We used the OSU instructions at https://osu.illiad.oclc.org/illiad/osu/lending/odysseyfaq.html and the instructions from Atlas. It seemed that the OSU instructions were more complete and useful to us. We are using it simultaneously with Ariel on the same computer and have not had any problems with having both programs. This allowed us to use the static IP we already had for Ariel, with the modification of the ports that needed to be open for Odyssey. We are primarily interested in receiving via Odyssey and it did take a bit of work to get all the pieces to fall into place so that it was working properly. Being sure that you have your OCLC constant data formatted properly is vital. We have found a few minor drawbacks: - even after setting up our address book, we still have trouble identifying in-coming requests without having to go back to firstsearch to obtain the IL: number/patron information. This is frustrating for our student assistants because Odyssey clearly has fields that should be populated with this information, but isn't. It's rare that we get a coversheet as the first page of the file which would have this information available. I think the issue maybe that places that use Illiad don't send coversheets because they assume that information is transferred straight from Illiad to Odyssey, as it may be if sending from one Illiad location to another. - The Odyssey file name is a random set of numbers - if it could be the IL number or if people could name the file themselves when sending, it could help identify the request better. - We've had very limited success using the feature that would allow us to communicate with a library that sent us a file (this seems like a really great feature, if it would work properly). It would very handy to use for a file that is missing pages, etc. Overall, we've been really pleased with Odyssey and our student assistants prefer it to Ariel.

One I'd like to pose to the group is: Is it possible to upload an already existing set of addresses with IP addresses into the Odyssey address book? Has anyone ever tried to figure out how to do that? I also discovered (I think) that if you put your Odyssey address information into the Verified field in your request, that ILLiad will automatically recognize that you have Odyssey. I don't think this happens with the address in the Email field. The problem is, you have to edit each request; Constant Data cannot modify the Verified field. Has anyone else experimented with this?

But I can see how that would be helpful if you were getting a new computer or having an old one re-imaged and didn't want to lose the address data you've accumulated. I'd also be interested to hear if anyone else has successfully copied the address book (or the entire OdysseyDatabase / Odyssey folder) from one PC to another and not had to start installation from scratch. Regarding how Odyssey Standalone sends/receives with ILLiad sites, two thoughts occur to me: 1) Open Odyssey on your computer and look at the blue bar at the top of the screen. Make sure it indicates Odyssey 2.0.1.0. If the blue bar displays Odyssey 1.0, click the Help dropdown menu and choose Check For Updates. Your PC may freeze up for several minutes while the update to version 2.0.1.0 occurs. Version 1.0 is not compatible to send and receive with ILLiad locations, but version 2.0.1.0 fixed that problem. 2) As long as Odyssey Standalone libraries using version 2.0.1.0 have their Odyssey address in the proper format in the Email field of their Constant Data, there is no need to put it in the Verified field with each request. The format in the Email field must be where 123.123.123.123 is your PC's static IP address. -Brian/OSU At 09:25 AM 9/11/2009, you wrote: >Hi, > >I did my first Odyssey Standalone workshop yesterday and a couple of >interesting questions came up.

The questions have to do with network setup and with security. As I understand it, Odyssey is a database service that can send and receive documents, not a web server or an e-mail server. It needs a publically available IP address that runs on port 7968. No other publically accessible port needs to be open on the network adapter or the firewall specifically for Odyssey's operations. Is this correct? Because of the need for Odyssey to have a unique public IP address, it will have to be in the DMZ of the site's firewall to be publically accessible. Is this correct? Because the Odyssey service does not run as a named host, but rather is used only through an IP address, no DNS entries are needed. Is this correct? Odyssey can run on a desktop computer that can be simply located in the ILL room. That computer will already have a private IP address assigned to it associated with your site's LAN. For simplicity and security, is it desirable to install a second network adapter for Odyssey to run through, to which a public IP address could be assigned and the adapter connected directly to the DMZ? Then that IP address on the DMZ could be configured to have only port 7968 open. Is this how to do these aspects of the setup? I would be grateful for any insights on these questions.

