SRU diagnostics are emitted as warnings except for parser set to meta.

CONFIGURATION

base

Base URL of the SRU server (required)

query

CQL query (required)

Number of records to fetch in one batch, set to 10 by default. This is translated to SRU request parameter maximumRecords.

Records are fetched in multiple batches of this size or less.

total

Total number of records this importer may return.

Not set by default

recordSchema

Set to dc by default

Optional sorting

operation

parser

Controls how records are parsed before importing. The following options are possible:

• Instance of a Perl package that implements a parse subroutine. See the default value Catmandu::Importer::SRU::Parser for an example.

• Name of a Perl package that implements a parse subroutine. The name must be prepended by + or it prefixed with Catmandu::Importer::SRU::Parser::. For instance marcxml will create a Catmandu::Importer::SRU::Parser::marcxml.

• Function reference that gets passed the unparsed record.
