I’d be glad to provide pointers to you or anyone else off list. Or you can send specific queries to the CORAL users discussion list (coral-user@lists.coral-erm.org).

One other thing: I’ve found a couple of other ERM vendors’ documentation on SUSHI to be a helpful guide even though we don’t use their systems:

Hi Steve,

 

I’ve had no success getting SUSHI to work with ProQuest or GALE (nor with several others via our Sirsi Dynix-hosted instance of CORAL), tho I was grateful for the GALE URL you provided. We got precisely the same error message you did when we tried it however.

 

Intrigued to hear that you have had success with so many vendors in setting up SUSHI; I have been very frustrated trying to get the connections set up and running correctly. Still stuck on Elsevier, Wiley, ITHAKA, McGraw-Hill,  plus ProQuest and GALE.

 

Even when I am able to set up a SUSHI connection and run successful tests with a vendor, those uploads do not appear to be running on schedule. So I must run them manually – on the SUSHI page in the Usage module, the date in the “Latest Run” column is always the date I managed to run a successful test of the SUSHI connection.

 

TBH, All this has left me skeptical of SUSHI’s capabilities, and CORAL’s. But its early days in my experience with both, so remaining hopoeful.

 

Ultimately, I’ve resorted to getting the Sirsi Dynix and GALE tech reps on a conf call to resolve this. This will occur this week; if anything useful results, I will update with that info. 

 

Cheers,

Subject: [SERIALST] connecting to Gale or ProQuest SUSHI services

 

Sent to SERIALST and ERIL-L. 

 

I’m curious whether anyone has successfully connected to Gale’s or ProQuest’s SUSHI service.

 

ProQuest does not seem to provide instructions that are readily found or logically placed, e.g. I’ve looked everywhere I can think of in their admin module to no avail. They are listed as supporting SUSHI on the Project COUNTER site and I’ve reached out to the person listed there as their contact but haven’t heard a response yet.

 

Gale at least provides instructions that I was able to find (see https://support.gale.com/technical/sushi) but the SUSHI request I initiate (via CORAL, our open source ERM) generates the following error and their support staff’s response is that this is a problem on CORAL’s end. It may be, but I’ve successfully set up over 50 other vendors without encountering this issue, so I’m doubtful at this stage.

 

Using COUNTER wsdl, connecting to http://sushi.galegroup.com/gale-sushi-service/services/SushiServicePort

 

-- Soap Connection successfully completed --

 

Exception performing GetReport with connection to Gale (GOLD): org.xml.sax.SAXException: SimpleDeserializer encountered a child element, which is NOT expected, in something it was trying to deserialize.

DB1 successfully retrieved from Gale (GOLD) for start date: 2017-01-01, end date: 2017-06-30

 

-- Sushi Transfer completed --

Failed XML parsing or no data was found.

The following is the XML response:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"><soapenv:Body><soapenv:Fault><faultcode>soapenv:Server.userException</faultcode><faultstring>org.xml.sax.SAXException: SimpleDeserializer encountered a child element, which is NOT expected, in something it was trying to deserialize.</faultstring><detail><ns1:hostname xmlns:ns1="http://xml.apache.org/axis/">tg-pxdym10</ns1:hostname></detail></soapenv:Fault></soapenv:Body></soapenv:Envelope>

 

When we test the connection with the following setup, the connection for Gale is successful. The error message above occurs, though, whenever we attempt to actually run a report. Here are our settings:

 

Service URL  http://sushi.galegroup.com/gale-sushi-service/services/SushiServicePort

WSDL URL  

COUNTER Release

Report Layouts

DB1

Requestor ID  [our admin login]

Customer ID  loc=[our location id]

Password  [our admin password]

 

One more thing: we also happen to have access to ExLibris’s UStat service and although we don’t use it (preferring CORAL), sometimes I check that system to test a particular vendor setup using a different SUSHI client, which often helps me figure out particular wrinkles. However, Gale is not even listed as a valid vendor choice in that service, so this makes me wonder.
