Answer

When to notify Capira

Capira requests as much advance notice as possible for any ILS change. Provide at least 90 days’ notice to support configuration, testing, and a coordinated cutover.

Information Capira needs

1) Cutover timing

  • The exact date and time the ILS switch will occur (include time zone) and any planned downtime window.

2) Test account for validation

Provide at least one test patron account (barcode + PIN) that meets all of the following:

  • Good standing (not blocked)
  • 10 checkouts that are eligible for renewal
  • 10 holds (any type)
  • 2–3 fine charges totaling $1.00 or less

3) Search filters and codes

A list of search filters and their corresponding codes used by the ILS, for example:

  • “Books” → BKS

4) Connection and authentication details

Provide the required hostname/port and authentication details based on your ILS integration method.

General

  • Server connection information: Hostname/IP and Port
  • SIP port (if using SIP), or required API credentials (if using APIs)

If your library wants to use Mobile Circ Checkout in the Capira App

  • Mobile Circ Checkout requires SIP2 connection information:
    • SIP2 Hostname/IP
    • SIP2 Port
    • SIP2 Login credentials