It would still require looking them up in OCLC's Policies Directory to get the OCLC symbol. So it's a couple of steps, but it might work.

It is possible to run Odyssey over a network, but I have no experience with this and can offer no other information. Odyssey does not need e-mail, FTP, or any other network service to operate. Odyssey does need a public IP address with TCP send and receive open on port 7968. No other ports need to be open. This port also needs to be open for send and receive on any software firewall installed on the Odyssey workstation (Windows Firewall, for example). I don't know enough about firewalls to answer the question about the DMZ. Sorry. The Odyssey workstation does not need to be entered into any publicly available DNS service. Odyssey sending and receiving outside the firewall is strictly based on the public IP address. If your institution runs an internal DNS, it might need to be listed there, depending on how the firewall is set up to translate the public IP address to the internal IP address. We ran into a problem with that when we had to replace our Odyssey workstation recently and had to be sure the machine names were the same. Our Odyssey workstation runs a single network adapter. Whether or not to run a second adapter would depend strictly on your IT department's opinions about network security. I hope this helps a little bit.

While we may need to do some configuration with our firewall, what we really need to make this work is a DNS redirection from the public IP, namely the IP associated with our firewall to the internal Odyssey machine with its internal private IP address. In other words, we need a redirection from 123.456.789.987/ILL (the firewall's public IP and our Odyssey's public address) to 10.0.0.0/ILL, the Odyssey machine's private IP. This is much simpler than what I originally thought about a second network adapter connected to the DMZ of the firewall.

It is possible to run Odyssey over a network, but I have no experience with this and can offer no other information. Odyssey does not need e-mail, FTP, or any other network service to operate. Odyssey does need a public IP address with TCP send and receive open on port 7968. No other ports need to be open. This port also needs to be open for send and receive on any software firewall installed on the Odyssey workstation (Windows Firewall, for example). I don't know enough about firewalls to answer the question about the DMZ. Sorry. The Odyssey workstation does not need to be entered into any publicly available DNS service. Odyssey sending and receiving outside the firewall is strictly based on the public IP address. If your institution runs an internal DNS, it might need to be listed there, depending on how the firewall is set up to translate the public IP address to the internal IP address. We ran into a problem with that when we had to replace our Odyssey workstation recently and had to be sure the machine names were the same. Our Odyssey workstation runs a single network adapter. Whether or not to run a second adapter would depend strictly on your IT department's opinions about network security. I hope this helps a little bit.

The questions have to do with network setup and with security. As I understand it, Odyssey is a database service that can send and receive documents, not a web server or an e-mail server. It needs a publically available IP address that runs on port 7968. No other publically accessible port needs to be open on the network adapter or the firewall specifically for Odyssey's operations. Is this correct? Because of the need for Odyssey to have a unique public IP address, it will have to be in the DMZ of the site's firewall to be publically accessible. Is this correct? Because the Odyssey service does not run as a named host, but rather is used only through an IP address, no DNS entries are needed. Is this correct? Odyssey can run on a desktop computer that can be simply located in the ILL room. That computer will already have a private IP address assigned to it associated with your site's LAN. For simplicity and security, is it desirable to install a second network adapter for Odyssey to run through, to which a public IP address could be assigned and the adapter connected directly to the DMZ? Then that IP address on the DMZ could be configured to have only port 7968 open. Is this how to do these aspects of the setup? I would be grateful for any insights on these questions.

I didn't change any settings, paths, or passwords. I just accepted the defaults. I am installing on a computer that only has Ariel 4.1 I received an error box during Step 2 (Setup databse) after clicking Next on the screen with the SQL Server authentication with Login ID: sa and the default password. The error stated "There was an error logging in to Microsoft SQL Server. Error: Login failed for user 'sa'. (18456) I had to cancel and exit the installer. Any suggestions (please!) on how to proceed and install Odyssey Standalone on this computer? I would like to install on my Ariel computer that has an attached scanner and printer. Thanks!
