Remove Partner of Last Resort

If you previously used either ILLiad or WorldShareILL as the Partner of Last Resort in Rapido then you will need to deactivate and eventually remove the partner configurations once you no longer have the additional system. Fortunately, deactivating this configuration is far more simple than adding it.

To deactivate your last resort partner go to Alma > Fulfillment > Resource Sharing > Partners and search for the partner. Most libraries named this partner ILLiad or WorldShare or a variation such as ILLiad as Last Resort. Once you have located the partner click the name of the partner or the ellipsis (...) followed by Edit to edit the partner. Once inside the partner select the Status drop down box and change it to Inactive and then Save the changes to the partner. The partner is now deactivated.

You cannot delete the partner until there are no more requests attached to the partner. Deactivating the partner is sufficient for the process of cancelling ILLiad or WorldShare. After the other system is fully cancelled with OCLC, and all requests are complete, the partner can be deleted by clicking the ellipsis (...) and selecting Remove next to the partner in the Resource Sharing Partner List. 

To delete your last resort rota go to Alma > Fulfillment > Resource Sharing > Rota Templates and find your partner of last resort Rota. Select the ellipsis (...) next to the Rota and select Remove. The Rota has now been deleted. 

To delete the Rota Assignment Rule associated with your Partner of Last Resort Rota go to Alma Configuration > Fulfillment > Resource Sharing > Rota Assignment Rules and find the rule. Select the ellipsis (...) next to the Rota Assignment Rule and select Delete. The Rota has now been deleted. 

The Borrowing Mediation rule that stops requests from going directly to ILLiad or WorldShare and adds an Enrich label can now be disabled and deleted. This rule shouldn't trigger anymore since the requests wont be attempting to go to ILLiad or WorldShare. 

To disable the Borrowing Mediation Rule go to Configuration > Resource Sharing > Rapido Rules > Borrowing Mediation Rules. The rule you will want to disable and delete is probably called Enrich or Enrich from Global Index. 

Even though you will no longer have this rule, you should still use the Enrich feature on all unfilled requests.
