may need to be represented to
653 some search targets in different ways. This, again, can be managed
654 using an external database or other lookup mechanism. Setting overrides
655 can be performed either using the
656 <link linkend="command-init">init</link> or the
657 <link linkend="command-settings">settings</link> webservice
662 In fact, every setting that applies to a database (except pz:id, which
663 can only be used for filtering targets to use for a search) can be overridden
664 on a per-session basis. This allows the client to override specific CCL fields
665 for searching, etc., to meet the needs of a session or user.
669 Finally, as an extreme case of this, the webservice client can
670 introduce entirely new targets, on the fly, as part of the
671 <link linkend="command-init">init</link> or
672 <link linkend="command-settings">settings</link> command.
673 This is useful if you desire to manage information
674 about your search targets in a separate application such as a database.
675 You do not need any static settings file whatsoever to run Pazpar2 -- as
676 long as the webservice client is prepared to supply the necessary
677 information at the beginning of every session.
682 The following discussion of practical issues related to session
683 and settings management are cast in terms of a user interface based on
684 Ajax/Javascript technology. It would apply equally well to many other
685 kinds of browser-based logic.
690 Typically, a Javascript client is not allowed to directly alter the
691 parameters of a session. There are two reasons for this. One has to do
692 with access to information; typically, information about a user will
693 be stored in a system on the server side, or it will be accessible in
694 some way from the server. However, since the Javascript client cannot
695 be entirely trusted (some hostile agent might in fact 'pretend' to be
696 a regular ws client), it is more robust to control session settings
697 from scripting that you run as part of your webserver. Typically, this
698 can be handled during the session initialization, as follows:
702 Step 1: The Javascript client loads, and asks the webserver for a
703 new Pazpar2 session ID. This can be done using a Javascript call, for
704 instance. Note that it is possible to submit Ajax HTTPXmlRequest calls
705 either to Pazpar2 or to the webserver that Pazpar2 is proxying
706 for. See (XXX Insert link to Pazpar2 protocol).
710 Step 2: Code on the webserver authenticates the user, by database lookup,
711 LDAP access, NCIP, etc. Determines which resources the user has access to,
712 and any user-specific parameters that are to be applied during this session.
716 Step 3: The webserver initializes a new Pazpar2 settings, and sets
717 user-specific parameters as necessary, using the init webservice
718 command. A new session ID is returned.
722 Step 4: The webserver returns this session ID to the Javascript
723 client, which then uses the session ID to submit searches, show
728 Step 5: When the Javascript client ceases to use the session,
729 Pazpar2 destroys any session-specific information.
733 <title>SETTINGS FILE FORMAT</title>
735 Each file contains a root element named <settings>. It may
736 contain one or more <set> elements. The settings and set
737 elements may contain the following attributes. Attributes in the set
738 node overrides those in the setting root element. Each set node must
739 specify (directly, or inherited from the parent node) at least a
740 target, name, and value.
748 This specifies the search target to which this setting should be
749 applied. Targets are identified by their Z39.50 URL, generally
750 including the host, port, and database name, (e.g.
751 <literal>bagel.indexdata.com:210/marc</literal>).
752 Two wildcard forms are accepted:
753 * (asterisk) matches all known targets;
754 <literal>bagel.indexdata.com:210/*</literal> matches all
755 known databases on the given host.
758 A precedence system determines what happens if there are
759 overlapping values for the same setting name for the same
760 target. A setting for a specific target name overrides a
761 setting which specifies target using a wildcard. This makes it
762 easy to set defaults for all targets, and then override them
763 for specific targets or hosts. If there are
764 multiple overlapping settings with the same name and target
765 value, the 'precedence' attribute determines what happens.
768 For Pazpar2 1.6.4 or later, the target ID may be user-defined, in
769 which case, the actual host, port, etc is given by setting
770 <xref linkend="pzurl"/>.
778 The name of the setting. This can be anything you like.
779 However, Pazpar2 reserves a number of setting names for
780 specific purposes, all starting with 'pz:', and it is a good
781 idea to avoid that prefix if you make up your own setting
782 names. See below for a list of reserved variables.
