  Developing the Bucket View    
 

The ADL bucket view defines the searchable information in your collection.

Decide what buckets are supported by your collection, see the ADL SEarch Bucket Description for more information about ADL Buckets.

Mock up report
validate XML
create and test query(queries)

SUSPENSE ? MORE DETAILS
Building up the bucket report, one bucket at a time.
If can be difficult to get the bucket view to function, we suggest starting out simply, a bucket, and subfields at a time.

Add the query to the bucket99.conf file
Since this is a single table schema, we can
NEED QUERY

Add the buckets that are constants, and the titles bucket, first.
Let?s add

Testing you adl:bucket view

cd to bucket99tests

Type:
bucket.sh ?Dcollection=(your collection name)
This does two step, it retrieves the report, then validates the report. The reports are retrieved to [collection_name]/bucket-[holding_id].xml

If an error message mentions validation, the report has been created, but is not valid. You can check to see if report is valid XML and
If it mentions?. The report creation has failed.
