Onix "Change Destination" list to include e-content destinations

Area Impacted:

Onix / Dest. > Generate Onix

Request Summary:

On the "Change Destination" list, include e-content distribution destinations (not just regular onix destinations)

Description/Use Cases:

Often it is necessary to re-send some titles to a specific onix destination, either because there was a problem with the destination, or an urgent change needs to be pushed through before the next scheduled update for that destination. This is currently possible for onix-only destinations, but not e-content destinations.

Impact of limitation or missing feature:

Either involves significant manual effort to export the generic onix for the affected titles, refactor it for the relevant destination, and then upload via FTP. Or requires a full send, which can take significant time and server resources (isn't desirable when testing with just one or two titles).

Other necessary information or resources:

N/a

Dear Richard,

Thank you for submitting your feature request. The team are keen to hear your ideas and would like to clarify some information before we proceed. Namely, in the use cases that you have listed in your request, are you looking to resend the Onix only to these destinations, or are you looking to also send assets (eg. eBooks and cover images) from the "Generate Onix" page?

Do let us know if you feel there is any more detail that would be useful in outlining your request.

Kind regards,

Publisher Support Advisor

Hi Emma,

Sometimes it is one or the other, sometimes it is both. It depends on what caused the problem that requires a resend.

Best wishes,
Richard