790 The value of the setting. Generally, this can be anything you
791 want -- however, some of the reserved settings may expect
792 specific kinds of values.
797 <term>precedence</term>
800 This should be an integer. If not provided, the default value
801 is 0. If two (or more) settings have the same content for
802 target and name, the precedence value determines the outcome.
803 If both settings have the same precedence value, they are both
804 applied to the target(s). If one has a higher value, then the
805 value of that setting is applied, and the other one is ignored.
812 By setting defaults for target, name, or value in the root
813 settings node, you can use the settings files in many different
814 ways. For instance, you can use a single file to set defaults for
815 many different settings, like search fields, retrieval syntaxes,
816 etc. You can have one file per server, which groups settings for
817 that server or target. You could also have one file which associates
818 a number of targets with a given setting, for instance, to associate
819 many databases with a given category or class that makes sense
820 within your application.
824 The following examples illustrate uses of the settings system to
825 associate settings with targets to meet different requirements.
829 The example below associates a set of default values that can be
830 used across many targets. Note the wildcard for targets.
831 This associates the given settings with all targets for which no
832 other information is provided.
834 <settings target="*">
836 <!-- This file introduces default settings for pazpar2 -->
838 <!-- mapping for unqualified search -->
839 <set name="pz:cclmap:term" value="u=1016 t=l,r s=al"/>
841 <!-- field-specific mappings -->
842 <set name="pz:cclmap:ti" value="u=4 s=al"/>
843 <set name="pz:cclmap:su" value="u=21 s=al"/>
844 <set name="pz:cclmap:isbn" value="u=7"/>
845 <set name="pz:cclmap:issn" value="u=8"/>
846 <set name="pz:cclmap:date" value="u=30 r=r"/>
848 <set name="pz:limitmap:title" value="rpn:@attr 1=4 @attr 6=3"/>
849 <set name="pz:limitmap:date" value="ccl:date"/>
851 <!-- Retrieval settings -->
853 <set name="pz:requestsyntax" value="marc21"/>
854 <set name="pz:elements" value="F"/>
856 <!-- Query encoding -->
857 <set name="pz:queryencoding" value="iso-8859-1"/>
859 <!-- Result normalization settings -->
861 <set name="pz:nativesyntax" value="iso2709"/>
862 <set name="pz:xslt" value="../etc/marc21.xsl"/>
870 The next example shows certain settings overridden for one target,
871 one which returns XML records containing DublinCore elements, and
872 which furthermore requires a username/password.
874 <settings target="funkytarget.com:210/db1">
875 <set name="pz:requestsyntax" value="xml"/>
876 <set name="pz:nativesyntax" value="xml"/>
877 <set name="pz:xslt" value="../etc/dublincore.xsl"/>
879 <set name="pz:authentication" value="myuser/password"/>
885 The following example associates a specific name/value combination
886 with a number of targets. The targets below are access-restricted,
887 and can only be used by users with special credentials.

899 <title>RESERVED SETTING NAMES</title>
901 The following setting names are reserved by Pazpar2 to control the
902 behavior of the client function.
907 <term>pz:cclmap:xxx</term>
910 This establishes a CCL field definition or other setting, for
911 the purpose of mapping end-user queries. XXX is the field or
912 setting name, and the value of the setting provides parameters
913 (e.g. parameters to send to the server, etc.). Please consult
914 the YAZ manual for a full overview of the many capabilities of
915 the powerful and flexible CCL parser.
918 Note that it is easy to establish a set of default parameters,
919 and then override them individually for a given target.
923 <varlistentry id="requestsyntax">
924 <term>pz:requestsyntax</term>
927 This specifies the record syntax to use when requesting
928 records from a given server. The value can be a symbolic name like
929 marc21 or xml, or it can be a Z39.50-style dot-separated OID.
934 <term>pz:elements</term>
937 The element set name to be used when retrieving records from a
943 <term>pz:piggyback</term>
946 Piggybacking enables the server to retrieve records from the
947 server as part of the search response in Z39.50. Almost all
948 servers support this (or fail it gracefully), but a few
949 servers will produce undesirable results.
