This is an alternative for suppliers/locations who are non-ISO compliant. The management of requests sent or received via Generic Script emails is a two-way process. VDX can send and receive a variety of messages (Request, Cancellation, Reply, Shipped , General Message, Renew , Renew Answer, Overdue) throughout the life of a given transaction.
For example this is used by a large number of non-ISO ILL systems in Canada.
Note: If the responding process has been automated (i.e. docfind-responder has been implemented), then an incoming generic script protocol request without a media type will be handled as a monograph.
Processing Requests Placed Via Generic Script Protocol
There is a requirement for some Generic Script Lenders (Responders) to be able to manually input Borrower (Requester)-side notifications, such as Canceled and Received etc. so that they can keep the VDX database up to date with the actual 'manual' transactions taking place. Therefore from VDX v3.0, additional ILL Actions have been put in place for Lenders (Responders) to update the database in this way.
When the lender/responder acts on the requests to update Borrower/Requester side actions:
•specific actions are provided to enable you to update the status of the request
•screens relevant to the action you selected are provided
•appropriate ILL messages appear in the history section of the request record
•no protocol messaging occurs
When responding to a request as a Location using the Generic Script protocol, you locate the request in the hit list and use the drop down box of ILL Actions as normal:
1.Search for the relevant request in the Requests domain
2.Locate the item in the hit-list and use the drop down box to select from the list of available ILL Actions.
3.Actions include Informed Returned, Informed Received, and Informed Canceled. You choose the suitable action depending on the borrower (requester)’s response.
The following table illustrates the manual specific Actions and screens available to Locations using the Generic Script Driver protocol:

Note: VDX can automatically create requesting or responding locations using the Generic Script Protocol. In practice you are more likely to want this to be requesting locations. The System administrator need not enter a location before VDX can accept a request from a foreign location using either the ISO protocol, or the Generic Script protocol.