950 Set to '1' to enable piggybacking, '0' to disable it. Default
951 is 1 (piggybacking enabled).
956 <term>pz:nativesyntax</term>
959 Specifies how Pazpar2 shoule map retrieved records to XML. Currently
960 supported values are <literal>xml</literal>,
961 <literal>iso2709</literal> and <literal>txml</literal>.
964 The value <literal>iso2709</literal> makes Pazpar2 convert retrieved
965 MARC records to MARCXML. In order to convert to XML, the exact
966 chacater set of the MARC must be known (if not, the resulting
967 XML is probably not well-formed). The character set may be
969 <literal>;charset=</literal><replaceable>charset</replaceable> to
970 <literal>iso2709</literal>. If omitted, a charset of
971 MARC-8 is assumed. This is correct for most MARC21/USMARC records.
974 The value <literal>txml</literal> is like <literal>iso2709</literal>
975 except that records are converted to TurboMARC instead of MARCXML.
978 The value <literal>xml</literal> is used if Pazpar2 retrieves
979 records that are already XML (no conversion takes place).
985 <term>pz:queryencoding</term>
988 The encoding of the search terms that a target accepts. Most
989 targets do not honor UTF-8 in which case this needs to be specified.
990 Each term in a query will be converted if this setting is given.
996 <term>pz:negotiation_charset</term>
999 Sets character set for Z39.50 negotiation. Most targets do not support
1000 this, and some will even close connection if set (crash on server
1001 side or similar). If set, you probably want to set it to
1002 <literal>UTF-8</literal>.
1008 <term id="pzxslt" xreflabel="pz:xslt">pz:xslt</term>
1011 Is a comma separated list of of stylesheet names that specifies
1012 how to convert incoming records to the internal representation.
1015 For each name, the embedded stylesheets (XSL) that comes with the
1016 service definition are consulted first and takes precedence over
1017 external files; see <xref linkend="servicexslt"/>
1018 of service definition).
1019 If the name does not match an embedded stylesheet it is
1020 considered a filename.
1023 The suffix of each file specifies the kind of tranformation.
1024 Suffix "<literal>.xsl</literal>" makes an XSL transform. Suffix
1025 "<literal>.mmap</literal>" will use the MMAP transform (described below).
1028 The special value "<literal>auto</literal>" will use a file
1029 which is the <link linkend="requestsyntax">pz:requestsyntax's</link>
1031 <literal>'.xsl'</literal>.
1034 When mapping MARC records, XSLT can be bypassed for increased
1035 performance with the alternate "MARC map" format. Provide the
1036 path of a file with extension ".mmap" containing on each line:
1038 <field> <subfield> <metadata element></programlisting>
1045 To map the field value specify a subfield of '$'. To store a
1046 concatenation of all subfields, specify a subfield of '*'.
1051 <term>pz:authentication</term>
1054 Sets an authentication string for a given server. See the section on
1055 authorization and authentication for discussion.
1060 <term>pz:allow</term>
1063 Allows or denies access to the resources it is applied to. Possible
1064 values are '0' and '1'.
1065 The default is '1' (allow access to this resource).
1066 See the manual section on authorization and authentication for
1067 discussion about how to use this setting.
1072 <term>pz:maxrecs</term>
1075 Controls the maximum number of records to be retrieved from a
1076 server. The default is 100.
1084 This setting can't be 'set' -- it contains the ID (normally
1085 ZURL) for a given target, and is useful for filtering --
1086 specifically when you want to select one or more specific
1087 targets in the search command.
1092 <term>pz:zproxy</term>
1095 The 'pz:zproxy' setting has the value syntax
1096 'host.internet.adress:port', it is used to tunnel Z39.50
1097 requests through the named Z39.50 proxy.
1103 <term>pz:apdulog</term>
1106 If the 'pz:apdulog' setting is defined and has other value than 0,
1107 then Z39.50 APDUs are written to the log.
1116 This setting enables
1117 <ulink url="&url.sru;">SRU</ulink>/<ulink url="&url.solr;">SOLR</ulink>
1119 It has four possible settings.
1120 'get', enables SRU access through GET requests. 'post' enables SRU/POST
1121 support, less commonly supported, but useful if very large requests are
1122 to be submitted. 'srw' enables the SRW (SRU over SOAP) variation of
1126 A value of 'solr' anables SOLR client support. This is supported
1127 for Pazpar version 1.5.0 and later.
1133 <term>pz:sru_version</term>
1136 This allows SRU version to be specified. If unset Pazpar2
1137 will the default of YAZ (currently 1.2). Should be set
1138 to 1.1 or 1.2. For SOLR, the current supported/tested version is 1.4
1144 <term>pz:pqf_prefix</term>
1147 Allows you to specify an arbitrary PQF query language substring.
1148 The provided string is prefixed the user's query after it has been
1149 normalized to PQF internally in pazpar2.
1150 This allows you to attach complex 'filters' to queries for a given
1151 target, sometimes necessary to select sub-catalogs
1152 in union catalog systems, etc.
1158 <term>pz:pqf_strftime</term>
1161 Allows you to extend a query with dates and operators.
1162 The provided string allows certain substitutions and serves as a
1164 The special two character sequence '%%' gets converted to the
1165 original query. Other characters leading with the percent sign are
1166 conversions supported by strftime.
1167 All other characters are copied verbatim. For example, the string
1168 <literal>@and @attr 1=30 @attr 2=3 %Y %%</literal>
1169 would search for current year combined with the original PQF (%%).
1175 <term>pz:sort</term>
1178 Specifies sort criteria to be applied to the result set.
1179 Only works for targets which support the sort service.
1185 <term>pz:recordfilter</term>
1188 Specifies a filter which allows Pazpar2 to only include
1189 records that meet a certain criteria in a result.
1190 Unmatched records will be ignored.
1191 The filter takes the form name, name~value, or name=value, which
1192 will include only records with metadata element (name) that has the
1193 substring (~value) given, or matches exactly (=value).
1194 If value is omitted all records with the named metadata element
1195 present will be included.
1201 <term>pz:preferred</term>
1204 Specifies that a target is preferred, e.g. possible local, faster
1205 target. Using block=pref on show command will wait for all these
1206 targets to return records before releasing the block.
1207 If no target is preferred, the block=pref will identical to block=1,
1208 which release when one target has returned records.
1214 <term>pz:block_timeout</term>
1217 (Not yet implemented).
1218 Specifies the time for which a block should be released anyway.
1224 <term>pz:facetmap:<replaceable>name</replaceable></term>
1227 Specifies that for field <replaceable>name</replaceable>, the target
1228 supports (native) facets. The value is the name of the
1229 field on the target.
1233 At this point only SOLR targets have been tested with this
1240 <varlistentry id="limitmap">
1241 <term>pz:limitmap:<replaceable>name</replaceable></term>
1244 Specifies attributes for limiting a search to a field - using
1245 the limit parameter for search. In some cases the mapping of
1246 a field to a value is identical to an existing cclmap field; in
1247 other cases the field must be specified in a different way - for
1248 example to match a complete field (rather than parts of a subfield).
1251 The value of limitmap may have one of two forms: referral to
1252 an exisiting CCL field or a raw PQF string. Leading string
1253 determines type; either <literal>ccl:</literal> for CCL field or
1254 <literal>rpn:</literal> for PQF/RPN.
1258 The limitmap facility is supported for Pazpar2 version 1.6.0.
1264 <varlistentry id="pzurl">
1268 Specifies URL for the target and overrides the target ID.
1272 <literal>pz:url</literal> is only recognized for
1273 Pazpar2 1.6.4 and later.
1279 <varlistentry id="pzsortmap">
1280 <term>pz:sortmap:<replaceable>field</replaceable></term>
1283 Specifies native sorting for a target where
1284 <replaceable>field</replaceable> is a sort criteria (see command
1285 show). The value has to components separated by colon: strategy and
1286 native-field. Strategy is one of <literal>z3950</literal>,
1287 <literal>type7</literal>, <literal>cql</literal>,
1288 <literal>sru11</literal>, or <literal>embed</literal>.
1289 The second component, native-field, is the field that is recognized
1294 Only supported for Pazpar2 1.6.4 and later.
